Our reputation has been built on the quality, performance, and ease of service of HITACHI televisions.

Safety is also foremost in our minds in the design of these units. To help you operate these products properly, this section illustrates safety tips which will be of benefit to you. Please read it carefully and apply the knowledge you obtain from it to the proper operatior_ of your HITACHI television.

Please fill out your warranty card and mail it to HITACHI. This will enable HITACHI to notify you promptly in the improbable event that a safety problem should be discovered in your product model.

FOR YOURPERSONALSAFETY

This television is equipped with a polarized three-prong grounded, alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other}. This plug will fit into the

power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversio£ the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contacE your

electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety

purpose of the polarized plug

When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed, unplug the

television from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service

personnel.

3, Do not ovedoad wall outlets and

extension cords as this can result in fire or electric shock

Do not attempt to service the television yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you

to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Never push objects of any kind into the television's cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points or snort out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the television.

PROTECTION AND LOCATION OF YOUR TELEVISION

16-1. If an outside antenna is connected

to the television, be sure the

antenna system is groueded so as to provide some protection against

voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the

National Electrical Code. NFPA No 70-1975, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and .,;upporting structure, grounding of :he lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unil

connection to groun¢ling eLec- trode, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

16-2. Note to CATV system installer:

(Only for television with CATV reception). This reminder is

provided to call the CA'P,/system installer's attention to Article

820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding

and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be

connected to the grounding

system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

PICTURE CAUTIONS

Picture Burn Prevention

• Continuous on-screen displays such as video games, stock market quotations, computer generated graphics, and other fixed (non-moving) patterns can cause permanent damage to color television receivers. Such "PATTERN

BURNS" constitute misuse and are NOT COVERED by your HITACHI Factory Warranly.

• When using Picture-in-Picture function, the sub-picture should not be left permanently in one corner of the screen or a "PATTERN BURN" may develop over a long period of time.

Public Viewing of Copyrighted Material Public viewing of programs broadcast by -IV stations and cable companies, as well as programs from other sources, may require prior autt_,orization from the broadcaster or owner of the video program material.

ACCESSORIES

Check that you have the following accessories before disposing of the packing material.

heater. Excess heat or moisture may cause the unit to cease operation.

4. If the batteries become exhausted, remote control operation may become erratic or stop altogether. Replace the old batteries with new "AA" types.

NOTES:

1. The CHANNEL NO.I VOLUME, and OFF TIMER indicators are not displayed simultaneously.

2. To operate your TV, point the remote control at the remote sensor of the "IV.

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 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 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 -I_' 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 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 "-V 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 j3icturescreen 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.

4' MINIMUM

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 unlil there is no pcture

distortion.

HOOK-UP CABLES AND CONNEC'I'ORS

Most video/audio connectiorls between components cart 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 store,'; that sell audio/video products. Below are illustrations and name,'; of common connectors. Before purchasing any cables, be sure of the output and input connector types required by the 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).

"F" Type 75-Ohm Coaxial Antenna Connector For connecting RF signals (antenna or cable TV) to the antenna

jack on the television.

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

inputs and outputs located on the television's rear jack panel and frc,nt control panel.

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) antennaiCATV When using a 75-Ohm coaxial cable system,

disconnect the VHF adaptor from the VHF 75-Ohm

receptacle and connect the outdoor antenna or CATV cable to a VHF 75-Ohm receptacle.

S-Video (Super Video) Connector This connector is used on camcorders, VCRs and laserdisc

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

3. When both VHF and UHF antennas are connected Attach an optional ANTENNA MIXE R tc the TV
