Installing the receiver
When installing this unit, make sure to put it on 
a level and stable surface. Don’t install it on the 
following places:
– on a color TV (the screen may distort)
– near a cassette deck (or close to a device that 
gives off a magnetic field). This may interfere 
with the sound.
– in direct sunlight
– in damp or wet areas
– in extremely hot or cold areas
– in places where there is vibration or other 
movement
– in places that are very dusty
– in places that have hot fumes or oils (such as 
a kitchen)
Ventilation
When installing this unit, make sure to leave 
space around the unit for ventilation to 
improve heat dispersal (at least 20 cm at the 
top). If not enough space is provided between 
the unit and walls or other equipment, heat will 
build up inside, interfering with performance 
and/or causing malfunctions.
Slot and openings in the cabinet are provided 
for ventilation and to protect the equipment 
from overheating. To prevent fire hazard, do not 
place anything directly on top of the unit, make 
sure the openings are never blocked or covered 
with items (such as newspapers, table-cloths 
and curtains), and do not operate the 
equipment on thick carpet or a bed.
