Upon completion of any selvice or repairs to the te{evision, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks to determine that the television _s in safe operating condition¸

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 projection television receivers. Such "PATTERN BURNS _constitute misuse and are NOT COVERED by your HITACHI Factory Warranty.

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 authorization from the broadcaster or owner of the video program material.

CAUTION:

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 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 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 Projection 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 best picture is seen by sitting directly in front of the TV and about 10 to 18 feet from the screen. Picture 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 used to reduce the reflection or the TV can be located in a different section of the room.

ffthe 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.

4' MINIMUM

4'MINIMUM

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 components and the length of each cable.

30O*Ohm Twin Lead Connector This outdoor antenna cable mast 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 TO REAR JACK PANEL

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.

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

jack on the television.

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

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

When both VHF and UHF antennas are connected Attach an optional antenna cable mixer to the TV antenna

terminal, and connect the cables to the antenna mixer. Consult your dealer or service store for the antenna mixer.
