Before You Start

✗
Use near a television or monitor as you may
experience interference—especially if the television
uses an indoor antenna.
✗
Use in a kitchen or other room where the system
may be exposed to smoke or steam.
✗
Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with cloth—
this may prevent proper cooling of the unit.
✗
Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not
large enough to support all four of the unit’s feet.
Avoiding problems with condensation
Condensation may form inside the system if it is
brought into a warm room from outside, or if the
temperature of the room rises quickly. Although the
condensation won’t damage the system, it may
temporarily impair its performance. For this reason you
should leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for
about an hour before switching on and using.
Moving the system
If you need to move the system, first switch it off and
unplug from the wall outlet. Never lift or move the unit
during playback—discs rotate at a high speed and may
be damaged.
