Unpacking and Placement
unpacking the
audio video preamplifier
Unpack your Audio Video Preamplifier and remove all accessories from the
carton.
Important! Keep all packing materials for future transport of your Audio
Video Preamplifier. Shipping your new component in anything
other than its purpose-designed packing material may result
in damage that is not covered by the warranty.
remote control Your AVP2 includes a small remote control that covers the basics of turning the
unit on and off, selecting something to listen to or to watch, and adjusting vol-
ume. It is designed to make day-to-day operation of the system as simple as
possible.
Alternatively, you may decide that you would prefer to have a more powerful or
versatile remote control. Your dealer can assist you in selecting a learning remote
control that is appropriate to your needs, and can then teach the new remote
control all the necessary AVP2 commands from the AVP2 itself. The AVP2 can
transmit as well as receive IR commands, and its menu system contains an exten-
sive list of available commands for learning remote controls (going far beyond
what is normally available in such products).
placement Place the Audio Video Preamplifier near the digital sources, thus keeping inter-
connecting cables reasonably short. It may be placed on a shelf or in a cabinet
where it’s convenient to operate.
Note that adequate clearance for the AC cord and connecting
cables must be left behind the Audio Video Preamplifier. We suggest
leaving at least three inches of free space behind the Audio Video
Preamplifier to allow all cables sufficient room to bend without
crimping or undue strain.
ventilation It is normal and perfectly safe for your Audio Video Preamplifier to run warm. Be
sure to allow 2 to 3 inches of clearance above it to allow heat dissipation through
air circulation. The vents on both the bottom and the top of the Audio Video
Preamplifier must be kept free from any obstruction which would reduce the
flow of air through the unit. Avoid placement on soft surfaces that would restrict
airflow (such as carpeting).
custom installations Drawings are included in this manual to facilitate special installations and custom
cabinetry (see Dimensions). An optional, purpose-designed rack mount kit is
