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.

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 TV picture to
