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. First time use 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. 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. When using your LCD Rear PTV against a wall, keep it at least 10cm (4 inches) from the wall. NOTE: Your new HDTV has a built-in high definition television signal processor. This television includes a fan to cool the processor. The sound of moving air from the fan is normal and may be noticeable in very quiet environments. VIEWING The major benefit of the HITACHI LCD Rear PTV 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. 3' BEST VERTICAL VIEWING ANGLE 20 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. 0' 5' 10' 15' 20' R 20' 4" Minimum 50 BEST HORIZONTAL S 5' 50 10' 15' 20' VIEWING ANGLE 4" Minimum L S IMPORTANT NOTES: 1. Since LCD Rear PTV incorporates a high pressure lamp to display an image, it may take about one minute for the picture to become stable, after the power has been turned on. After extended use, the picture may darken, the color may look unusual, or the lamp "goes out," (burns out). You may hear a "pop" sound when the lamp "goes out." These are common characteristics of the lamp, and should not be considered defective. 2. LCD Rear PTV incorporates an advanced cooling fan system to prevent from overheating. If you hear the cooling fan, it should not be considered defective. 3. If you hear a "cracking" sound from the TV cabinet, it is due to the TV's cabinet expanding and contracting due to room temperature changes. It has no effect on the TV's functions. 4. The LCD Rear PTV cabinet is constructed with wood and plastic. Make sure to place it on a flat surface. An uneven surface might warp the cabinet and reduce the picture quality. 5 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 that sell audio/video products. Below are illustrations and names of common connectors. Before purchasing any cables, be sure of the output and input connector types required by the various components and the length of each cable. 300-Ohm Twin Lead Cable This outdoor antenna cable must be connected to an antenna adapter (300-Ohm to 75-Ohm). Phono Cable Used on all standard video and audio cables which connect to inputs and outputs located on the television's rear jack panel and front control panel. "F" Type 75-Ohm Coaxial Antenna Cable For connecting RF signals (antenna or cable TV) to the antenna jack on the television. S-Video (Super Video) Cable This connector is used on camcorders, VCRs and laserdisc players with an S-Video feature in place of the standard video cable to produce a high quality picture. Optical Cable This cable is used to connect to an audio amplifier with an Optical Audio In jack. Use this cable for the best sound quality. HDMI Cable This cable is used to connect your external devices such as Set-Top-Boxes or DVD players equipped with an HDMI output connection to the TV's HDMI input. ANTENNA CONNECTIONS TO REAR JACK PANEL VHF (75-Ohm) antenna/CATV (Cable TV) When using a 75-Ohm coaxial cable system, connect CATV coaxial cable to the AIR/CABLE (75-Ohm) terminal. Or if you have an antenna, connect the coaxial cable to the same AIR/CABLE terminal.
