Preventing damage to the device

The front, edges and corners of the device are all vulnerable to pressure. Protect these areas to prevent them from being subjected to excessive loads. Never tilt the device over its corners or edges. Always work in a team of two when lifting the device to turn it. Never place the device facedown.

To transport or ship the device, please pack it in the enclosed protective cases and store it in its original packaging. Keep the original packaging for this purpose.

If you lose the original packaging, use another box of sufficient size for transport. There must be a minimum clearance of 10cm between the device housing/external control elements and all sides of the box. Fill this space with polystyrene.

Protecting the media inside the device

• Never place the device on or in the immediate vicinity of fire and heat sources, e.g. burning candles, stove tops or radiators.
• Both the room in which you install the device and its position in the room will have a significant effect on the sound of your sonoroHIFI. Ideally, it should be positioned without obstructions and opposite the listening position, with a clearance of approx. 50~cm from walls at the rear and sides.

2.11 In case of defects

If the device develops a defect, do not attempt to repair it on your own.

If the power plug, adapter or power cable of this device is damaged, they must be replaced by the manufacturer or the manufacturer's customer service department to prevent risk of electric shock.
Should any fluid enter the device, or if the device has been dropped or otherwise damaged, have it checked by an authorised dealer. Immediately disconnect the device from the power supply and contact an authorised dealer as soon as possible.
