connect an optional Ir receiver to the Ir remote In jack. the Ir remote out jack

may be connected to the Ir input of a compatible product to enable remote control

through the Avr.
Fan Vents: these vents are used by the Avr’s fan to cool the system. maintain

a clearance of at least three inches (75mm) from the nearest surface to avoid

overheating the unit. It is normal for the fan to remain off at most normal volume

levels. An automatic temperature sensor turns the fan on only when it is needed.

IMPORTANT NOTE: never block the fan vents. doing so could allow the Avr to

overheat to dangerous levels.
