Where do you put your AV receiver?
Cabinets and TV stands. Most people choose to place their receiver in a cabinet or stand. You may already have one for your receiver. If not, you'll want to check out our selection of AV furniture.
Where can I hide my receiver?
Placing Your Receiver/AV Equipment On A Wire Rack
So here's how to how to hide your av receiver. Rather than keeping your AV receiver in plain site where it can be cumbersome and an eyesore, an easy way to solve this issue is placing it on a wire rack within a closet so that it's out of the way.
How much space does an AV receiver need?
Although there's no definitive specification, we recommend a minimum of 6 inches of ventilation space above and 2 inches on either side of the AVR. This will reduce the risk of the unit overheating and tripping the internal protection circuit when playing at a high volume output level.
Can an AV receiver be placed on its side?
Everything about the machine is designed to vent heat up and out, not to the side. By putting it on its side, you will block one of the side vents, and another side essentially becomes the top and all the heat will have to vent out through the much smaller side vents.
