Installation
Installation
The MCD301 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 MCD301 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 MCD301 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 MCD301.
Cool operation
ensures the
longest pos-
sible operat-
ing life for
any electronic
instrument.
Do not install
the MCD301
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
possible oper-
ating tempera-
ture.
A custom cabi-
net installation
should provide
the follow-
ing minimum
spacing dimen-
sions for cool
operation.
Allow at least 2 inches (5.08cm) above the top, 2 inches
(5.08cm) below the bottom and 1 inch (2.54cm) on each
side of the SACD/CD Player, so that airflow is not ob-
structed. Allow 17 inches (43.18cm) depth behind the front
panel. Allow 1-1/8 inch (2.9cm) in front of the mounting
panel for knob clearance. Be sure to cut out a ventilation
hole in the mounting shelf according to the dimensions in
the drawing.
