Pick a Location
Keep these considerations in mind when deciding where to place the cable receiver:
• Airflow is important – Allow at least 2 inches of space on the top and sides of the
cable receiver. Do not block any of the slots or openings.
• If you have the Digital Video Recorder (DVR), do not place the DVR near an
external heat source or on top of other electronic equipment that could raise the
temperature around the DVR.
• Place the receiver near the power outlet and TV set to accommodate cabling.

time.
