HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW HITACHI LCD REAR PTV
5
ANTENNA
Unless y
our LCD Rear PTV 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
m
ultiple image ghosts, an indoor antenna may be sufficient.
LOCA
TION
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.
When installing your LCD Rear PTV against a wall, keep it at least 10 cm (4 inches) from the wall.
VIEWING
The major benefit of the HITACHI LCD Rear PTV is its large viewing screen. To see this large screen at its best, test various locations
in the room to find the optim
um 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.
FIRST TIME USE
IMPOR
T
ANT NO
TES:
1. Since LCD Rear PTV incorporates a high pressure lamp to display an image, it may take about one minute for the picture to
become stable, after the power has been turned on. After extended use, the picture may darken, the color may look unusual,
or the lamp “goes out,” (burns out). You may hear a “pop” sound when the lamp “goes out.” These are common
characteristics of the lamp, and should not be considered defective.
2. LCD Rear PTV incor
por
ates an adv
anced cooling fan system to prevent from overheating. If you hear the cooling fan, it should
not be considered def
ective.
3. If you hear a “cracking” sound from the TV cabinet, it is due to the TV’s cabinet expanding and contracting due to room
temperature changes
.
It has no eff
ect on the
TV’
s functions
.
4. The LCD Rear PTV cabinet is constr
ucted with all plastic.
Mak
e sure to place it on a flat surf
ace. An uneven surface might
warp the cabinet and reduce the picture quality.
