Thinqs to Consider Before You Connect
Protect Against Power Surges
o Cormect all components before you plug any of their power cords into the ,wall outlet.
o Turn off the TV and/or components before you cormect or disconnect any cables.
o Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safeguards sheet
packed with your DVD/VCR.
Protect Components from Overheating
o Don't block ventilation holes on any of the componerlts. Arrange the components so that air can
cheulate fl'eely,
o Don't stack components.
o When you place components [n a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.
o If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place [t on the top shelf so the heated ah from [t
won't flow around other components.
Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio mnterference
o Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.
o If you place components above the TV, route all cables down the side of the back of the W instead
of straight down the middle of the back of the TV.
o If,/our antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the twin lead
cables away from audio/video cables.
Connection Pictures
Audio/video cables are usually bundled together. Fm better visibility, the connection pictures in this
book show each cable separately (audio left, audio right, and video).
