BEFORE YOU CONNECT...

•Protect components from power surges.

•Connect all components before plugging any power cords into the wall outlet.

•Always turn off the receiver and/or components before you connect or disconnect any cables.

•Always make sure the color-coded plugs match the color of the terminals in which they are inserted. The connection cable plugs and jacks are color- coded as follows:

Speaker Terminals Red for positive (+) terminals. Black for negative (-) terminals.

RCA Phono Type Terminals Red for the right (R) channel. White for the left (L) channel.

Yellow for the video (V). Black for the subwoofer. (Not Included)

•Some units may be supplied with connection plugs that are color coded red and black

instead of red and white. In this case, the black plug takes the place of the white plug.

•Contact Consumer Relations if you have questions concerning the connections or components.

POSITION CABLES CORRECTLY TO AVOID AUDIO HUM OR INTERFERENCE

•Insert all cable plugs firmly into their jacks.

•Place audio/video cables to the sides of the receiver’s back panel instead of straight down the middle after you connect the components.

•Try not to coil any power cables and keep them away from the audio/video cables as

much as possible.

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

PROTECT YOUR COMPONENTS FROM OVER- HEATING

•Do not block ventilation holes in any component. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely.

•Do not stack components directly on top of each other.

•Allow adequate ventilation when placing your components in a stand.

•Place an amplifier near the top shelf of the stand so heating air rising from it will not

flow around other components. If you have a satellite receiver, you should place it on

the top shelf.
