• Do not place anything on the record player cover. Objects on the cover might cause noise due to vibrations or fall off, especially during playback.
• Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight, close to a source of heat or in other similar condi-tions. Do not place the unit on top of an amplifier or other equipment that might generate heat that exceeds the operating temperature range of this unit. Doing so could cause dis-coloration, deformation or malfunction.
• As the unit could become warm during operation, always leave sufficient space around it for ventilation. When installing this unit, leave a little space (at least 20 cm) between it and other devices and walls to allow good heat dissipation. When placing it in a rack, for exam-ple, leave at least 35 cm open above it and 10 cm open behind. Failure to provide these gaps could cause heat to build up inside and result in fire.
