HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW HITACHI COLOR TV

ANTENNA

Unless your _ isconnected to a cable _ system or to a centralized antenna system, a good outdoor color _ antenna

is recommended for the best performance. However, if you are located in an exceptionally good signal area that is free
from interference and multiple image ghosts, an indoor antenna may be sufficient.

LOCATION

Select an area wheresunlightorbright indoorillumination willnotfall directly on the picture screen. Also, be surethat

the location selectedallowsa free flow ofairto and from thecoverof theset.
To avoidcabinetwarping, cabinetcolorchanges,and increasedchance of set failure, do not place the TV where

temperaturescanbecomeexcessivelyhot. Forexample,in direct sunlightor near a heatingappliance,etc.

VIEWING

The major benefit of the HITACHI Color Television is its
viewing screen. To see this screen at its best, test various

locations in the room to find the best spot for viewing. The
drawiings give several suggestions.

The l-)estpicture is seen by sittingdirectly infront of the
and about 3 to 6 feet from the screen.

Dudng daylighthours, reflectionsfrom outsidelight may

appear on the screen. Ifso, drapesor screenscan be

usedto reducethe reflectionor the TV can be locatedin
a differentsectionofthe room.

If the TV's audio output will be connected to a Hi-Fi

system'sexternalspeakers,the bestaudioperformance
willbe obtainedbyplacingthespeakersequidistantfrom

eachsideofthereceivercabinetandascloseaspossible
tothe heightofthe picturescreencenter. Forbeststereo

separation,place the external speakersat least4 feet
from thesideof theTV. Place thesurroundspeakersto

USING THE GENIUS REMOTE TO LEARN ADDITIONAL
FUNCTIONS FOR CLU-851GR

The Genius Remote is equipped with a leaming function
which allows it to learn additional infrared control codes.

This remote will not only control the television, a VCR, and

a cable box, but also other electronic equipment which
uses an infrared remote transmitter, by learning the

transmitl:er's codes.

Only infrared remote control codes can be stored in
memory.

POWER READY LEARN

BEFORE STARTING THE MEMORY OPERATION

Since the infrared signals sent from the remote transmit-
ter may be reflected by a wall, door, etc., even if the
transmitter is not pointed directly at the device, it may
operate. When storing the remote control codes of an-
other device, turn OFF the power of the device (VCR,
Cable Converter, etc.)

If you do not do this, the device may work unexpectedly.
The power could be turned ON, an important tape could

be erased, the volume could increase too much, etc..

RECEPTION PROBLEMS

• IGNITION NOISE:
Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, pictu re may flutter or drift. Usually caused

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

f

• GHOSTS:
Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the direct path and

the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills or 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 without using multiple antenna couplers.

• SNOW:
