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 distort if the speakers are placed too close to the television. Move the speakers
away from the 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. Also make sure the cables are the correct length.
