ANTENNA

Unless your Plasma Television is connected to a cable TV system or to a centralized antenna system, a good

outdoor color TV antenna 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 perforated back cover of the

set. In order to prevent an internal temperature increase, maintain a space of 10 cm (4 inches) from the sides/back of the television, and 30 cm (12 inches)

from the top of the television to the wall. 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 Plasma Television is its large viewing screen. To see this large screen

at its best, test various locations in the room to find the optimum spot for viewing.

The best picture is seen by sitting directly in front of the TV and about 10 to 18 feet from the screen.

Picture brightness decreases as the viewer moves

to the left and right of the receiver.

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

four 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.
