Place the AVR • Place the AVR on a firm and level surface. Be certain that the surface and any mounting hardware can support the AVR's weight. • Provide proper space above, below, behind and to the sides of the AVR for ventilation. Maintain a clearance of at least 12" (30cm) on each side of, above and behind the unit. • If you install the AVR in a cabinet or other enclosed area, provide cooling air within the cabinet. Under some circumstances, a fan may be required. • Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the top of the AVR or place objects directly over them. • Do not place the AVR directly on a carpeted surface. • Do not place the AVR in moist or humid locations, in extremely hot or cold locations, in areas near heaters or heat registers, or in direct sunlight.
