BEFORE YOU CONNECT..
CONNECTING THE CABLES
Protect components from power
surges.
Connect all components before
plugging power cords into the wall
outlet.
Always turns off the receiver and/or
components before you connect or
disconnect any cables.
Always make sure the color-coded
plugs match the color of the terminals
in which they are inserted.
The connection cable plugs and jacks
are colorcoded as follows:
Speaker Terminals Red for positive
(+) terminals. Black for negative (-)
terminals.
Some units may be supplied with
connection plugs that are color-coded
red and black instead of red and
white. In this case, the black plug takes
the place of the white plug.
POSITION CABLES CORRECTLY TO
AVOID AUDIO HUM OR INTER-
FERENCE
Insert all cable plugs firmly into their
jacks.
Place audio/video cables to the sides of
the receiver’s back panel instead of
straight down the middle after you
connect the components.
Try not to coil any power 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 receiver.
PROTECT YOUR COMPONENTS FROM
OVERHEATING
Do not block ventilation holes in any
component. Arrange the components
so that air can circulate freely.
Do not stack components directly on
top of each other.
Allow adequate ventilation when
placing your components in astand.
place an amplifier near the top shelf
of the stand so heating air rising from
it will not flow around other
components. If you have asatellite
receiver, you should place it on the top
shelf.
