CAUTIONS

1. If your television set is to remain unused for a long period of time, for instance, when you go on vacation,unplug the television from the wall outlet.

2. Do not subject the remote control to shocks such as dropping it on tile floor, etc. Precision parts may bedamaged.

3. Do not allow the remote control to become wet and avoid placing it in _lreas of high humidity. Do not leave iton or near a heater. Excess heat or moisture may cause the unit to cerise operation.

4. If the batteries become exhausted, remote control operation may become erratic or stop altogether. Replacethe old batteries with new "AA" (SUM-3) types.

NOTES:

1. The 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 NFW HITAC;HI COLOR

ANTENNA

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

LOCATION

Select an area where sunlight or bright indoor illumination will not fall directly oq the picture screen. Also, be sure th_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 TV where tenperatures can become excessively hot, for example, in direc_Lsunlight 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 vaious locations in the room to find the best spot for viewing. rhe 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 dayliglhours, reflections from outside light may appear on the screen. If so, drapes or screens can be used to reduce tFreflection 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 spe,_kers, the best audio performance will bobtained by placing the speakers equidistant from each side of the receiver cabinet and as close as possible to thheight of the picture screen center. For best stereo separation, place the ex:ernal speakers; at least 4 feet from tt_side of the television. Place the surround speakers to the sicle or behind the viewing area. Differences in room sizeand acoustical environments will require some experimentation with speaker i)lacement for best performance.

HOOKUP CABLES AND CONNECTOR

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 c'oaxial 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 type,'_ required by the various components.Also make sure the cables are the correct length.

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

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

"F" Type 75-Ohm Coaxial Antenna ConnectorFor connecting FLFsignals (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 i_ used on camcorders, VCRs and laser-

disc players witl_ an S-Video feature in place of thestandard video cable to produce a high quality picture.

ANTENNA CONNECTIONSThese 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.

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