One would be that it's easier for water to get into the unit since any that hits the faceplate or CD opening could go right down into it, instead or running off. The other is heat. The heat sinks are on he back of the units. When they're installed horizontally, most of the heat that gets generated radiates off the back of the unit and up into the surrounding area, away from the unit. When you install it vertically, the heat stays trapped inside the unit which can then lead to the unit overheating, shutting down, and a decreased lifespan.</p></blockquote><p></p>
