PROTECTION AND LOCATION OF YOUR TELEVISION

16-1 If an outside antenna is connected

to the television, be sule the antenna system is grz)unded 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 supporting structure, grounding of the leadqn wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of groundhog conductors,

location of antenna discharge unit connection to grounding

electrode, 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 CATV system

installer s attention to Artic_e 820- 40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding

HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW HITACHI COLOR TV

ANTENNA

Unless your color 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 back cover of the set.

To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and increased chance of set failure, do not place the color TV where

temperatures can become excessively hot, for example, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance, etc.

VIEWING

To view the color television screen at its best, test various locations in the room. The drawings below show several suggestions.

The best picture is seen by sitting directly in front of the color 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 color TV can be located in a different section of the room.

If the color 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 color television, 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

15'

,_CAUTION: The magnetic field of external speakers may cause the picture to distort if the speakers are placed too close I

to the color television. Move the speakers away from the color TV until there is no picture distortion.

HOOK-UP CABLES AND CONNECTORS

Most videolaudio 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 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

inputs and outputs located on the television s rear jack panel and front 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) antenna/CATV (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

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

players with an S-Video feature in 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 MIXER to the TV antenna terminal and connect the cables to the

2. Consult your dealer or service store for the ANTENNA MIXER and (VHF or UHF) adaptor.

3. The special converter (decoder) will be supplied by the cable company.
