HUW TO SET UP YOUR NEW HITACHI COLOR TV
ANTENNA
Unless your TV is connected to a cable TV system or to a centralized antenna system, a good outdoor color TV anten-
na is recommended
for 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 back cover of the set.
To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and increased chance of set failure, do not place the TV where tem-
peratures can become excessively hot. For example, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance, etc.
VIEWING
The major benefit of the HITACHI ColorTelevision is its large viewingscreen. To see this screen at its best, test vari-
ous locationsin the roomto find the bestspot for viewing.The drawingsgiveseveralsuggestions.
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.
