Things to Know Before Connecting Cables
Protect your components from power surges
Connect all components before plugging any power cords into the wall outlet.
Always turn off the TV and/or component before you ,connect or disconnect any cables.
Avoid audio hum or interference by positioning cables correctly
,D
Insert all cable plugs firmly into their jacks.
Place the audio/video 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
audio/video cables as much as possible:
Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Safety Tips sheet packed with your 3_.
Protect your components from overheating
• Do not block ventilation holes in any of the components. Arrange
the components so that air can circulate freely.
• Do not stack components.
• Allow adequate ventilation when placing your components in a stand.
Place an amplifier on the top shelf of the stand so heated air rising from it will not flow around other components.
Connect audio/video cables for best
results
