Unpacking and Installation
The carton and shipping materials used to protect your new PT2500 during ship- ment were specially designed to cushion it from shock and vibration. We suggest that you save the carton and packing materials for use in shipping if you move or should the unit ever need repair.
To minimize the size of the carton in storage, you may wish to flatten it. This is done by carefully removing any staples that attach the carton flaps to one anoth- er, and then slitting the tape covering the seams. Fold the carton down to a more two dimensional appearance. Packing materials that cannot be collapsed should be saved along with the carton in a plastic bag.
If you do not wish to save the packaging materials, please note that the carton and other sections of the shipping protec- tion are recyclable. Please respect the environment and discard those materials at a local recycling center.
When positioning your PT2500 in its final location, make certain that any shelf or stand is capable of supporting it’s weight, and that there is adequate venti- lation on all sides, as well as on the top and bottom. Do not place CDs, record jackets, owner’s manuals, or other paper on top of, or beneath the unit. This will block air flow, causing degraded perfor- mance and a possible fire hazard. If the unit is to be enclosed in a cabinet or rack, make certain that there is adequate air circulation, with a means provided for hot air to exit, and for cool air to be brought in.
Using this Manual
For easy identification of the inputs, out- puts and controls on the PT2500, a sepa- rate reference card accompanies this manual. Printed on that card are dia- grams of the front and rear panels and the remote control. Refer to that card as needed to make certain that connections are being made properly.
The following conventions are used throughout this manual when referring to the diagrams on the reference card:
1: A number within a square references a front panel control.
Á: A number within a circle references a connection point on the rear panel.
a: A number within an oval references a button on the remote control.
Example : Bold type will be used to indi- cate a front or rear panel control. It will typically be followed with a reference let- ter or number to the specific control being described.
EXAMPLE: OCR type indicates a mes- sage that is visible through the display window.
