Getting Started
This section explains how to connect audio/video components and speakers to the receiver, and how to connect the
power supply.
Before Installation
General
· Be sure your hands are dry.
· Turn the power off to all components.
· Read the manuals supplied with the components you are going to
connect.
Locations
· Install the receiver in a location that is level and protected from
moisture.
· The temperature around the receiver must be between ­5° and 35°
C (23° and 95° F).
· Make sure there is good ventilation around the receiver. Poor
ventilation could cause overheating and damage the receiver.
Handling the receiver
· Do not insert any metal object into the receiver.
· Do not disassemble the receiver or remove screws, covers, or
cabinet.
