E. BASIC INSTALLATION AND
CONNECTIONS
1. Place the unit on a clean level surface away from
excessive heat, moisture or light. Ideally, the-MD-2
should be placed on the top of an audio component cabi-
net or other "open air" rigid platform.
2. The MD-2 may be placed in a cabinet. It will require.
17.0 inches of verticaIclearance between the bottom and
top shelves for proper operation of the cover.
3. If space is limited the MD-2 can be operated without
its dust cover. Six inches vertical clearance is adequate to
allow convenient access to the disc transport area.
4. The location of the unit should be within 2 meters of
the digital signal processor. If longer distance is required,
we recommend using a fibre optic data link as it is more
suited to long distance runs.
5. Connect the AC power cord to the back of the unit.
Once the power cord is secured, plug the cord into an AC
outlet.
When the MD-2 is connected to the AC outlet you will
hear a soft clicking sound and the display on the front
will show two illuminated dashes. This puts the unit in a
standby condition.
NOTE: While the MD-2 has superb regulation and does
not require a dedicated AC circuit, we strongly advise
against any connections through extension cords or mul-
tiple AC adaptors. High quality 15 amp grounded AC
strips are acceptable.
6. Connect the Digital Output from the MD-2 to a Krell
Digital Processor or other compatible digital-to-analog
audio processor. The MD-2 is compatible with both
industry standard Fibre Optic or Coaxial cable connec-
tors. ~’/i
Care should be taken in selecting th~ type of cable used
to link the MD-2 to your processor. If coaxial cable is to
be used it should be 75o1~m, non-capacitive, with a band-
width in excess of 10 MHz to prevent dropout errors.
CAUTION: The MD-2 is a CD Transport only. It is not
designed to connect directly to any preamp or analog
signal processor.
