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.
