If desired you may want to customise your TV by adding external surround speakers. This TV will accommodate exter-
nal surround speaker systems via external sockets on the rear of the TV. The addition of external surround speakers
will enhance your viewing and listening pleasure even further, and we strongly recommend you purchase HITACHI sys-
tems to compliment your HITACHI TV (contact your dealer for advice). The illustrations (below) will guide you on the
correct installation and settings for external surround speaker set-ups.If you decide to purchase additional amplifiers
and speakers then please follow these simple guidelines listed below:
1. If you have purchased just 2 amplifiers and speakers then these are best installed as rear surround speakers, as
the TV will use its own internal speakers to create the front left, right and centre channels.
2. Please ensure that you purchase and install the correct rated range of amplifier and speaker for the TV - (front-
centre speakers 10 Watt or greater) and (rear surround 5 Watt or greater). Your HITACHI dealer can advise you on
the correct amplifier and speaker choice for your TV.
OPTION 1
The TV uses internal speakers to provide left and right channels,
and also creates its own centre channel. The rear surround
speakers enhance your listening pleasure.
Wherever possible, locate surround speakers
at or just above head height for best results.
