Before initial setup
Protect against power surges
• Connect all components before you plug any power cords into the wall outlet or power strip.
• NEVER plug your TV into an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch.
•
• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important
Safety Instructions.
Safety information
• Prevent TV from overheating by placing in an area with good ventilation.
• Do not block ventilation holes on the TV. Position the TV so air can circulate freely on all sides.
• Do not stack objects on the TV.
• If you place the TV on a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.
• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier to the TV, place it on the top shelf so the heated air
will not overheat the TV.
Avoid audio interference
• Position cables properly; insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.
• Route all cables down one side of the back of the TV instead of straight down the middle.
• If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables.
• Keep twin lead cables away from audio/video cables.
Avoid direct light
• Do not place the TV where sunlight or room lighting is directed toward the screen. Use soft or
indirect lighting.
