Ventilation
When installing this unit, make sure to leave space
around the unit for ventilation to improve heat dispersal
(at least 8 in. (20 cm) at the top). If not enough space is
provided between the unit and walls or other equipment,
heat will build up inside, interfering with performance
and/or causing malfunctions.
Slot and openings in the cabinet are provided for
ventilation and to protect the equipment from
overheating. To prevent fire hazard, do not place anything
directly on top of the unit, make sure the openings are
never blocked or covered with items (such as
newspapers, table-cloths and curtains), and do not
operate the equipment on thick carpet or a bed.
Installing the
receiver
• When installing this unit, make sure to put it on a
level and stable surface.
Don’t install it on the following places:
– on a color TV (the screen may distort)
– near a cassette deck (or close to a device that gives off
a magnetic field). This may interfere with the sound.
– in direct sunlight
– in damp or wet areas
– in extremely hot or cold areas
– in places where there is vibration or other movement
– in places that are very dusty
– in places that have hot fumes or oils (such as a kitchen)
Loading the batteries
Caution
Incorrect use of batteries may result in such hazards as
leakage and bursting. Observe the following precautions:
• Never use new and old batteries together.
• Insert the plus and minus sides of the batteries
properly according to the marks in the battery case.

with governmental regulations or environmental
public instruction’s rules that apply in your country or
area.
