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.
Turn off the TV and/or device before you connect or disconnect any cables.
Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safety
Instructions on page 1.
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 amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from it
won’t flow around other devices.
Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference
Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.
If you place devices above the TV, route all cables down the side of the back of the TV
instead of straight down the middle 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.
Use Indirect Light
Don’t place the TV where sunlight or room lighting will be directed toward the screen. Use soft or
indirect lighting.
