Things to Consider Before Connecting Components

Important Stand and Base Safety Information

Choose the location for your TV carefully. Place the TV on a stand or base that is of adequate size and strength to prevent the TV from being accidentally tipped over, pushed off, or pulled off. This could cause personal injury and or damage the TV. Refer to the Important Safeguards sheet packed with your TV.

Protect 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 to Avoid Audio Hum or Interference

•Insert all cable plugs ﬁrmly into their jacks.

•Place any Audio/Video (A/V) cables to the side(s) of the TV’s back panel instead of straight down the back after connecting components.

•Try not to coil any twin-lead antenna cables and keep them away from all A/V cables as much as possible.

•Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Safety Tips sheet packed with your unit for detailed information.

Protect Components From Overheating

•Never block ventilation slots in any component. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely.

•Do not stack components.

•Allow adequate ventilation when placing components in a stand.

•Place an ampliﬁer or other hot component on the top shelf of a stand so heated air rising from it will not ﬂow around other components.
