Things to Know When Connecting Components
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
Protect your components from
overheating
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 TV.
• 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 wiU not flow around other components.
Protect your picture tube
Keep the brightness and contrast functions at low settings when
using TV games, computers, and similar products with your TV. If a
fix (non-moving) pattern is left on the screen for long periods of time
at a high brightness or contrast setting, the image can be permanently
imprinted onto the screen. These types of imprints are not covered
by your warranty because they are the result of misuse.
