REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY INSTALLATION

AND REPLACEMENT

1. Open the battery cover of the remotecontrol by push-

ingthe notched part of the cover withyour fingers.

2. Insert two new =AA" size batteries in the remote.

When replacing old batteries, push them towards the

springs and liftthem out.

3. Match the batteries to the (+) and (-) marks in the

battery compartment.

4. Replace the cover.

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

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

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

for the location of video and audio inputs and outputs.

The following connection diagrams are offered as suggestions. However, you may need to modify them to accom-

modate your particular assortment of components and features. For best performance, video and audio cables should

be made from coaxial shielded wire.
