FIRST THINGS FIRST

Make sure your package contains all of the items shown to the right.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

There are a couple of things you need to know in order to get the best possible performance from your system.

MOISTURE CONDENSATION

Just as moisture can form on the inside of windows on a cold day, it can also form on the inside of your stereo, causing it to malfunction. Some situations in which condensation might form include the following:

Immediately after a heater has been turned on

In a steamy or very humid room

When the system is suddenly moved from a cold environment to a warm, moist one; for example, in moving the stereo from a cool air conditioned room to an outside porch on a humid, summer day.

If moisture forms inside this player, it may not operate properly. To correct the problem, turn off the power and wait about 30 minutes for moisture to evaporate.

LOCATION

These guidelines should be followed when deciding on a place to put your stereo system:

Choose a level, solid, surface. Don’t place it on a soft surface, such as carpeting or foam rubber.

Choose a location away from direct sunlight, radiators, air ducts, and other sources of heat.

Avoid locations that are subject to moisture, mechanical vibration, shock, or excessive dust.

Make sure that the location has adequate air circulation. Good ventilation is essential to protect the system from internal heat build up.

Speaker Placement

For optimal listening, place speakers at least seven feet apart and facing the listener.

Be a Pack Rat

It’s a good idea to keep the box and all of the packing materials when you’re done unpacking the system in case you need to store, move, or ship the unit at a later date.
