Positioning
Components
on Shelves
This stand is designed with ventilation openings which allow
adequate ventilation for components having a total power
consumption of not more than 690 watts. Total power
consumption can be determined by adding together the watts
of each component operating in this stand. Do not confuse
the output power rating (WATTS) per channel of an amplifier
with the power consumption.
The power consumption of,
each component [given as WATTS (W)] can usually be found
on the back or bottom of each unit along with the brand name
and model number. Simply add the watts for each unit to get
the total power consumption.
If equipment is installed that
uses more than 690 total watts, overheating may occur
resulting in a fire hazard or damage to your equipment.
To ensure the best performance fi'om your components,
follow these general guidelines when arranging them on the
shelves of your new sland.
• Amplifier/receivers, satellite rec'eivers, tuners, DVD players,
computers, and VCRs all generate heat during operation and
require sufficient clearance to prevent overheaing.
Special
care should be taken when arranging these components in
your stand.
• The computer should be placed on the fixed shelf.
• An amplifier/receiver,
generally produces more heat than
the other components.
So, place it on the adjustable shelf
and be sure to leaw: at least the minimum clearance above
it based on the following power consumption:
Watts rating
of the amplifier/receiver
rated less than 350 Watt,¢ -four
inches; for 350 to 650 Watts - six inches. Leave at least
two inches of clearance above all other components such as
VCRs, etc.
• Do not stack an amplifier/receiver
and a VCR directly on
top of each other. Also do not stack other components
directly on top of an amplifier/receiver,
satellite receiver,
DVD player, or VCR.
