Before Getting Started: 

Things to Consider

It is very important to read the following instructions prior to starting any installation 

procedures. Doing so will ensure a correct installation and may save you some time as well.

Protect Against Power Surges

•  

Connect all external components before you plug any of their power cords into the 

   wall outlet.

•  

Turn off the Sumo before you connect or disconnect any cables.

•  

Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded.

Protect Components from Overheating

•  

Don't block ventilation holes. Arrange any components so that air can circulate freely.

•  

Don't stack components.

•  

If you place the Sumo on a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.

•  

If you connect an external receiver or amplifier, place it away from the Sumo so the 

   heated air from it won't flow around it.

Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference

•  

Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.

•  

If you place components above the Sumo, route all cables down the side of the back 

   of the Sumo instead of straight down the middle of the back of the Sumo.

Important Stand and Base Safety Information

Choose the location for your Sumo carefully. If the Sumo is placed on a stand or base, 

ensure that it is of adequate size and strength to prevent it from being accidentally tipped 

over, pushed off, or pulled off. This could cause personal injury and/or damage to the Sumo.
