Because the Plasma Display is heavy, be sure to have someone to help you when moving it. Do not place anything on the top of the Media Receiver; it will not receive enough ventilation and will not operate properly. Note Allow enough space around the upper and back parts when installing to ensure ventilation around the backside of the Plasma Display. Preparation Connecting the cable between the PDP and the Set-Top Box: · · White connectors connect to the WHITE terminal on the Set-Top Box and DVI terminal on the PDP.
