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 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 where sunlight or bright indoor illumination will not fall directly on the picture screen. Also, be sure that the location selected allows 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 sunlight or 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
HOOK-UP CABLES AND CONNECTORS - 10 -
suggestions. The best picture is seen by sitting directly in front of the TV 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 TV can be located in a different section of the room. If the TV's audio 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 least four feet from the side of the TV, place the surround speakers 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.
CAUTION: 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/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 componentsand the length of each cable.
300-Ohm Twin Lead Connector "F" Type 75-Ohm Coaxial Antenna Connector

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.
1. VHF (75 Ohm) antenna/CATV
When using a 75-Ohm coaxial cable system, disconnect the VHF adapter from the VHF 75-Ohm receptacle and connect the outdoor antenna or CATV cable to a VHF 75-Ohm
receptacle.
2. VHF (300 Ohm) antenna/UHF antenna
When using a 300-Ohm twin lead from an outdoor antenna disconnect the (VHF or UHF) indoor antenna leads from screws of the (VHF or UHF) adapter and connect outdoor (VHF or UHF) antenna leads to these screws of a (VHF or UHF) adapter.
3. When both VHF and UHF antennas are connected
Attach an optional ANTENNA MIXER to the TV antenna terminal and connect the cables to the ANTENNA MIXER.
Notes:
1. If an outdoor antenna/CATV is used, disconnect the indoor antenna. Ghosting and poor reception may result if both the indoor and outdoor antennas/CATV are connected at the same time.
2. Consult your dealer or service store for the ANTENNA MIXER and (VHF or UHF) adaptor.

CARE OF YOUR HITACHI iiiPROJECTION TV AND YOUR REMOTE CONTROL
DO
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 strong cleaners, polishes or a chemically treated cloth. Do not place rubber or vinyl products or cellophane tape on your set. 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.
RECEPTION PROBLEMS - 45 -
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. Exposure of the viewing screen to prolonged direct sunlight or heat may cause the screen to permanently warp, resulting in a distorted picture.
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: 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: If your receiver is located in the fringe area of a television station where the signal is weak, your picture may be marred by the appearance of small dots. When the signal is extremely weak, it may be necessary to install a special antenna to improve the picture.
• RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE: The interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks, and in some cases, causes loss of contrast in the picture.
NOTE: The TV set can generate sound distortion in external devices such as a radio. Please separate radio equipment from the TV set to a considerable distance.
