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
thesideor behindtheviewingarea. Differencesinroom
sizesand acousticalenvironmentswillrequiresome ex- perimentationwithspeaker placement for best perfor-
mance.
CAUTION:
The magneticfieldof external speakersmaycausethe _ picture to distort ifthe speakersare placed too close tothe television. Move thespeakers away from the_ untilthere is no picture
distortion.

HOOK-UP CABLES AND CONNECTORS
Most audio/video 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/video products. Below are illustrations and names of common connectors.
Before purchasing any cables, be sure of the output and input connector types required by the various components. Also,
make sure the cables are the correct length.
300-OHM TWIN LEAD CONNECTOR
This outdoor antenna cable must be connected to an
antenna adaptor (300-Ohm to 75-Ohm).

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: Ifyourreceiverislocatedinthefringeareaofatelevisionstationwherethesignalisweak,
your picturemay be marred by the appearance of small dots. When the signalis extremelyweak,it maybenecessarytoinstalla specialantennatoimprovethe picture.
