Setup and Connections
Cautions:
Position cables to avoid audio hum
or interference
• Insert all cables firmly into jacks.
• Place the audio/video cables to the
sides of the TV’s back panel instead of
straight down the middle.
• Try not to coil any twin-lead cables and
keep them away from the audio/video
cables.
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.
