Things to consider before you connect
Protect components from overheating
•Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the components or the fan on the back of this product.Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely.
•Don’t stack components.
•When you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.
•If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf.
Position cables properly to avoid audio interference
•Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.
•If you place components above the TV, route all cables down the side of the back of the TV instead of straight down the middle of the back of the TV.
