PositioningtheCables
Prote tyourComponentsfromOverheating
• Do not block ventilation holes in any component.
Arrange the components sothat air can circulate
freely.
• Do not stack components directly on top of each
other.
• Allow adequate ventilation when placing your
components in a stand.
• Race an amplifier near the top shelf of the stand so
heating air rising from it will not affect other compo-
nents. If you have a satellite receiver, you should place
it on the top shelf.
Cables should be positioned correctly to avoid audio
hum or interference. Below are a few suggestions:
• Insert all cable plugs into their jacks firmly.
• Place audio/video cables to the sides of the receiv-
er's back panel instead of straight down the middle
after you have connected the components.
• Try not to coil any power cables and keep them
away from the audio/video cables as much as possible.
• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly
grounded.
