A Few Pointers
ON THE SELECTION OF A PROPER LOCATION FOR YOUR NEW ZENITH TELEVISION RECEIVER
First to be considered and of primary importance is the selection of a proper location for your receiver. It is recommended that several positions in the-room be tried to determine the one where best reception is obtained with the built-in antenna. If after so doing reception is not satisfactory because of low signal level or other uncontrollable factors, the installation of an outdoor antenna will be necessary. In addition the following requirements should be observed.
Place receiver within easy reach of Antenna lead-in wire and 115 volt 60 cycle A.C. electrical outlet.
Place where sufficient open space is available in front of the receiver for unobstructed, uncrowded viewing. Viewers should not be seated too close to the screen. A distance of from 5 to 10 ft. usually provides maximum eye comfort.
Place where unimpeded cabinet ventilation is allowed. If the receiver is to be placed along a wall allow a few inches for this purpose.
Lastly, but of utmost importance, it is necessary that the receiver cabinet be level so that full benefit of the reflection proof feature be enjoyed. If front legs of receiver base rests on a rug it is suggested that rear legs be elevated to level cabinet.
NOTE: If confronted with a problem or indecision as to choice of the best
location we advise you to follow the counsel of the Zenith television technician who installs your receiver.
