Before making any AV connections, read the manuals supplied with your AV components.

Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed and double-checked all AV connections.

Push plugs in all the way to make good connections (loose connections can cause noise or malfunc- tions).

To prevent interference, keep audio and video cables away from power cords and speaker cables.
