prolong the life of the receiver.

or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, or mechanical shock.

that might block the vent ilation holes and
cause malfunctions.
• Do not place the receiver near equipment
such as a TV, VCR, or tape deck . (If the
receiver is being used in combination with a
TV, VCR, or tape deck, and is placed too
close to that equipm ent, noise may resu lt,
and picture quality may suffer. This is
especially likely when using an indoor

discoloration of the surface may result.
