• Do not place the receiver near heat sources,
or
in
a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, or tnechanical shock.
• Do not place anything on top
of
the cabinet
that might block the ventilation holes and
cause tnalfunctions.
• Do not place the receiver near equipment
such as a television, VCR,
or
tape deck. (If
the receiver
is
being used in combination
with a television, VCR, or tape deck, and is
placed too close to that equipment, noise
may result, and picture quality may suffer.
This
is
especially likely when using an
indoor antenna (aerial). Therefore, we
recommend using an outdoor antenna
(aerial).)
