HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW HITACHI PROJECTION TV
- 10 -
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 6 to 9 feet from
the screen.
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.
