MOON Stargate Processor

Installation Tips

The MOON Stargate Surround Processor / Preamplifier / D/A Converter should be placed on a rigid surface to prevent any accidents such as falling over. It is highly recommended that it sits on its own dedicated shelf.

You should never place another component on top of this Surround Processor. As well, you should avoid placing it near a heat source or inside a closed cabinet that is not well ventilated. This could compromise the Stargate’s performance and reliability.

In the event that you intend to place your Stargate in a rack mount type installation, we’ve made the setup as user-friendly as possible. Simply remove each of the two (2) vertically mounted silver colored aluminum cheeks found on either side of the front faceplate using an SAE 1/8 inch allen key; You will find two (2) screws located on the rear of each side of the front faceplate which hold each aluminum cheek in place. When removing these screws, make sure to keep one hand on the aluminum cheek so that it won’t fall and cause any damage. Once all four (4) screws have been removed, you will have exposed the four (4) rack mount holes and the MOON Stargate will be ready for mounting in a three

(3)rack space area. We recommend that you store the aluminum cheeks and their accompanying mounting screws in a safe place in the event that you require them in the future.

Finally, you should make all of your audio and video signal connections prior to making the AC connection between the Stargate and the AC wall outlet.
