check for moisture

Just as moisture can form on the inside of windows on a cold day, it can also
form on the inside of your audio system causing it to malfunction.
If moisture forms inside the system it may not operate properly. In this case
the best thing to do is to disconnect power to the unit and wait about 30
minutes for the moisture to evaporate.

choosing system location

It is recommended to follow these guidelines when setting up your system:
• Choose a solid, level surface. Don’t place on surfaces like carpet or foam rubber.
• Choose a location away from direct sunlight, radiator, air ducts and sources of heat.
• A void locations subject to moisture, mechanical vibration, shock or excessive dust.
• Ensure that the location is adequately ventillated, as it is essential to protect the
unit from internal heat build-up.
For optimal listening:
• Speakers should be placed at least three feet apart and facing the listener.
• Speakers should be placed away from the wall to avoid accentuated bass response.
