INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

The SDP-5 requires special care during installation to ensure optimal performance. Pay particular attention to the bulleted items that begin below and to other precautions that appear throughout this user guide.

Do . . .

•Install the SDP-5 on a solid, flat, level surface such as a table or shelf or in a standard 19-inch equipment rack using the enclosed rack-mount kit.

•Select a dry, well-ventilated location out of direct sunlight.

Do Not . . .

•Install the SDP-5 on a surface that is unstable or unable to support all four of its feet, unless it is installed in an equipment rack.

•Stack the SDP-5 directly above heat-producing equipment such as power amplifiers or other components that generate heat during use.

•Expose the SDP-5 to high temperatures, humidity, steam, smoke, dampness, or excessive dust. Avoid installing the SDP-5 near radiators and other heat-producing appliances.

•Install the SDP-5 near unshielded TV or FM antennas, cable TV decoders, and other RF-emitting devices that might cause interference.

Do Not . . .

•Place the SDP-5 on a thick rug or carpet or cover the SDP-5 with a cloth, as this might prevent proper cooling.

•Place the SDP-5 on a windowsill or in another location in which it will be exposed to direct sunlight.

•Obstruct the front panel IR receiver window shown on page 2-3. The remote control must be in line of sight with the IR receiver for proper operation. Refer to page 2-9 for more information about remote control operation considerations.

CAUTION Before moving the SDP-5, make sure it is powered off with the rear panel power switch. Then, make sure the power cord is

unplugged from the wall outlet.
