SAFETY TIPS
PROTECTION AND LOCATION OF YOUR SET
16-1. If an outside antenna is connected to the television set, be sure the
antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built up static charges, Section 810 of
t;le National Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70-1975, provides informa-
tion with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporl_ng
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.

Note to CATV system Installer:.
(Only for the television set with CA'rV reception)
This reminder is provided to call CATV system
installers attention to Article 82040 of the NEC
that provides guidelines for proper grounding
and, in partioular, specifies that the cable ground
shell be connected to the grounding system of
the building, as close to the point of cable entry
as practical.
17.

HOW TO SET UPYOUR NEW HITACHI PROJECTION TV
ANTENNA
Unless yourTV is connectedto a cable TV system or to a centralized antennasystem, a good outdoorcolor TV anten-
na 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 sunlightor bright indoor illuminationwillnotfall directlyon the picturescreen. Also, be sure that
the locationselected allows a free flow of air to and from the perforatedback coverof the set.
To avoidcabinet warping, cabinet colorchanges, and increased chanceof setfailure, do not place theTV where tem-
peraturescan become excessively hot. For example, in directsunlightor near a heatingappliance, etc.
VIEWING
The majorbenefit ofthe HITACHI ProjectionTelevisionis itslarge viewingscreen. Tosee thislarge screen at itsbest,
test variouslocationsin the room to findthe best spotforviewing. The drawingsgive several suggestions.
The best picture is seen by sittingdirectly in front ofthe TV and about 10 to 18 feet from the screen. Picture bright-
ness decreases as the viewer moves to the left and rightof the receiver.
Duringdaylighthours,reflectionsfrom outside light may appear on the screen. Ifso, drapes or screens can be used
to reducethe reflection or the TV can be located in a differentsectionof the room.
If the 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 receivercabinet and as close as possibleto the
height of the picturescreen center. For best stereo separation, place the external speakers at least 4 feet from the
side of the TV, place the surround speakers to the side or behindthe viewing area. Differences in room sizes and
acousticalenvironments will require some experimentationwithspeaker placement for best performance.

4' MINIMUM
AUTION:
I
The magnetic field of external speakers may cause the pictureto distortif the speakers are I
placed too close to the television. Move the speakers away from the TV untilthere is no
I
picturedistortion.
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 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 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 connectingRF signals (antenna orcable TV) to the
antenna jack onthe television.
Phono Connector
Used on allstandard video and audiocableswhich con-
nect to inputs and outputs located on the Television's
rear jack panel and front control panel.
S-Video (Super Video) Connector
This connectoris usedoncamcorders, VCR's and laser
disc players with an S-Video feature in place of the
standardvideo cable to produce a high qualitypicture.
ANTENNA CONNECTIONS TO REAR JACK PANEL
VHF (75-Ohm) antenna/CAW (cable TV)
When using a 75-Ohm coaxial cable system, connect
the outdoor antenna or CATV coaxial cable to the ANT
A (75 Ohm) terminal. If you have a second antenna or
cableTV system, connect the coaxial cableto the ANT
B terminal.
VHF (300-Ohm) antenna/UHF antenna
When using a 300-Ohm twin lead from an outdoor
antenna, connect the VHF or UHF antenna leads to
screws of the VHF or UHF adapter. Plug the adapter
intothe antenna terminal on the TV.
i
When both VHF and UHF antennas are connected
Attach an optionalantenna cable mixerto theTV anten-
na terminal, and connect the cables to the antenna
