Tips for positioning your Xbox 360 console

  • Put the console in an open area with lots of ventilation. Do not put the console in an enclosed space.

  • Do not stack other electronic devices on top of, underneath, or against the sides of your console.

  • Make sure the console and its power supply are on a hard, steady surface. Do not put the console on anything soft (such as a bed, sofa, or rug).

  • Position the console away from heat sources, such as ventilation openings on televisions and electronic devices. Also, keep the console away from heating vents and direct sunlight.

  • Position the console away from high-vibrating sources, such as low frequency speakers, subwoofers, etc.
