HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW HITACHI PROJECTION TV - 11 -
ANTENNA
Unless your TV is connected to a cable TV system or to a centralized antenna system, a good
outdoor color TV 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 where sunlight or bright indoor illumination will not fall directly on the picture
screen. Also, be sure that the location selected allows free flow of air to and from the perforated
back cover of the set.
To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and increased chance of set failure, do not
place the TV where temperatures can become excessively hot. For example, in direct sunlight
or near a heating appliance, etc.
VIEWING
The major benefit of the HITACHI Projection Television is its large viewing screen. To see this
large screen at its best, test various locations in the room to find the best spot for viewing. The
drawings give several suggestions.
The best picture is seen by sitting directly in front of the TV and about 10 to 18 feet from the
screen. Picture brightness decreases as the viewer moves to the left or right of the receiver.
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 TV can be located in a different section of
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 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 4 feet from the side of the TV. 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 TV picture to
