CONNECTING TO THE AC POWER SUPPLY
Connecting your TV to the AC power supply
If your TV has a rating of less than 500 W, connect the power cord from your TV into the connector
labeled “POWER OUTLET” on the rear panel of your home terminal. This saves a wall outlet
(although, if your TV is rated 500 W or more, you must connect it to a wall outlet).
Connecting the power cord to your home terminal
Before you connect your home terminal to a wall outlet, connect the polarized socket on the power
cord into the plug labeled “POWER INPUT” on your home terminal’s rear panel.
Connecting equipment to the AC wall outlets
Connect the polarized plugs on the power cords from your home terminal, VCR and any other
equipment into AC wall outlets. If these outlets have switches, switch them to ON.
WARNINGS
Do not connect your home terminal (or any other equipment such as a TV or VCR) to the AC power
supply until you have properly connected all the other cables.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plugs on power cords. A polarized plug has two blades
with one wider than the other. This plug fits into the outlet in only one way; match the wide blade of the
plug to the wide slot of the outlet.
Disconnect your home terminal from the AC power supply before you disconnect any other equipment
from its rear panel.
The only way to disconnect your home terminal from the AC power supply is to remove the AC power
cord (or switch the wall socket-outlet switch, if present, to its OFF position). Your home terminal must
therefore be installed near to the AC power socket-outlet, which should be easily accessible.
NOTE
On pages 11 and 12 there are two
typical connection set-ups for an
HDTV, VCR, DVD player and home
theater receiver.
These set-ups make efficient use of
the connectors on your home
terminal. However, depending on
your other equipment and the
connectors on it, the person who
installed your system may have
chosen to connect things up
differently.
