BO'rTOM VIEW
CAUTIONS
1. If your television set is to remain unused tor 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 the floor, etc. Precision parts may be
damaged.
3. Do not allow the remote control to become wet and avoid placing it in areas of high humidity. Do not leave it
on or near a heater. Excess heat or moisture may cause the unit to cease operation.
4. If the batteries become exhausted, remote control operation may become erratic or stop altogether. Replace
the 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 NEW HITACHI COLOR TV
ANTENNA
Unless your TV is connected to a cable TV system or toa centralized antenna system, a good outdoor colorTV anten-
na is recommended for best performance. However, if you are located in an exceptionally good signal area that isfree
from 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 picturescreen. 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 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 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.
If the TV's audio output will be connected to a Hi-Fi system's extemal 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 extemal speakers at least 4 feet from the
side ofthe 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.
4' MINIMUM
4' MINIMUM
I _CAUTION:
The magnetic field of extemal speakers may cause the picture to distort if the speakers are I
placed too close to the television. Move the speakers away from the TV until there is no
I
picture distortion.
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 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 inputconnector types required by the various components.
Also make sure the cables are the correct length.
300-Ohm Twin Lead Connector
This outdoor antenna cable must be connected to an
antenna adapter (300-Ohm to 75-Ohm).
"F" Type 75-Ohm Coaxial Antenna Connector
For connecting RF signals (antenna or cable TV) to the
antenna jack on the television.
O
--=.<DO
Phono Connector
Used on all standard video and audio cables whichcon-
nect to inputs and outputs located on the television's
rear jack panel and front control panel.
S-Video (Super Video) Connector
This connectoris used oncamcorders, VCRs and laser-
disc 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 VHFAJHF antenna terminal. The VHFAJHF terminal can be used for normal TV,
cable TV (CATV), a TV game, etc.
1. VHF(75-Ohm) antenna/CAW
When using a 75-Ohm coaxial cable system,
disconnect the VHF adaptor from the VHF 75-Ohm
receptacle and connect the outdoor antenna or
CATVcable to a VHF 75-Ohm receptacle.

TIPS ON REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS
The S-Video connection is provided for high pedormance laserdisc players, VCRs etc., that have this feature. Use
this connection in place of the standard video connection ifyour device has this feature.
If your device has only one audio output (mono sound), connect it to the left audio jack on the TV.
Refer to the operating guide of your other electronic equipment for additional information on connecting your hookup
cables.
A single VCR can be used for VCR #1 and VCR #2, but note that a VCR cannot read its own video or line output
(INPUT: 1 in the example on page 15). Refer to your VCR operating guide for more information on line input-output
