How to set up your new HITACHI Projection Television
ANTENNA
Unless your TV is connected to a cable TV system or to a centralized antenna system, a good outdoor 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 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.
NOTE: Your new HDTV has a built-in high definition television signal processor. This television includes a fan
to cool the processor. The sound of moving air from the fan is normal and may be noticeable in very
quiet environments.
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
optimum spot for viewing.
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
and 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 four 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: Magnetic fields, such as those of external speakers, may cause the picture to distort if
they are placed too close to the television. Move the magnetic field source away from the television
until there is no picture distortion.
