Things to Consider Before You Connect
Protect Against Power Surges
,, Connect all devices b_'fore you p]ug any of th_'ir l)Ow¢'r cords into th<' wall outk't or l)OX\-_T
strip. NEVER p]ug your TV into an outlet that is control]ed by a wa]] switch.
,, Turn <)ftthe T\..' and/or device(s) before you connect or disconnect any canes.
,, Make sure all antennas and canes are properly grounded. Re_br to the Important Saf_'ty
Instructions at the beginning of the User's Guide.
Protect Devices from Overheating
', I)on't block ventilation holes on any of the clcvic'cs. Arrange, the <lcviccs so that air can
circulate freely.
,, I)on't stack devices.
,, If you place devices in a stand, make sure you allow aclequate ventilation.
• If you connect an audio receiver or a,np]ifler, place it on the top shelf so the heate(I air
from it won't flow around other devices.
Position Cables Property to Avoid Audio interference
• Insert each c'ab]c firmly into the designated jack.
,, If you place devices above the T\", route all cables clown the side of the back of the T\"
instead of straight down the midcl]e.
• If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead canes, do not coil the canes. Also, keep the twin
lead cables away from audio/video cables.
Use indirect Light
Don't p]acc the TV where sun]ight or room lighting wJl] be directed towald the screen. Use so_
or indirect lighting.
Check Supplied Parts
Check that the fo]]owing pairs were packed with yotu product.
