[. . . ] Many of these items are common sense precautions but, for your own safety and to ensure that you do not damage the unit, we recommend that you read them. This product is designed and manufactured to meet strict quality and safety standards. However, you should be aware of the following installation and operation precautions. Take heed of warnings and instructions You should read all the safety and operating instructions before operating this equipment. [. . . ] Your room's shape and how it is furnished will affect the sound you hear. For instance, too many bare surfaces can cause reflections that may add harshness to the sound. If you have a choice of listening rooms, avoid one that is perfectly square or has one dimension exactly twice another. The closer you place a speaker to corners and the intersection of wall and floor or wall and ceiling, the stronger the bass output, which may over-emphasise the bass. Moving a speaker just a few inches can sometimes make a big difference. Solo Mini is designed to drive a pair of full-bandwidth speakers, rated between 4 and 8 ohms.

Your Solo Mini is capable of superb radio reception, but only if it is receiving a good quality transmission signal. After the last track has finished, playback restarts from the first track.
