To avoid possible damage to the system or to a connected TV or component, the AC power cord must be plugged into a polarized, three-prong electrical outlet that is properly wired and grounded. Any TV or component connected to the system must be functioning properly and free of defects. If a TV or component connected to the system is faulty or defective, it may cause damage to the TV or component, or to the system itself. As with all electrical products, connection to faulty or defective components, or the failure to connect to a properly wired outlet, may cause sparking and pose a fire hazard.
