Pre-connection Recommendations
Positioning the TV
Before connecting accessory devices—VCR,
DVD player, or HD satellite receiver, for exam-
ple—please keep the following in mind:
• Place the TV on a flat surface. An unlevel sur-
face may adversely affect picture perform-
ance.
• Do not place the TV on shag carpet or any
surface that will block the ventilation open-
ings at the bottom of the set. Blockage will
cause the TV to overheat and shut down.
• Allow 4 to 6 inches of space behind the TV
for ventilation.
• An optional swivel and an optional stand are
available for use with your TV. See your elec-
tronics dealer.
• Test various locations in the room to find the
optimal spot to locate the set for best viewing.
• Do not place the TV in direct sunlight or near
a heating appliance.
• Do not expose the TV to rain or moisture.
• To prevent any unsafe situations, do not place
objects on top of the TV.
Providing Protection Against Power
Surges
• Connect all accessory devices before you
plug any of their power cords into the wall
outlet or power strip. NEVER plug your TV
into an outlet that is controlled by a wall
switch.
• Turn off the TV and/or accessory devices
before you connect or disconnect any cables.
• Ensure that all antennas and cables are prop-
erly grounded. See page 3, “Important Safety
Instructions.”
Protecting Accessory Devices from
Overheating
• Arrange accessory devices so that air can cir-
culate freely around them.
• Don’t stack the accessory devices. Arrange
them to allow for good ventilation. The
optional Philips stand provides enough room
for two accessory devices, side by side.
• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier,
place it on the top shelf so the heated air from
it will not flow around other components.
Connecting Cables
Be sure to insert each cable firmly into the cor-
rect jack.
