11. Proper Position
For the Xbox One console to work as intended, it has to be positioned properly. The proper position depends on the console model:
For Xbox One Original
Place the console horizontally.
Do not place the console vertically.
For Xbox One S or X
The console can be placed horizontally. This position offers the most stability.
The console can also be placed vertically. The proper stand is required when using the console in this position.
Do not place the console vertically without the proper stand.
Keep these in mind when placing the console:
Place the console on a stable surface.
Do not place the console on speakers or subwoofers.
The console should be in a well-ventilated, relatively cool place and away from direct heat sources.
The space should be uncluttered. Do not put other objects on, under, or right next to the console to avoid blocking the vents and cause your console to overheat.
12. Check Disc
Hold the disc by the edges without touching the top or bottom surfaces.
Inspect the disc for dirt, scratches or visible defects.
If the disc is dirty, use a soft, clean, slightly damp cloth to clean it by lightly wiping from the center of the disc outward.
Use water only. Do not use solvents to clean the disc.
If the disc still can't be recognized or played, try it in another unit of the same type or try another disc of the same type in the unit.
