Set up this system by allowing spaces specified in the figure or more around and behind the main unit to assure good ventilation.
To prevent the ventilation holes from being obstructed, be sure not to place another unit or any object on top of the main unit.
Otherwise, it may cause fire or damage to the main unit.
Cautions
• If the main unit is put inside a rack, the front of it must be fully open.
• When mounting this system on the wall, allow spaces specified in the figure around the system as well, however,
the space between the system and the wall is determined by the mounting bracket and screws used.
• When mounting this system on the wall, make sure that there is no metalic projection on the wall. If a metallic
projection get into an opening of the main unit, it may cause fire or an electric shock to the user.
