Chapter 1
Connections and Setup
Things to consider before you connect
Protect components from overheating
•
Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so
that air can circulate freely.
•
Don’t stack components.
•
When you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.
•
If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf.
Position cables properly to avoid audio interference
•
Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.
•
If you place components above the TV, route all cables down the side of the back of the
TV instead of straight down the middle of the back of the TV.
•
If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the
twin lead cables away from audio/video cables.
Types of discs your DVD player can play
•
DVD discs – contain high quality picture and
sound content.
•
DVD Audio discs – contain high quality sound
content.
•

only.
•

is the amount of information that can be stored
on the disc.

Important Battery Information
•
If you’re not going to use the remote for a month or more, be sure to remove the batteries because they can
leak and cause damage.
•
Dispose of batteries in the proper manner, according to federal, state, and local regulations.
•
Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different battery type, if inserted incorrectly, if all batteries
are not replaced at the same time, if disposed of in fire, or if an attempt is made to charge a battery not
intended to be recharged.
•
Discard leaky batteries immediately. Leaking batteries can cause skin burns or other personal injury.
