For safe operation and satisfactory performance of your TV/VCR/DVD, remember the following:

Avoid dusty or humid places.

Avoid places with insufficient ventilation. Do not block the ventilation openings at the top and bottom of the TV/VCR/DVD. Do not place the TV/VCR/DVD on a carpet, as this will block the ventilation openings.

Avoid locations subject to strong vibrations.
