Location
• Avoid direct sunlight. Maintain adequate ventilation.

someone help you when moving it.
CAUTION
• If you 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 adequate ventilation of the rear of the 
unit.
Using the optional PIONEER stand
• For details on installation, refer to the instruction manual 
supplied with the stand.
