The openings should never be blocked by placing your receiver

Power cord  
Caution  
We recommend that most appliances be placed upon a  
dedicated circuit—a single outlet circuit which powers only that  
appliance and has no additional outlets or branch circuits.  
Check the specification page of this manual for power  
requirements.  
Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or  
damaged wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, or  
damaged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of  
these conditions could result in electric shock or fire.  
Periodically examine your receiver cord, and if its appearance  
indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of  
your receiver, and have the cord replaced with an exact  
replacement part by an authorized service provider.  
Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse,  
such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or  
walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and  
the point where the cord exits your receiver.

No. 8AWG (8.4 mm2) aluminum,  
No. 17AWG (1.0 mm2) copper-clad steel  
or bronze wire, or larger, as a ground wire.

Note  
To improve reception, you may use a 75 outdoor  
antenna instead of an indoor antenna. Disconnect  
the indoor antenna before replacing it with an  
outdoor antenna.

Place the surround speakers approximately  
40 inches (1 meter) above the ear level of a  
seated listener on the direct left and right of  
them or slightly behind.
