Note
Your SVR Recorder is not designed for
carrying heavy loads such as a TV.
Structurally, the SVR Recorder is only
capable of supporting the weight of one or
two common consumer components such
as VCRs, DVD players or A/V Receivers
(provided they have four good, broad,
padded feet for distribution of the weight
near the corners of the SVR Recorder).
The SVR Recorder is well-designed for
stacking since ventilation enters at the front
bottom edge of the SVR Recorder and exits
at mid-rear. This helps the SVR Recorder
"breathe in" cool air and "exhaust out" the
warm air at the rear where it's least likely to
harm the other components in your A/V
stack.
