SAFETY TIPS
PROTL:CTION AND LOCATION OF YOUR SET
16-1 If an outside antenna is connected to the televi-
sion 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
the National Elestrical Code, NFPA No. 70-1975,
provides information with respect to proper
!;]rounding of the mast and supporting structure,

tion 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 CATV reception)
This reminder is provided to call the CATV sys-
tem installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the
NEC that provides guidelines for proper ground-
ing and, in particular, specifies that the cable
ground shall be connected to the grounding sys-
tem of the building, as close to the point of cable
entry as practical.
An outside antenna system should not be located
in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other
electrical lights or power circuits, or where it can
fall into such power lines or circuits. When
installing an outside antenna system, extreme
care should be taken to keep from touching such
power lines or circuifs as contact with them might
be fatal.
For added protection for this television set during
a lightning storm, orwhen it Is left unattended and
unused for long pedods of time, unplug it from the
wall outlet and disconnect the antenna. This will
prevent damage due to lightning and power-line
surges.

HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW HITACHI COLOR TV
ANTENNA
Unless your _ isconnected to a cable _ system or to a centralized antenna system, a good outdoor color _ antenna
is recommended for the 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 wheresunlightor bright indoorillumination willnotfall directly on the picture screen. Also, be surethat
the location selectedallowsa free flow ofairtoand from thecoveroftheset.
To avoidcabinetwarping, cabinetcolor changes, and increasedchance of set failure, do not place the TV where
temperaturescanbecomeexcessivelyhot. Forexample,in direct sunlightor near a heatingappliance,etc.
VIEWING
The major benefit of the HITACHI Color Television is its
viewing screen. To see this screen at its best, test various
locations in the room to find the best spot for viewing. The
drawiings give several suggestions.
The l-)estpicture is seen by sittingdirectly infront of the
and about 3 to 6 feet from the screen.
Dudng daylighthours, reflectionsfrom outsidelight may
appear on the screen. Ifso, drapesor screenscan be
usedto reducethe reflectionor theTV canbe locatedin

HOOK-UP CABLES AND CONNECTORS
Most audio/video 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 purchased
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 adaptor (300-Ohm to 75-Ohm).
"F" TYPE 75-OHM COAXIAL ANTENNA CONNECTOR
For connecting RF signals (antenna or cable I-V) to the
antenna jack on the television.
©
PHONO CONNECTOR
Used on all standard video and audio cables which con-
necttoinputs and outputs located onthe Television's front
and rear jack panels.
S-VIDEO (SUPER VIDEO) CONNECTOR
This connector is used on camcorders, VCR's, 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 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/CAW
When using a 75 ohm coaxial cable system, disconnect
the VHF adaptor from the VHF 75 ohm receptacle and
