Hints on installation

We want you to enjoy using this product for years to come, so please use the following guidelines when choosing a suitable location:

Do...

Place on a window sill or a place where the player will be exposed to direct sunlight.

Use in an excessively dusty or damp environment.

Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other component in your stereo system that becomes hot in use.

Use near a television or monitor as you may experience interference—especially if the television uses an indoor antenna.
