tions this manual provides valuable informa-
tion on various system configurations as well
as general information that will help you get

Be sure to keep the original sales receipt. It is
your best record of the date of purchase, which
you will need in the event warranty service is
ever required.
Placement
Place the RDV-1040 on a surface that is level,
dry and neither too hot nor too cold (between
5˚C and 35˚C, 41˚F and 95˚F). Do not place
the unit where it will be exposed to direct sun-
light. Avoid locations that are dusty. Do not
place the unit too close to the television set.
Do not place the RDV-1040 where it will be
exposed to vibrations, such as near a sub-
woofer. To ensure proper ventilation observe
the minimum clearance specifications listed in

cable connections until the RDV-1040 has
been unplugged from the power outlet.
