Set up and Maintenance of the

Receiver

Provide spaces for sufficient ventilation as

indicated:

• Do not connect to the AC power cords until

all connections are completed.

• Do not use your set immediately after

transferring it from a cold place to a warm

place: there is risk of condensation.

• Do not expose your set to water and

excessively high temperatures.

•

After having disconnected your set, clean the

case with a soft cloth, or with a slightly damp

leather chamois. Never use strong solvents.

Protect your Components from

Overheating

• Do not block ventilation holes in any

component. Arrange the components so that

air can circulate freely.

• Do not stack components directly on top of

each other.

• Do not place the unit near other components

that generate heat such as heating vents.

•

Allow adequate ventilation when placing

your components in a stand.

•

Place an amplifier near the top shelf of the

stand so heated air rising from it will not

affect other components. If you have a

satellite receiver, you should place it on the

top shelf.
