HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW HITACHI COLOR TV

ANTENNA

Unless your TV is connected to a cable TV system or to a centralized antenna system, a good outdoor color TV antenna is recommended for best performance. However, if you are located in an exceptionally good signal area that isfree from interferenceand

multipleimage ghosts, an indoor antenna may be sufficient.

LOCATION

Select an area where sunlight or bright indoor illuminationwill not fall directly on the picture screen. Also, be sure that the location selected allows a free flow of air to and from the perforated back cover of the set. To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and increased chance of set failure, do not place the TV where temperatures can

become excessively hot, for example, in direct sunlightor near a heating appliance, etc.

VIEWING

The major benefit of the HITACHI Color Television is its large viewing screen. To see this large screen at its best, test various locations in the room to find the optimum spot for viewing. The drawings give several suggestions.

The best picture is seen by sitting directly in front of the "IV and about 6 to 9 feet from the screen. During daylight hours, reflections from outside light may appear on the screen. If so, drapes or screens can be used to reduce the reflection or the "IV can be located in a

different section of the room.

If the "FV'saudio output will be connected to a Hi-Fi system's external speakers, the best audio performance will be obtained by placing

the speakers equidistant from each side of the receiver cabinet and as close as possible to the height of the picture screen center. For

best stereo separation, place the external speakers at leastfour feet from the side of the "IV, place the surroundspeakers to the side or behind the viewing area. Differences in room sizes and acoustical environments will require some experimentation with speaker

placement for best performance.

I ,_CAUTION:

4' MINIMUM

Magnetic fields, such as those of external speakers, may cause the picture to distort if they are placed too

close to the television. Move the magnetic field source away from the television until there is no picture distortion.

HOOK-UP CABLES AND CONNECTORS

Most video/audio connections between components can be made with shielded video and audio cables that have phono connectors. For best performance, video cables should use 75-Ohm coaxial shielded wire. Cables can be purchased from most stores that sell

audio/videoproducts. Below are illustrations and names ofcommon connectors. Before purchasing any cables, be sure of the output and input connector types required bythe various components and the length of each cable.

300-Ohm Twin Lead Connector This outdoor antenna cable must be connected to an antenna

adapter (300-Ohm to 75-Ohm).

Phono Connector Used on all standard video and audio cables which connect to

inputsand outputslocated on the television's rear jack panel and

front control panel.

"F" Type 75-Ohm Coaxial Antenna Connector

For connectingRF signals (antenna or cableTV) to the antenna

jack on the television.

S-Video (Super Video) Connector

This connector is used on camcorders, VCRs, and laserdisc

players with an S-Video feature in place of the standard video cable to produce a high quality picture.

Antenna Connections These sets are equipped with one VHF/UHF antenna terminal. The VHF/UHF terminal can be used for normal TV, cable TV (CATV), a

TV game, etc.

VHF (75-Ohm) antenna/CAW (Cable TV) When using a 75-Ohm coaxial cable system, connect

the outdoor antenna or CATV coaxial cable to the ANT A (75-Ohm) terminal. If you have a second antenna or

cableTV system, connect the coaxial cable to the ANT B terminal.

CARE OF YOUR HITACHI COLOR TV

AND YOUR REMOTE CONTROL

Make sure the TV set is turned OFF when cleaning the screen.

Dust the screen and cabinet with a soft cloth.

Clean the screen with a soft cloth moistened in warm water and dry with a soft cloth. A mild soap may be used if

the screen is extremely dirty.

Place your television away from extreme heat, humidity,and extremely dusty places.

Remove the plug from the wall outlet if your television will not be used for a long period of time, for instances, when you go on vacation.

DO NOT

Do not clean your screen or cabinet with strongcleaners, polishes or a chemically treated cloth.

Do not place rubber or vinyl products or cellophane tape on your television.

Do not touch the screen too often.

Do not subject the remote control to shocks such as dropping it on the floor, etc. Physical damage to the precision

parts may result.

Avoid placing the remote control in a high humidity place or getting it wet. Do not leave it on or near a heater.

Excessive heat or moisture may cause the unit to cease operation.

When the batteries run down, remote control operation will become erratic or possibly stop altogether. Replace the old batteries with two new "AA" size batteries.

RECEPTION PROBLEMS

• IGNITION NOISE: Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, picture may flutter or drift.

Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electrical drills, and other electrical appliances.

• GHOSTS: Ghostsare caused by the television signal followingtwo paths. One isthe

directpath and the other is reflected from tall buildings,hillsor some other objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve

reception. Ghosting may also be caused by defects in the antenna system such as unshielded leads or connecting several sets to the same antenna withoutusing multipleantenna couplers.

• SNOW:

If your receiver is located in the fringe area of a television station where

the signal isweak, your picture may be marred by the appearance of small dots. When the signal is extremely weak, it may be necessary to installa

special antenna to improve the picture.

NOTE:

• RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE: The interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks, and in

some cases, causes loss of contrast in the picture.

The TV set can generate sound distortionin external devices such as a radio. Please separate radio equipment from the TV set to a considerable distance.
