Allow 4 to 6 inch-
es behind the TV
for ventilation.
Situate the TV where
it will not be exposed
to heat or moisture.
For safety, do not
set objects on top
of the TV.
Before connecting accessory devices—VCR,
DVD player, or HD satellite receiver, for exam-
ple—please keep the following in mind.
Positioning the TV
• Allow 4 to 6 inches of space behind the TV
for ventilation.
• Test various locations in the room to find the
optimal spot to locate the set for best viewing.
• Do not place the TV in direct sunlight or near
a heating appliance.
• Do not expose the TV to rain or moisture.
• To prevent any unsafe situations, do not place
objects on top of the TV.
Providing Protection Against Power
Surges
• Connect all accessory devices before you
plug any of their power cords into the wall
outlet or power strip. NEVER plug your TV
into an outlet that is controlled by a wall
switch.
• Turn off the TV and/or accessory devices
before you connect or disconnect any cables.
• Ensure that all antennas and cables are prop-
erly grounded. See page 3, “Important Safety
Instructions.”
Protecting Accessory Devices from
Overheating
• Arrange accessory devices so that air can cir-
culate freely around them.
• Don’t stack the accessory devices. Arrange
them to allow for good ventilation.
• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier,
place it on the top shelf so the heated air from
it will not flow around other components.
Connecting Cables
Be sure to insert each cable firmly into the cor-
rect jack.
