Unpacking and Placement

Unpack your Proceed® PAV audio video preamplifier and keep all packing ma- terials for future transport. Locate and remove all accessory items from the cartons. Accessories include:

1 AC power cord

1 PAV remote control

4 alkaline batteries for the remote control

Your PAV has been shipped with software pre-installed that enables it to work seamlessly with a Proceed PDSD as part of a high performance, two-piece multichannel controller. If you need to use the PAV by itself (without a PDSD), your dealer must install the enclosed EPROM found in a small black anti- static box. Do not attempt to install this yourself, as only qualified technicians may open the unit without voiding the warranty!

Turn the remote control over and slide the battery compartment cover up and away from the body of the remote. Insert the four alkaline batteries found in the Accessories kit, being careful to follow the polarity indications given on the inside of the battery compartment. Replace the battery cover.

Place the PAV near the source equipment, thus keeping interconnecting cables reasonably short. It may be placed on a shelf or in a cabinet where it’s conve- nient to operate.

Note that adequate clearance for the AC cord and connecting cables must be left behind the PAV. We suggest leaving at least three inches of free space behind the PAV to allow all cables sufficient room to bend without crimping or undue strain.

It is normal for your PAV to run quite warm. Be sure to allow 2 to 3 inches of clearance above the PAV to allow heat dissipation through air circulation. The vents on both the bottom and the top of the PAV must be kept free from any ob- struction which would reduce the flow of air through the unit. The best rule of thumb is this: if the top of your PAV is too hot to touch, it needs better ventila- tion. If so, consider drilling holes in the supporting shelf under the PAV to pro- mote flow-through ventilation, or use fans to increase air circulation. Avoid place- ment on soft surfaces that would restrict airflow (such as carpeting).

Mechanical drawings are included in this manual to facilitate special installations and custom cabinet work (see “Dimensions” at the end of this manual).
