IMPORTANT

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 Code, 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 82040 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.

EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE INSTRUCTIONS.

17.An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electrical lights or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

18.For added protection for the television during a lightning storm, or when it is unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect antenna. This will prevent damage due to lightning and power-line surges.

OPERATION OF YOUR TELEVISION

19.This television should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply at your home, consult your dealer or local power company. For televisions designed to operate from battery power, refer to the operating instructions.

20.If the television does not operate normally by following the operating instructions, unplug the television

from the wall outlet and refer

 

servicing to

qualified

service

 

personnel.

Adjust only

those

 

controls that are covered in the instructions as improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified service technician to restore the television to normal operation.

21.If your television is to remain unused for a period of time, (such as when going on a holiday), turn

the television OFF and unplug it from the wall outlet.

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CAUTION: The magnetic field of external speakers may cause the picture to distort if the speakers are placed too close to the color television. Move the speakers away from the color TV 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.

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.

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

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.
