NO'fES:

1. ]-he CHANNEL NO., VOLUME, and OFF TIMER indicators are not displayed simultaneously.

2. To operate your TV, point the remote control at the remote sensor of the TV.

HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW HITACHI COLOR TV

ANTEN_IA

Unless your TV is connected to a cable TV system or to a centralized antenna system, a good outdoor color TV anten-na is recommended for best performance. However, if you are located in an exceptionally good signal area that is freefrom interference and multiple image ghosts, an indoor antenna may be sufficient.

LOCATION

Select an area where sunlight or bright indoor illuminationwill not fall directly on the picture screen. Also, be sure thatthe 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 TV where tem-peratures can become excessively hot, for example, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance, etc.

VIEWING

The major benefit of the HITACHI Color Television is its large viewing screen. To see this screen at its best, test var-ious locations in the room to find the best spot for viewing. The drawings give several suggestions.

The best picture is seen by sitting directly in front of the TV and about 6 to 9 feet from the screen. During daylighthours, reflections from outside light may appear on the screen. If so, drapes or screens can be used to reduce thereflection or the TV can be located in a different section of the room.

If the TV's audio output will be connected to a Hi-Fi system's external speakers, the best audio performance will beobtained by placing the speakers equidistant from each side of the receiver cabinet and as close as possible to theheight ol the picture screen center. For best stereo separation, place the external speakers at least 4 feet from theside of the television. Place the surround speakers to the side or behind the viewing area. Differences in room sizesand acoustical environments will require some experimentation with speaker placement for best performance

VIEWINGANGLE

91O' 3' 6'

I

The magnetic field of external speakers may cause the picture to distort if the speakers areplaced too close to the television. Move the speakers away from the TV until there is nopicture distortion.

HOOKUP CABLES AND CONNECTOR

Most video/audio connections between components can be made with shielded video and audio cables that havephono connectors. For best performance, video cables should use 75-Ohm coaxial shielded wire. Cables can be pur-chased 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.

300-Ohm Twin Lead ConnectorThis ouIdoor antenna cable must be connected to an

antenna adapter (300-Ohm to 75-Ohm).

@"F" Type 75-Ohm Coaxial Antenna ConnectorFor connecting RF signals (antenna or cable TV) to theantenna jack on the television.

Phono ConnectorUsed on all standard video and audio cables which con-

nect to inputs and outputs located on the television'srear jack panel and front control panel.

S-Video (Super Video) ConnectorThis connector is used on camcorders, VCRs and laser-disc players with an S-Video feature in place of thestandard video cable to produce a high quality ;)icture.

ANTEN NA CONNECTIONS

These 'Jets are equipped with one VHF/UHF antenna terminal. The VHF/UHF terminal can be used for normal "IV,cable TV (CATV), a TV game, etc.

1. VHF(75-Ohm) antenna/CATVWhen using a 75-Ohm coaxial cable system,

disconnect the VHF adaptor from the VHF 75-Ohm
