Notice
Do not place the system in an area subject to excessive 
dust or cigarette smoke. Dust build-up or cigarette 
smoke residue on the internal components (such as the 
lens) may cause the system to malfunction.
Hint
The system can be set in a horizontal or vertical position. 
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 
fi re, injury or malfunction.
•  If the system's internal temperature becomes elevated, the power indicator 
will fl ash 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.
