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 the TVand/or component before you connect or disconnect any cables.
• Make sureall antennas and cables areproperly grounded. Refer to the Important Safety Instructions on page I.
Protect Components from Overheating
• Don't block ventitation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely.
• Don't stack components.
• When you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventitation.
• If you connect an audio receiver 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 abovethe W, route all cablesdown the sideof the backof the _Vinstead of straight
down the middle of the W.
• If your antenna uses3OO-ohmtwin lead cables,do not coil the cables.Also, keepthe twin lead cables away from
audio/video cables.
Important Stand and Base Safety Information
Choose the location for your lV carefully. Place the TV on a stand or base that is of adequate size and strength to
prevent the TV from being accidentally tipped over, pushed off, or pulled off. This could cause personal injury and/or
damage the lV. Refer to the Important Safety Instructions on page 1.
