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 "IV 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 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.
VIEWING
The major benefit of the HITACHI Projection Television is
itslarge viewing screen. To see this screen at itsbest, 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 "IV
and about 10 to 18 feet from the screen. Picture bright-
ness decre,_ses as the viewer moves to the left or right of
the receiver.
During daylighthours, reflectionsfrom outsidelight may
appear on the screen. If so, drapes or screenscan be
usedto reducethe reflectionor the TV can be locatedin
a differentsectionof 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 ex-
perimentation with speaker placement for best perfor-
mance.
