Things to Consider Before You Connect  
Protect Against Pow er Surges  
Connect all components before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet.  
Turn off the TV and/or component before you connect or disconnect any cables.  
Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important  
Safeguards sheet packed with your TV.  
Protect Components from Overheating  
Dont block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that  
air can circulate freely.  
Dont stack components.  
When you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.  
If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air  
from it wont flow around other components.  
Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference  
Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.  
If you place components above the TV, route all cables down the side of the back of the  
TV instead of straight down the middle of the back of the TV.  
If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the twin  
lead cables away from audio/video cables.  
Important Stand and Base Safety Information  
Choose the location for your TV 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 TV.  
Use Indirect Light  
Dont place the TV where sunlight or room lighting will be directed toward the screen. Use soft  
or indirect lighting.
