Things to Consider Before ConnectingComponents
Important Stand and Base Safety Information
Choose the location for your TV earefLdly. Place the TV on a stand or base that isof
adequate size and strength to prevent the ]V from being accidentally tipped over, pushed
off, or pulled off. This could cause personal injury and or damage the ]V. Refer to the
Important Safeguards sheet packed with your ]V.
Protect Components From Power Surges
• Connect all components before plugging any power cords into the wall outlet.
• Always turn off the ]V and other components before you connect or disconnect any
cables.
Position Cables to Avoid Audio Hum or Interference
• Insert all cable plugs firmly into their jacks.
• Place any Audio/Video (A/V) cables to the side(s) of the TV's back panel instead of
straight down the back after connecting components.
• Try not to coil any twin-lead antenna cables and keep them away from all A/V cables as
much as possible.
• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Safety Tips sheet
packed with your unit for detailed information.
Protect Components From Overheating
• Never block ventilation slots in any component. Arrange the components so that air
can circulate freely.
• Do not stack components.
• Allow adequate ventilation when placing components in a stand.
• Place an amplifier or other hot component on the top shelf of a stand so heated air
rising from it will not flow around other cornponents.
