ANTENNA
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 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
temperatures can become excessively hot, for example, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance, etc.
VIEWING
To view the television screen at its best, test various locations in the room. The drawings below show several
suggestion.
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 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.
