HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW HITACHI COLOR TV

ENNA

_syour TV isconnected to a cable TV system or to a centralized antenna system, a good outdoor colorTV antenna

•ommended for the best performance. However, ifyou are located in an exceptionally good signal area that is free interference and multiple image ghosts, an indoor antenna may be sufficient.

ATION

:t an area where sunlight or bright indoor illumination will not fall directly on the picture screen. Also, be sure that _cation selected allows a free flow of air to and from the perforated back cover of the set.

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

eratures can become excessively hot. For example, indirect sunlight or near a heating appliance, etc.

lING

"najor benefit of the HITACHI Color Television is its

viewing screen. To see this large screen at its best,

,arious locations in the room to find the best spot for

BEST t

VER'IICALVIEWING| ANGLE

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 ofthe receiver cabinet and as close as possible to the height ofthe picture screen center. For best stereo

separation, place the extemal speakers at least 4 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 ex-

perimentation with speaker placement for best perfor- mance.

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 components. Also make sure the cables are the correct length.
