Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than  
140˚F (60˚C) or to extremely low temperatures.  
If your system does not work properly, disconnect the AC power  
cord from the AC outlet. Plug the AC power cord back in, and then  
turn on your system.  
The sound level at a given volume setting depends on speaker  
efficiency, location, and various other factors. It is advisable to avoid
