Location

Install the unit in a well-ventilated location where it will not be
exposed to high temperatures or humidity.
Do not install the unit in a location which is exposed to direct
rays of the sun, or near stoves or radiators. Excessive heat can
adversely affect the cabinet and internal components. Installa-
tion of the unit in a damp or dusty environment may also result
in a malfunction or an accident (avoid installation near cookers,
etc., where the unit may be exposed to oily smoke, steam or
heat).

Precautions regarding installation

¶

Placing and using the unit for long periods on heat-
generating sources will affect performance. Avoid placing the
unit on heat-generating sources.

¶

Install the unit as far away as possible from your TV.
Installation in close proximity to such equipment may cause
noise or degradation of the picture.

¶

Such noise may be particularly noticeable when an indoor
antenna is used. In such cases, make use of an outdoor
antenna, or turn off the power to the unit.
