Things to Know BeforeConnecting Components

Protect Your Components from Power Surges

• Connect all components before plugging any power cords
into the wall outlet.
• Always turn off the DSS® receiver, TV and other
components before you connect or disconnect any cables.

Position Cables Correctly to Avoid Audio Hum or

Interference

• Insert all cable plugs firmly into their jacks.
• Place the audio/video cables to the sides of the TV’s back
panel instead of straight down the middle after you
connect your components.
• Try not to coil any twin-lead 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 unit.

Protect Your Components from Overheating

• Do not block ventilation holes in any of the components.
Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely.
• Do not stack components.
• Allow adequate ventilation when placing your
components in a stand.
• Place an amplifier or DSS® receiver on the top shelf of the
stand so heated air rising from it will not flow around
other components.
