Things to Know Before Connecting
Components
Protect Your Components from Power Surges
•
Connect all components before plugging any power cords into the
wall outlet.
•
Always turn off the digital receiver, TV and other components
before you connect or disconnect any cables.
Position Cables Correctly to Avoid Audio Hum or
Interference
•
Insert all cable plugs firmly into their jacks.
•
Place the audio/video cables to the sides of the TV’s back panel
instead of straight down the middle after you connect your
components.
•
Try not to coil any twin-lead cables and keep them away from the
audio/video cables as much as possible.
•
Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to
the Safety Tips sheet packed with your unit.
To receive signals, your digital receiver
must be connected to a digital antenna.
This antenna must be installed by a
certified, professional installer. Do not
attempt to install the digital antenna
yourself.
