Chapter 1 Connections and Setup
Things to consider before you connect
Protect components from overheating
• Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the components.Arrange the components so that air
can circulate freely.
• Don’t stack components.
• When you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.
• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf.
Position cables properly to avoid audio interference
• Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.
• If you place components above the TV, route all cables down the side of the back of the TV
instead of straight down the middle of the back of the TV.
• If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables.Also, keep the twin lead
cables away from audio/video cables.
Note: Some discs may not be compatible due to laser pickup and disc design.

2. Insert the batteries (provided), by matching the diagram in the battery compartment to make
