Cautions on Installation

Place of installation

Select a stable, flat place to install this unit. Do not place it in an unsteady, unstable place or a place exposed to heavy vibrations.

Avoid the following types of places:

On top of TVs or color monitors

Near cassette decks or other components easily affected by magnetism.

Places exposed to direct sunlight or strong artificial light

Places subject to vibration

Places exposed to strong electromagnetic or magnetic forces

Places in which there is much electrical noise

Places in which electrostatic noise tends to be generated

Humid or poorly ventilated places

Closed racks

Extremely hot or cold places

Places in which there is much dust or cigarette smoke

Places exposed to soot, steam or heat (in kitchens, etc.)

Surrounding temperature and humidity during use

This unit should be used within a surrounding temperature range of 0 °C to 45 °C and a relative humidity of 85 % or less. When stacking units of this unit (up to three units), the upper limit for the surrounding temperature should be about 35 °C. Furthermore, when mounting on a rack or in any other closed place, or when installing near devices that generate heat, the temperature around this unit should be 45 °C maximum.

The unit may be set to the standby mode or playback may stop if the internal temperature rises. If this happens, change the place of installation, usage conditions, etc.

Do not place objects on top

Do not place other products, display devices, etc., on top of this unit.

Do not obstruct the ventilation holes

Do not use this unit on a shaggy rug, bed, or sofa, and do not cover this unit with a cloth, etc. Doing so will prevent heat dissipation and could lead to damage.

Keep away from heat

Heat may lead to unstable operation or fire.

When installing this unit, make sure to leave space around the unit for ventilation to improve heat radiation (at least 5 cm at top, 5 cm at rear, and 5 cm at each side).

Install the seat away from other devices.

When installing multiple units

Up to three units of this unit can be stacked.

The current will surge if the power to several units of this unit is turned on or off (to the standby mode) simultaneously from an external device. For the value per unit, see page 81.
