be discovered in your model of product.

FOR YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY

This television set is equipped with a poladzed

altemating-currant line plug (a plug having one

blade wider than the other). This plug will fit Into

the power outlet only one way. This is s safety

feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully

into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug

should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to

replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the

safety purpose of the polarized plug.

When the power cord or plug is damaged or

frayed, unplug this television set from the wall

outlet and refer servicing to qualified service

personnel.

3 Do not ovedoed wall outlets and extension cords

as this can result in fire or elaotdc shock.

Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the

power cord, and de not place the TV where the

power cord is subject to traffic or abuse. This

may result in a shock or fire hazard.

Do not attempt to service this television sst your-

serf as opening or removing covers may expose

you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer

all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Never push objects of any kind into this television

set through cabinet slots as they may touch

dangerous voltage points or short out parts that

could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill

liquid of any kind on the television set.

_9

cart, stand, or table. The television set may fall,

causing sedous injury to a child or an adult, and

serious damage to the appliance. Use only with

a cart or stand recommended by the manufac-

turer, or sold with the television set. Wall or shelf

mounting should follow the manufacturer's in-

structions, and should use a mounting kit ap-

proved by the manufacturer.

An appliance and cart combination should be

moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force,

and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance

and cart combination to overturn.

does not shine directly on the screen.

14 Avoid dusty places, since accumulated dust in-

side the chassis may cause failure of the set when

high humidity persists.

15

The set has slots, or openings in the cabinet for

ventilation purposes, to provide reliable opera-

tion of the receiver, and to protect from overheat-

ing. These openings must not be blocked or

covered.

unless proper ventilation is provided.

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,

grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna dis-

charge unit, size of grounding conductors, loca-

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

connect the outdoor antenna or CATV cable to a VHF

75 ohm receptacle.
