Things To Consider Before You Connect
Components
Protect Your Components from Power Surges
• Connect all components before plugging any power cords into the wall outlet.
• Always turn off the digital satellite 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 (A/V) 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 A/V 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. Remove any sales or promotional materials attached to the
product.
• Do not stack components.
• Allow adequate ventilation when placing components in a stand.
• Place an amplifier or receiver on the top shelf of the stand so heated air rising from it will not
flow around other components.
