THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE
CONNECTING COMPONENTS
Protect Your Components from Power Surges
• Connect all components before plugging any power
cords into the wall outlet.
• Always turn off the 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 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 audio/video 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.
• Do not stack components.
• Allow adequate ventilation when placing your
components in a stand.
• Place an amplifier or satellite receiver on the top shelf of
the stand so heated air rising from it will not flow
around other components.
