Precautions for placement
and use
• The environmental temperature operating range
of this unit is 0–40°C (32–104°F).
• Do not install this unit in the following types of
locations. Doing so could degrade the sound
quality and/or cause malfunctions.
Places with significant vibrations
Near windows or other places exposed to
direct sunlight
Near heaters or other extremely hot places
Extremely cold places
Places with bad ventilation or high humidity
Very dusty locations
• If this unit is placed near a power amplifier or
other device with a large transformer, it could
cause a hum. If this occurs, increase the distance
between this unit and the other device.
• This unit could cause color irregularities on a TV
screen or noise from a radio if used nearby. If this
occurs, use this unit farther away.
• This unit might produce noise if a mobile phone
or other wireless device is used nearby to make
calls or send or receive signals. If this occurs,
increase the distance between this unit and those
devices or turn them off.
• To enable good heat dissipation, do not place
anything on top of this unit.
• Do not place this unit on top of a power amplifier
or other device that generates heat.
Beware of condensation
If the unit is moved from a cold to a warm place,
or used after a sudden temperature change, there
is a danger of condensation; vapor in the air could
condense on the internal mechanism, making
correct operation impossible. To prevent this, or if
this occurs, let the unit sit for one or two hours at the
new room temperature before using it.
Cleaning the unit
Use a dry soft cloth to wipe the unit clean. Do not
wipe with chemical cleaning cloths, thinner, alcohol
or other chemical agents. Doing so could damage
the surface or cause discoloration.
