1. INSTALLATION LOCATION
- To ensure proper operation and to avoid the potential for safety hazards, place
the unit on a firm and level surface. When placing the unit on a shelf, be certain
that the shelf and any mounting hardware can support the amplifier's weight.
- Make certain that the proper space is provided both above and below the unit
for ventilation. If the amplifier will be installed in a cabinet or other enclosed area,
make certain that there is sufficient air movement within the cabinet. Consult with
your dealer or installer for more information.
- Do not place the unit directly on a carpeted surface.
- Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold locations, in an area that is exposed
to direct sunlight or near heating equipment.
- Avoid moist or humid locations.
- Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the top of the unit or place objects di-
rectly over them. Remember, power amplifiers generate heat, and the heatsink
fins and ventilation slots that form part of the cabinet are specially designed to
remove this heat.
Placing other electronic equipment near these heat dissipation systems may
possibly affect the long-term reliability of both your amplifier and the objects
placed above it. The shipping materials used to protect your new amplifier were
specially designed to cushion it from shipping' shock and vibration. We suggest
that you save the carton and packing materials for use in shipping if you move or
if the unit ever needs repair.
