Things to Consider Before Connecting Components

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 TVÕs 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.
