Before Initial Setup

Protect Against Power Surges

Connect all components before you plug any 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 before you connect or disconnect any cables.

Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safety Instructions.

Safety Information

Protect components from overheating.

Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely.

Don’t stack components.

If you place the component in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.

If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from it won’t harm other components.

Avoid Audio Interference

Position cables properly; insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.

If you place components above the TV, route all cables down one side of the back of the TV instead of straight down the middle.

If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables.

Keep twin lead cables away from audio/video cables.

Avoid Direct Light

Don’t place the TV where sunlight or room lighting is directed toward the screen. Use soft or indirect lighting.
