PLACEMENT
� Do not place the unit in a location where it will be exposed to direct sunlight or near a heating appliance. � Do not place the unit in a location where there is high humidity or a lot of dust. � Cartridge may pick up slight sound pressures or vibrations from the speakers coming along the floor or through the air resulting in feedback. Find a location which is very stable and vibration free. � The legs have functions for adjusting the height of the unit itself. Adjust the legs to stabilize the main body horizontally.
