Setup (location & cabling)

The location that you choose for your Model Eleven should take into account a number of factors including; adequate ventilation, line of sight for both the display and IR remote control sensor as well as the cable requirements for both the audio and video connections to other products in your system.

The Model Eleven generates notable waste heat during operation; therefore the player should never be used within a closed environment. There are two vents on the chassis of the Model Eleven, one on the underside located near the front panel on the left side and one on the rear panel near the power entry point. The natural convection flow caused by the self-heating draws fresh air into the underside vent and expels the hot air from the rear vent. In order to function properly the Model Eleven must be elevated from the surface that it rests upon. If the optional machined feet were purchased with your Model Eleven, then they should be installed in the three installation points on the underside of the chassis. Be certain to use the rigid nylon washers included with the machined feet to protect the chassis from damage. Use of non Muse provided feet might damage the Model Eleven as they lack the controlled fastener length. Internal damage caused by the use of non Muse supplied feet is not covered under warranty. Please consult either Muse or your Muse dealer before using any non Muse feet with your Model Eleven. If the optional feet were not included with your unit, then use the three standard rubber self adhesive feet (provided) to raise the Model Eleven to proper ventilation height. The rubber feet should be adhered to the three points (threaded fittings) normally occupied by the machined feet.

The Model Eleven should never be connected to a mains source (power outlet) other than the normal domestic service. Aftermarket “power conditioners” of the active variety (regeneration devices) can damage your Model Eleven and should never be used. Use only agency approved mains cords (such as provided with the Model Eleven) to assure safe and trouble
