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 back
panel of the TV 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.
