aw ay from the audio/ video cables as much as possible.

• Do not block ventilation holes in any component.
Arrange the c omponents so that air can circulate
freely.
• Do not stack components directly on top of each
other.
• Allow adequate ventilation when placing your
components in a stand.
• Place an amplifier near the top shelf of the stand so
heating air rising from it will not affect other compo-
nents. If you have a satellite receiver, you should place
it on the top shelf.
