DONT obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings. Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment. DONT use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs or stands to the TV with any screws other than those provided - to ensure complete safety always use the manufacturers approved stand with the fixings provided. DONT allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.

2. Power Cord

The power supply cord should be placed so that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon them or against it. Pay particular attention to cord where it enters the plug, power outlet, and the point where it exits from the receiver.
