LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS
The unit requires special care during installation to ensure
optimal performance. The unit should be installed on a shelf or in
a standard 19” equipment rack using the enclosed optional
rack-mount kit.
Observe the following precautions when installing the unit:
• Select a dry, well-ventilated location out of direct sunlight.
• Do not stack the unit directly above heat-producing
equipment, such as power amplifiers.
• Avoid placing the unit near unshielded TV or FM antennas, cable
TV decoders, and other RF emitting devices. If placed in close
proximity to the unit, these devices may cause interference.
• Do not obstruct the front panel IR Receiver window (see pages
2-2 and 2-6 for illustrations). The remote control must be in
line-of-sight with the receiver for proper operation. If line-of-
sight is impractical, an infrared remote system can be used
with the rear panel IR IN connector. The unit can be placed
inside a glass cabinet. However, smoked glass will reduce the
range of the remote control as well as the readability of the
front panel display.
NAVIGATING THE MENUS
The remote control must be used to navigate
through the extensive menu structure (see
page 2-8 for more information about the
remote control). Pressing the MENU button
accesses the MAIN MENU (pictured at the
right), which can be used to access the three primary menus:
MODE ADJUST, AUDIO CONTROLS, and SETUP. These menus are
discussed in Sections 5, 4, and 3. The complete menu structure is
illustrated in the Appendix, beginning on page A-5.
CAUTION
