Setup and ConnectionsThings to Consider Before You ConnectProtect Against Power Surges• Connect all components before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet.• Turn off the TV and/or components before you connect or disconnect any cables.• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safeguards sheet packedwith your HD DVD player.Protect Components from Overheating• Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can circulatefreely.• 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 so the heated air from it won’t flowaround other components.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 ofstraight 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 awayfrom audio/video cables.AccessoriesRemote controlBatteries(AAA)x2Power cordCaution• Do not use this power cord withany device other than this player.Video cableCheck that the following accessories are supplied.Accessories Included with your HD DVD PlayerHDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI Licensing LLC.s&c1.indd 4 3/15/06 9:30:54 AM
