Before You Begin
NOTE!
The clear protective film on the DCP501 display must be removed and transferred to the inside back cover of your
DCP501 Home Theater System User Guide. The Unit Address and Serial Number found on the protective film is
required for activation of your DCP501 cable TV receiver by your cable TV service provider.
Before you begin, review the installation instructions, gather the required items, and complete
the tasks listed below:
Place the DCP501 on a dry, smooth, flat surface and remove any obstructions that could
interfere with the free flow of air over, under, or around it. Do not place anything on top of
the unit.
Disconnect power connections to all components before making any connections.
Do not disconnect the cable connection between the RF In and To RF In ports. Removal of this
cable could disrupt operation of the DCP501.
WARNING!
To avoid damaging the DCP501, do not use the cable connection between the RF In and To RF ports as a handle.
