HOOKING UP THE TV

BEST VIEWING

The major benefit of this projection television is its large view-

ing screen. To see this large screen at its best, test various locations in the room to find the optimal spot for viewing.

NOTE: Be sure to allow a free flow of air to and from the perfo- rated 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.

Magnetic fields, such as those of external speak- ers, may cause the picture to distort if the speak- ers are placed too close to the television. Move the magnetic field source away from the TV until there is no picture distortion.

Additionally, the monitor often includes multiple HDMI inputs, allowing users to connect various devices such as streaming boxes, gaming consoles, and Blu-ray players seamlessly.

User-friendly functionalities are also a hallmark of the Magnavox experience. The monitor typically comes equipped with an intuitive remote control, which provides easy access to settings, channels, and inputs. The inclusion of features like Picture-in-Picture allows users to multitask by watching two programs simultaneously, enhancing the overall utility of the monitor.

In summary, the Magnavox Rear-Projection HDTV Monitor stands as a formidable choice in the competitive high-definition market.
