HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW HITACHI COLOR TV
HOW 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 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 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 Color Television is its viewing screen. To see this
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 3 to 6 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.
16
HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW HITACHI COLOR TV
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.
17
HOOK-UP CABLES AND CONNECTORS
HOOK-UP CABLES AND CONNECTORS
Most video/audio connections between components can be made with shielded video
and audio cables that have phono connectors. For best performance, video cables
should use 75-Ohm coaxial shielded wire. Cables can be purchased from most stores
