Things to Consider Before Connecting Components
Protect 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 to Avoid Audio Hum or Interference
• Insert all cable plugs firmly into their jacks.
• Place any Audio/Video (A/V) cables to the side(s) of the TV’s back panel instead of straight down the
back after connecting components.
• Try not to coil any twin-lead cables and keep them away from all 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 for detailed information.
Protect Components From Overheating
• Never block ventilation slots in any component. Arrange the components so that air can circulate
freely.
• Do not stack components.
• Allow adequate ventilation when placing components in a stand.
• Place an amplifier or other hot component on the top shelf of a stand so heated air rising from it
will not flow around other components.

Connect the cable or antenna RF coaxial cable to the IN FROM ANTENNA jack on your decoder.
Note: To turn off the decoder signal to allow other signals to pass through, press the ANTENNA button on the remote (may or may not be supported) or press the OFF button on the remote to put the decoder into stand-by mode.
