8 Chapter 1
Things to Consider Before You Connect
Protect Against Power Surges
• Connect all 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 device(s) before you connect or disconnect any cables.
• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safety
Instructions sheet packed with your TV.
Protect Devices from Overheating
• Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the devices. Arrange the devices so that air can
circulate freely.
• Don’t stack devices.
• If you place devices in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.
• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifi er, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from
it won’t fl ow around other devices.
Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference
Insert each cable fi rmly into the designated jack.
Use Indirect Light
Don’t place the TV where sunlight or room lighting will be directed toward the screen. Use soft
or indirect lighting.
