Things to Know Before
Connecting 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.
