•Do not place the receiver near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical shock.

•Do not place anything on top of the cabinet that might block the ventilation holes and cause malfunctions.

•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).
