Notice
Do not place the system in an area subject to excessive

smoke residue on the internal components (such as the

Set as shown in the diagram at right when setting in the
vertical position.
Caution
• Do not use the system in a closed cabinet or other locations where heat
may build up. Doing so may cause the system to overheat and may lead to
fire, injury or malfunction.
• If the system's internal temperature becomes elevated, the power indicator
will flash alternately in red and green. In this case, turn off the system
(page 16) and leave it unused for a while. After the system cools down,
move it to a location with good ventilation, and then resume use.
