STEP 1 : Connecting to a TV

Do not place the unit on amplifiers/receiver or equipment that may become hot. The heat can damage the unit.

Before making any connections we suggest you temporarily disconnect all the units from AC power.

Do not connect video signals through a video recorder. Due to copy guard protection the picture may not be displayed properly.

Refer to page 36, about recommended settings for each piece of connected equipment.
