PROTECTION AND LOCATION OF YOUR TELEVISION

16-1. If an outside antenna is connected

to the television, be sure the

antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the

National Electrical Cede, NFPA No. 70-1975, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding 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 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.

OPERATION OF YOUR TELEVISION

19. This television should be operat- ed only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the lype of power su;_ply at your home, consult your dealer or local power company. For televisions

Jesigned to operate from battery Dower, refer to the operating

instructions.

HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW HITACHI PROJECTION 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 rec:ommended for best performance. However, if you are located in an exceptionally good signal area ":h_.tisfree from interference and

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

VIFWING

Th_ major benefit of the HITACHI Projection Television is its large viewing screen. "Tosee this large screen at its beast,test various locations in the room to find the optimum spot for viewing.

Th_= best picture is seen by sitting directly in front of the TV and about 10 to 18 feet from the screen. Pi_'ture brightness decreases as the viewer moves to the left and right of the receiver.

During daylight hours, reflections from outside light may appear on the screen. If so, drapes or screens can be usecl to reduce the

refection or the TV can be located in a different section of the room.

Ifthe 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 Lhepicture screen center. For be=3tstereo 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.

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 be.,;tperformance, 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 standarcl video and audio cables which connect to

inputs ;]nd outputs located on the television's rear jack panel and front control panel.

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS TO REAR JACK PANEL

VHF (75-Ohm) antenna/CATV (Cable "rv) 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 hace a second antenna or cable TV system, connect the coaxial

cable to the ANT B terminal.

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

jack on the television.,

S-Video (Super Video) Connector

This connector is used on camcorders, VCRs, and laserdisc

players with an S-Video feature in place of the stan4ard video cable to produce a high quality picture.
