CP-1 Digital Audio Environment Processor

	Installation
The CP-1 may be installed on a shelf or in a standard 19" equipment rack,

using the optional rack-mounting hardware (Lexicon part #021-06639).
Connect the power cord to a wall outlet or to a switched outlet on the back
of your preamplifier. Observe the following precautions:
• Make sure the remote control receiver, located on the right side of the	Precautions
front panel, is unobstructed. The remote control must be in line of sight
to this receiver for proper operation. The CP-1 may be placed in a glass-
doored cabinet but smoked glass will make the display hard to read.
• Select a dry, well-ventilated location out of direct sunlight.
• Do not stack the CP-1 directly above heat-producing equipment such as
power amplifiers.
• Avoid placing the CP-1 near unshielded TV or FM antennas. The CP-1
may interfere with some FM tuners if it is placed immediately above or
below them.
• Install two AAA batteries in the CP-1’s remote control.
