Installing a television above a fireplace has become increasingly
popular; however, the area above any fireplace gets hot and most
TV manufacturers recommend against placing their products
near a heat source.

Systems accepts no responsibility for damage or injuries. Follow
the television manufacturer’s installation instructions, including
any recommendations regarding proximity to heat sources.
If you have a TV above your fireplace, turn off the fireplace and
let it cool completely before servicing or touching any buttons
on the TV.
