Pre-connection Recommendations

Positioning the TV

Before connecting accessory devices—VCR, DVD player, or HD satellite receiver, for exam- ple—please keep the following in mind:

•Place the TV on a flat surface. An unlevel sur- face may adversely affect picture perform- ance.

•Do not place the TV on shag carpet or any surface that will block the ventilation open- ings at the bottom of the set. Blockage will cause the TV to overheat and shut down.

•Allow 4 to 6 inches of space behind the TV for ventilation.

•An optional swivel and an optional stand are available for use with your TV. See your elec- tronics dealer.

•Test various locations in the room to find the optimal spot to locate the set for best viewing.

•Do not place the TV in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance.

•Do not expose the TV to rain or moisture.

•To prevent any unsafe situations, do not place objects on top of the TV.

For safety, do not set objects on top of the TV.

Place the TV on a flat surface.

Situate the TV where it will not be exposed to heat or moisture.

Allow 4 to 6 inch- es behind the TV for ventilation.

Providing Protection Against Power Surges

•Connect all accessory devices before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet or power strip. NEVER plug your TV into an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch.

•Turn off the TV and/or accessory devices before you connect or disconnect any cables.

•Ensure that all antennas and cables are prop- erly grounded. See page 3, “Important Safety Instructions.”

Protecting Accessory Devices from Overheating

•Arrange accessory devices so that air can cir- culate freely around them.

•Don’t stack the accessory devices. Arrange them to allow for good ventilation. The optional Philips stand provides enough room for two accessory devices, side by side.

•If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from it will not flow around other components.

Connecting Cables

Be sure to insert each cable firmly into the cor- rect jack.
