Before You Start

✗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.
