Things to Consider Before You Connect
Protect Against Power Surges
•
Connect all components 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 component(s) before you connect or disconnect any cables.
•
Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safeguards Instructions at the
beginning of the manual.
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.
•
If 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 so the heated air from it won’t flow around
other components.
Important Stand and Base Safety Information
If a stand or base is used ensure that is of adequate size and strength to prevent the TV from being accidentally tipped
over, pushed off, or pulled off. This could cause personal injury and/or damage the TV. Refer to the Important Safety
Instructions at the beginning of the manual.
Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference
Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.
Use Indirect Light
Don’t place the TV where sunlight or room lighting will be directed toward the screen. Use soft or indirect lighting.
