INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

• Placing and using the unit for long periods on heat-generating

sources such as amplifiers or near spotlights, etc. will affect
product performance. Avoid placing the unit on heat-generating
sources.

• Install this unit as far as possible away from tuners and TV sets.

A unit installed in close proximity to such equipment may cause
noise or degradation of the picture. Noise may be noticeable
when an indoor antenna is used. In such cases, make use of an
outdoor antenna or turn off power to the unit.

• When the unit is used in a loud-sound environment, e.g., near a

speaker, sound skip may occur. Install the unit away from the
speaker or reduce the listening volume.

• Place this unit on a level surface and a stable platform.
• Do not place heavy objects on top of the unit.

Be sure the unit, including USB cable, does not touch vibrating
materials. Any cause of vibration other than the insulators may
cause sound skip.
Take special care when using the unit while it is installed in a
carrying case.

Installing the SEP-C1 in an EIA rack

The screw holes on the front panel of the SEP-C1 are designed for
use in attaching the unit to a 19-inch EIA rack.
This unit complies with 3U specifications. Maximum depth of unit
is 83.5 mm.
• Attach the unit to the rack using screws of the appropriate size

(screws not provided with the unit).

About carrying cases

The jog dial is equipped with a delicate switch. If the unit is placed
in a carrying case, take precautions to prevent any pressure from
being exerted on the surface of the jog dial.

Condensation

When this unit is brought into a warm room from previously cold
surroundings or when the room temperature rises sharply,
condensation may form inside the unit and impair its
performance. In such cases, allow the unit to stand for about an
hour or raise the room temperature gradually.

Cleaning the unit

To clean the unit wipe with a polishing or a soft, dry cloth. For
stubborn dirt, moisten a soft cloth with a weak solution of neutral
detergent (diluted in five to six parts water), wring the cloth well,
and wipe away the dirt. Use a dry cloth to wipe the surface dry. Do
not use volatile liquids such as benzene or thinner which will
damage to the unit.

Applying alcohol, paint thinner, benzene, insecticides, or other
stringent substances to the jog dial may cause the markings or
finishing of the dial to peel or become discolored, and the use of
any such substances should accordingly be avoided.

NOTE

• Do not install the unit immediately above a power amplifier,

since damage may occur from the heat produced by the
amplifier, or humming or other noise may be caused.

• When transporting the unit, remove the unit from its rack.

Attempting to move the rack with the unit installed may
result in damage to the unit.

• If the unit must be moved while still in its rack, take

precautions to protect the unit from vibration and impact.

Do not allow contact
with vibrating surfaces.

To assure proper
heat-dissipation, be
sure to maintain this
open space.
