INSTALLATION
Television Location
This unit is intended to be used with an optional stand or entertainment center. Consult your dealer for available options.
Locate for comfortable viewing. Avoid placing where sunlight or other bright light (including reflections) will fall on the
screen. Use of some types of fluorescent lighting may reduce remote control transmitter range.
Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent internal component failure. Keep away from areas of excessive heat or
moisture. To insure optimum color purity, do not position magnetic equipment (motors, fans, other speakers, etc.) nearby.
Optional External Equipment Connections
Audio/Video connections between components can be made with shielded video and audio cables. For best performance,
video cables should utilize 75 ohm coaxial shielded wire. Cables are available from your dealer or electronic supply house.
Use appropriate input and output connectors that match your component connectors, and avoid long cables to minimize
interference.
AC Power Supply Cord
CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT OF
AC OUTLET AND FULLY INSERT. DO NOT USE A PLUG WITH A RECEPTACLE OR OTHER
OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADE CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.
