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.

Audio/video cables are usually bundled together. For better visibility, the connection pictures in this book show each cable separately (audio left, audio
