HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW HITACHI PROJECTION TV
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.
NOTE: 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.
