Unpacking and Placement
Unpacking Unpack your Proceed ® PAV audio video preamplifier and keep all packing
materials for future transport . Locate and remove all accessory items from
the cartons. Accessories include:
1 AC power cord
1 PAV remote control
4 alkaline batteries for the remote control
Important! Your PAV has been shipped with software pre-installed that
enables it to work seamlessly with a Proceed PDSD as part of
a high performance, two-piece multichannel controller. If you
need to use the PAV by itself (without a PDSD), your dealer
must install the enclosed EPROM found in a small black anti-
static box. Do not attempt to install this yourself, as only
qualified technicians may open the unit without voiding the
warranty!
Installing Batteries in
the Remote Control
Turn the remote control over and slide the battery compartment cover up and
away from the body of the remote. Insert the four alkaline batteries found in the
Accessories kit, being careful to follow the polarity indications given on the inside
of the battery compartment. Replace the battery cover.
Placement Place the PAV near the source equipment, thus keeping interconnecting cables
reasonably short. It may be placed on a shelf or in a cabinet where it’s conve-
nient to operate.
Note that adequate clearance for the AC cord and connecting
cables must be left behind the PAV. We suggest leaving at least
three inches of free space behind the PAV to allow all cables
sufficient room to bend without crimping or undue strain.
Ventilation It is normal for your PAV to run quite warm. Be sure to allow 2 to 3 inches of
clearance above the PAV to allow heat dissipation through air circulation. The
vents on both the bottom and the top of the PAV must be kept free from any ob-
struction which would reduce the flow of air through the unit. The best rule of
thumb is this: if the top of your PAV is too hot to touch, it needs better ventila-
tion. If so, consider drilling holes in the supporting shelf under the PAV to pro-
mote flow-through ventilation, or use fans to increase air circulation. Avoid place-
ment on soft surfaces that would restrict airflow (such as carpeting).
