Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct sunlight, 

high temperatures, high humidity, and excessive vibration. These 
conditions can damage the cabinet and other components, thereby 
shortening the unit’s service life.

Place it at least 15 cm away from wall surfaces to avoid distortion 

and unwanted acoustical effects.

Do not place heavy items on the unit.

Voltage

Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload the unit 

and cause a fi re.

Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully when 

setting the unit up on a ship or other place where DC is used.
