Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct sunlight,
high temperatures, high humidity, and excessive vibration. These
conditions can damage the cabinet and other components, thereby
shortening the unit’s service life.

Place it at least 15 cm away from wall surfaces to avoid distortion
and unwanted acoustical effects.

Do not place heavy items on the unit.

VoltageVoltage

Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload the unit
and cause a fi re.

Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully when
setting the unit up on a ship or other place where DC is used.
