PLAYER LOCATION
The MCD 7007 may be installed in a Mclntosh
cabinet or custom installed in furniture of your
choice. Always provide adequate ventilation. Never
place it above heat generating components such as
high powered amplifiers. Provide 1½ inches (3 cm) of
space above the player to maintain with a cooling air
flow. Always use the compact disc player horizontal-
ly, out of direct sunlight and away from other heat
sources.
REMOVE THE TRANSIT SCREWS
On the bottom of the player are two screws which
lock the player mechanism to protect it during
transportation. Remove these screws and keep them
in a safe place. If the player is to be transported
these screws must be replaced to prevent damage.
CUSTOM INSTALLATION
The PANLOC system of installing equipment con-
veniently and securely, is a product of Mclntosh
research. The PANLOC buttons on the front panel
will lock the unit firmly in place when turned ap-
proximately one-quarter turn clockwise. A one-
quarter counterclockwise turn of the PANLOC but-
tons unlocks the chassis from its mounting,
To install the instrument in a Mclntosh cabinet,
follow the instructions that are enclosed with the
cabinet. For any other type of installation follow
these instructions:
1. Unpack from Carton
Open the carton and remove the PANLOC brackets,
hardware package, and mounting template. Remove
the instrument from its plastic bag and place it up-
side down on the shipping pallet. Unscrew the four
plastic feet from the bottom of the chassis and
unscrew and remove the transit screws. When the in-
strument is transported, damage can occur unless its
transit screws are in place. Keep the transit screws in
a safe place for use should you transport the unit.
cd. The broken lines that represent the outline of
the rectangular cutout also represent the outside
dimensions of the chassis. Make sure these lines
clear shelves, partitions, or any equipment. With the
template in place, first mark the six A and B holes
and the four small holes that locate the corners of
the cutout. Then, join the four corner markings with
pencil lines, using the edge of the template as a
straightedge.
3. Drill Holes
Use a drill with a 3/16 inch (5 mm) bit held perpen-
dicular to the panel and drill the six A and B holes.
Then, using a drill bit slightly larger than the tip of
your saw blade, drill one hole at each of two diago-
nally opposite corners. The holes should barely
touch the inside edge of the penciled outline. Before
taking the next step, make sure that the six A and B
holes have been drilled.
2. Mark the Cabinet Panel
Tape the mounting template in position on the
cabinet panel where the instrument is to be install-
4. Saw the Panel Cutout
Saw carefully on the inside of the penciled lines.
First make the two long cuts and then the two short
cuts. After the rectangular opening has been cut out,
use a file to square the corners and smooth any ir-
regularities in the cut edges.
5. Install the Mounting Strips
In the hardware package you will find two mounting
strips, and two sets of machine screws. For panels
that are less than 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) thick, use the
3/4 inch (19.1 mm) screws; for panels that are more
than 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) thick, use the 1-1/4 inch (31.8
mm) screws.
Starting at the right-hand side of the panel, insert a
screw of the proper length into the center hole in
the panel, marked B on the template. On the back of
the panel, align a mounting strip with the holes in
the panel and tighten the screw until the screwhead
is pulled into the wood.
