First Things First
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.
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.
