PICTURE CAUTIONS
PICTURE CAUTIONS
When using TV games, computers and similar products with your TV, keep the
CONTRAST and BRIGHTNESS functions at low settings. If a fixed (non-moving)
pattern is left on the screen for long periods of time at a high CONTRAST or
BRIGHTNESS setting, the image can be permanently imprinted onto the screen. These
types of imprints are not covered by your warranty because they are the result of
misuse.
This projection television receiver was intended mainly for the private viewing of
programs broadcast by TV stations and cable companies and programs from other
video sources. Public viewing may require prior authorization from the broadcaster or
owner of the video program.
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 receiver'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
