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 satellite 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.
Protect Your Components from Overheating
•
Do not block ventilation holes in any of the components.
Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely.
•
Do not stack components.
•
Allow adequate ventilation when placing your components
in a stand.
•
Place an amplifier or satellite receiver on the top shelf of
the stand so heated air rising from it will not flow around
other components.

CAUTION
Do not stack electronic components
or other objects on top of the DSS
Receiver. The slots on top of the
receiver must be left uncovered to
allow proper airflow to the unit.
Blocking the airflow to the unit could
impair performance or damage your
receiver and other components.
Do not stack the DSS receiver on top
of a “hot component” such as an audio
power amplifier.
