Installation
The MCD201 can be placed upright on a table or shelf,
standing on its four feet. It also can be custom installed in
a piece of furniture or cabinet of your choice. The four feet
may be removed from the bottom of the MCD201 when it
is custom installed as outlined below. The four feet togeth-
er with the mounting screws should be retained for possible
future use if the MCD201 is removed from the custom
installation and used free standing. The required panel
cutout, ventilation cutout and unit dimensions are shown.
Always provide adequate ventilation for your MCD201.
Cool operation
ensures the
longest pos-
sible operat-
ing life for
any electronic
instrument.
Do not install
the MCD201
directly above
a heat generat-
ing compo-
nent such as a
high powered
amplifier. If
all the com-
ponents are
installed in a
single cabinet,
a quiet running
ventilation
fan can be a
definite asset
in maintaining
all the system
components at
the coolest pos-
sible operating
temperature.
A custom cabi-
net installation
should provide
the follow-
ing minimum
spacing dimen-
sions for cool
operation.
