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).
