Connections & Setup

Things to Consider Before Connecting Components

Protect Components From Power Surges

• Connect all components before plugging any power cords into the wall outlet.

• Always turn off the TV and other components before you connect or disconnect any cables.

Position Cables to Avoid Audio Hum or Interference

• Insert all cable plugs firmly into their jacks.

• Place any Audio/Video (A/V)cables to the side(s)of the TV ’s back panel instead of straight

down the back after connecting components.

• Try not to coil any twin-lead cables and keep them away from all A/V cables as much as

possible.

• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded.Refer to the Safety Tips sheet

packed with your unit for detailed information.

Protect Components From Overheating

• Never block ventilation slots in any component.Arrange the components so that air can

circulate freely.

• Do not stack components.

• Allow adequate ventilation when placing components in a stand.

• Place an amplifier or satellite receiver on the top shelf of a stand so heated air rising from it

will not flow around other components.

Cable Considerations

The RF coaxial cable supplied with your VCR carries both sound and picture information.This
is the cable used in all connection diagrams in this chapter.

If your TV has A/V input jacks,you should use A/V cables (not supplied)to connect the VCR to
the TV. A/V cables provide better picture and sound quality than an RF coaxial cable. If you
would like to hook up your VCR using A/V cables,refer to the Advanced Connection
information on page 34 in the Other Information chapter of the manual.
