Connecting AV components

• Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed and double-checked all AV connections.
• Push plugs in all the way to make good connections (loose connections can cause noise or
malfunctions).
• To prevent interference, keep audio and video cables away from power cords and speaker cables.
