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.

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.

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

S-Video (Super Video) 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.

This connector is used on camcorders, VCRs, and laserdisc

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/CATV (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

cable TV system, connect the coaxial cable to the ANT

B terminal.

3. When both VHF and UHF antennas are connected

Attach an optional ANTENNA MIXER to the TV

antenna terminal and connect the cables to the

connect outdoor (VHF or UHF) antenna leads to these

screws of a (VHF of UHF) adaptor.

The Picture-in-Picture feature is convenient when you want to watch more than one program at the same time. You can watch a

TV program while viewing other programs from the antenna source or any of the video inputs.

Your HITACHI Color TV incorporates Dual Tuner technology designed for improved viewing enjoyment. This Dual Tuner feature

allows you to view antenna inputs on both the main picture and Sub-Picture simultaneously, with separate tuning control for each.

The Dual Tuner can operate with only one input (ANT A only) or two inputs (ANT A and ANT B).

ANT A input can be viewed as the main picture and as the Sub-Picture. ANT B can only ve viewed as a main picture. To select

between main picture and PIP Sub-Picture while tuning, press PIP CH button on the remote. The gray background will move with

every press of the PIP CH button. When the gray background is on the top channel display, channel tuning is for the main picture.

When the gray background is on the lower channel display, channel tuning is for the Sub-Picture. This method of picture tuning is

the same for one antenna input (ANT A only) and two antenna inputs (ANT A and ANT B).

32/36GX01B models:

Do not incorporate Dual Tuner technology.

CARE OF YOUR HITACHI COLOR TV

AND YOUR REMOTE CONTROL

MOI!

ME!

Make sure the TV set is turned OFF when cleaning the TV set.

Dust the screen and cabinet with a soft cloth.

Clean the screen with a soft cloth moistened in warm water and dry with a soft cloth. A mild soap may be

used if the screen is extremely dirty.

Place your television away from extreme heat, humidity, and extremely dusty places.

Remove the plug from the wall outlet if your television will not be used for a long period of time, for instances,

when you go on vacation.

DO NOT

Do not clean your screen or cabinet with strong cleaners, polishes or a chemically treated cloth.

Do not place rubber or vinyl products or cellophane tape on your television.

Do not touch the screen too often.

Do not subject the remote control to shocks such as dropping it on the floor, etc. Physical damage to the precision

parts may result.

Avoid placing the remote control in a high humidity place or getting it wet. Do not leave it on or near a heater.

Excessive heat or moisture may cause the unit to cease operation.

When the batteries run down, remote control operation will become erratic or possibly stop altogether. Replace

the old batteries with two new AA size batteries.

MOI!

ME!

RECEPTION PROBLEMS

¥ IGNITION NOISE:

Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, picture may flutter or drift.

Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon

lamps, electrical drills, and other electrical appliances.

¥ GHOSTS:

Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the

direct path and the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills or some other

objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve

reception. Ghosting may also be caused by defects in the antenna system

such as unshielded leads or connecting several sets to the same antenna

without using multiple antenna couplers.

¥ SNOW:

If your receiver is located in the fringe area of a television station where

the signal is weak, your picture may be marred by the appearance of small

dots. When the signal is extremely weak, it may be necessary to install a

special antenna to improve the picture.

¥ RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE:

The interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks, and in

some cases, causes loss of contrast in the picture.

NOTE:

The TV set can generate sound distortion in external devices such as a radio. Please separate radio equipment from

the TV set to a considerable distance.
