Finding A Suitable Location; Avoiding Condensation Problems - Pioneer XR-A9700DV Operating Instruction

Finding a suitable location

We want you to enjoy using your new stereo system for years to come, so please bear in
mind the following points when choosing a suitable location for the system
components and speakers:
Do...
Use in a well-ventilated room.
Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table, shelf or stereo rack.
Leave at least 10cm(3-15/16 inch) either side of the unit, 15cm(5-7/8 inch)
at the back, and 25cm(9-13/16 inch) overhead for proper ventilation.
Don't...
Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or humidity, including near
radiators and other heat-generating appliances.
Place on a window sill or other place where any of the components or
speakers will be exposed to direct sunlight.
Use in an excessively dusty or damp environment.
Place directly on top of any appliance which becomes hot in use.
Use near a television or monitor as you may experience interference—
especially if the television uses an indoor antenna.
Use in a kitchen or other room where the unit may be exposed to smoke or
steam.
Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large enough to support all
four of the unit's feet, or the whole footprint of each speaker.
Block the cooling fan on the rear of the unit. Don't cover the unit with cloth,
or use on thick carpet, etc.
Put obejects on top of the speakers.

Avoiding condensation problems

Condensation may form inside the unit if it is brought into a warm room from
outside, or if the temperature of the room rises quickly. Although the condensation
won't damage the unit, it may temporarily impair its performance. For this reason
you should leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for about an hour before
switching on and using.
