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 set-top. 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 set-top
Before you connect your set-top to a wall outlet, connect the polarized socket on the power cord
into the plug labeled “POWER INPUT” on your set-top’s rear panel.
Connecting equipment to the AC wall outlets
Connect the polarized plugs on the power cords from your set-top, VCR and any other equipment
into AC wall outlets. If these outlets have switches, switch them to ON.
WARNINGS
Do not connect your set-top (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 set-top from the AC power supply before you disconnect any other equipment from its
rear panel.
The only way to disconnect your set-top 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 set-top 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 set-top.
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.
