Things to Consider Before You Connect
Protect Against Power Surges
* Connect all components before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet.
*Turn off theTVand/or component before you connect or disconnect any cables.
® Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safety Instructions
packed separatd_L
Protect Components from Overheating
® Don't block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can
circulate freely.
Don't stack components.
If you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.
® If you connect an audio recdver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from it won't
flow around other components.
Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference
*Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.
*If you place components above the TV, route all cables down the side of the bad< of the TVinstead
of straight down the middle of the TV.
® Ifyoul antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the twin lead
cables away from audio/video cables.
Important Stand and Base Safety Information
