THINGSTO KNOW BEFORE
CONNECTING COMPONENTS
Protect Your Components from Power Surges
l
Connect all components before plugging any power
cords into the wall outlet.
l
Always turn off the TV and other components before
you connect or disconnect any cables.
Position Cables Correctly to Avoid Audio Hum or
Interference
l
Insert all cable plugs firmly into their jacks.
l
Place the audio/video cables to the sides of the TV’s back
panel instead of straight down the middle after you
connect your components.
l
Try not to coil any twin-lead cables and keep them away
from the audio/video cables as much as possible.
l
Make sure all antennas and cables are properly
grounded. Refer to the Safety Tips sheet packed with
your unit.
Protect Your Components from Overheating
l
Do not block ventilation holes in any of the components.
Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely.
l
Do not stack components.
l
Allow adequate ventilation when placing your
components in a stand.
l
Place an amplifier or satellite receiver on the top shelf of
the stand so heated air rising from it will not flow
around other components.
