Replace the old batteries with new AA types. 2. 3. 4. 5 HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW HITACHI COLOR TV ANTENNA Unless your color TV is connected to a cable TV system or to a centralized antenna system, a good outdoor color TV antenna 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 sunlight or bright indoor illumination will not fall directly on the picture screen. 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 color TV where temperatures can become excessively hot, for example, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance, etc. VIEWING To view the color television screen at its best, test various locations in the room. The drawings below show several suggestions. The best picture is seen by sitting directly in front of the color 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 color TV can be located in a different section of the room. If the color 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 receiver cabinet and as close as possible to the height of the picture screen center. For best stereo separation, place the external speakers at least four feet from the side of the color 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. R 4' MINIMUM 20' S BEST HORIZONTAL 10' 15' 20' 50 20 3' 0' 5' 10' BEST VERTICAL VIEWING ANGLE 8 5' 4' MINIMUM 50 VIEWING ANGLE 15' 20' L S CAUTION: The magnetic field of external speakers may cause the picture to distort if the speakers are placed too close to the color television. Move the speakers away from the color TV until there is no picture distortion. 6 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 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 and the length of each cable. 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. Phono Connector Used on all standard video and audio cables which connect to inputs and outputs located on the television s rear jack panel and front control panel.
