support a heavy load, such as a TV.
Your Recorder is only capable of
supporting the weight of one or two
common A/V components such as VCRs,
DVD players, or A/V receivers (provided
they have four good, broad, padded feet
that distribute of the weight near the
corners of the Recorder).
Also, avoid stacking your Recorder on top
of other electronic components such as
VCRs, A/V receivers, or your TV’s vents.
