To take full advantage of your new mini-compact system, fol-
low these installation instructions before connecting the unit.

Install the system on a flat, stable surface.

Never place this unit on carpeting.

Never place this unit in an outdoor area.

Maintain an open space of approximately 6 inches (15 cm) on the
sides and rear of the system, for ventilation purposes.

Make sure that you have enough room to open the compact disc
compartment easily.

Place the loudspeakers at a reasonable distance on either side of
the system to ensure good stereo sound.

Direct the loudspeakers towards the listening area.

For optimum performance, make sure that both speakers are placed
at an equal distance above the floor.
