Connections and
Installation
The Ayre AX-5 is easy to use. The following
guidelines will ensure that the installation goes
smoothly.
As shipped from the factory, none of
the inputs are activated. The desired
inputs are activated by assigning them
names as described in the following
chapter, “Setup and Configuration”.
Location
Do not stack the Ayre AX-5
directly with other
components, as this may
restrict the air flow or induce
hum into the audio circuitry.
A good location for your integrated amplifier is in
an open-backed cabinet or on a shelf. The AX-5
produces a moderate amount of heat during
operation. Be sure to provide at least three inches
(75 mm) of air space above the amplifier.
An adequate supply of air flow will
avoid overheating the amplifier.
The infrared beam will also
travel through glass.
The receiver for the remote control is behind the
display lens on the front panel. A line of sight from
the listening position will ensure maximum range.
