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
directly 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.
