E.BASIC INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
1.Place the unit on a clean level surface awayfrom excessive heat, moistureor light. Ideally, the-MD-2 should be placed on the top of an audio componentcabi- net or other "openair" rigid platform.
2.The MD-2maybe placed in a cabinet. It will require. 17.0 inches of verticaIclearance betweenthe bottom and top shelves for proper operation of the cover.
3.If space is limited the MD-2can be operated without its dust cover. Six inches vertical clearanceis adequateto allow convenientaccess to the disc transport area.
4.Thelocation of the unit should be within 2 meters of the digital signal processor.If longer distance is required, werecommendusing a fibre optic data link as it is more suited to long distance runs.
5.Connectthe ACpowercord to the back of the unit. Oncethe powercord is secured, plug the cord into an AC outlet.
Whenthe MD-2is connected to the ACoutlet you will hear a soft clicking soundand the display on the front will showtwoilluminated dashes. This puts the unit in a standby condition.
NOTE:While the MD-2has superb regulation and does not require a dedicated ACcircuit, westrongly advise against any connections through extension cords or mul- tiple ACadaptors. High quality 15 ampgrounded AC strips are acceptable.
6. Connectthe Digital Output from the MD-2to a Krell
Digital Processor or other compatibledigital-to-analog audio processor. The MD-2is compatible with both industry standard Fibre Optic or Coaxial cable connec-
tors.~'/i
Care should be taken in selecting th~ type of cable used to link the MD-to2 your processor. If coaxial cable is to be used it should be 75o1~m,non-capacitive, with a band- width in excess of 10 MHzto prevent dropout errors.
CAUTION:The MD-2is a CDTransport only. It is not designed to connect directly to any preampor analog signal processor.
