3. Guidelines on Installing the Mirror TV

Before installing the Mirror TV, the following considerations should be taken into account to
ensure that the best viewing experience is achieved.
Avoidance of Reflections
Aside from selecting an aesthetically pleasing location for the set, avoidance of reflections from
bright light sources (such as windows or light fittings) in the mirror in the viewing direction is
very important when the TV is being viewed. In this regard, the location of both the viewer and
the viewing direction are important when deciding where to place a MiraVision set in a room.
Reflection of bright background light sources should also be avoided when the MiraVision set is
used as a mirror. For mirror purposes, it is recommended to place light sources (such as table-
top lamps) to the side of the MiraVision set, thereby lighting the subject that is being reflected
by the mirror.
Audio Requirements
MiraVision sets have mounted on loudspeakers located at the rear of the set.
Depending on the location of the MiraVision set in a room, it may prove worthwhile to
consider the use of external loudspeakers. These can be connected to the MiraVision set via
the speaker terminals at the rear. External speakers can be used when mounting circumstances
restrict the sound output of the onboard speakers (example, when mounting the MiraVision in-
wall).
Refer to the section External Speaker Connectors in this document for more information on the
use of the external loudspeakers.

The Mirror TV is designed to be flexible and allow customers to change the decorative frame
according to their tastes. Before replacing the standard decorative frame with a custom frame,
