Positioning the Cables
Cables should be positioned correctly to avoid audio hum or interference. Below are a few suggestions:
•Insert all cable plugs into their jacks firmly.
•Place audio/video cables to the sides of the receiv- er’s back panel instead of straight down the middle after you have connected 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.
Protect your Components from Overheating | EN |
•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 affect other compo- nents. If you have a satellite receiver, you should place it on the top shelf.
