Things to Know Before
Connecting Components
Protect Your Components from Power
Surges
• Connect all components before plugging any
power cords into the wall outlet.
• Always turn off the TV and other components
before you connect or disconnect any cables.
Position Cables Correctly to Avoid
Audio Hum or Interference
• Insert all cable plugs firmly into their jacks.
• 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.
• Try not to coil any twin-lead cables and keep
them away from the audio/video cables as much
as possible.
• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly
grounded. Refer to the Safety Tips sheet packed
with your unit.
Protect Your Components from
Overheating
• Do not block ventilation holes in any of the
components. Arrange the components so that
air can circulate freely.
• Do not stack components.
• Allow adequate ventilation when placing your
components in a stand.
• 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.
