Installation
The MCT80 can be placed upright on a table or
shelf, standing on its four feet. It also can be custom
installed in a piece of furniture or cabinet of your
choice. The four feet may be removed from the bottom
of the MCT80 when it is custom installed as outlined
below. The four feet together with the mounting
screws should be retained for possible future use if the
MCT80 is removed from the custom installation and
used free standing. The required panel cutout, ventila-
tion cutout and unit dimensions are shown.
Always provide adequate ventilation for your
MCT80. Cool operation ensures the longest possible
operating life for any electronic instrument. Do not
install the MCT80 directly above a heat generating
component such as a high powered amplifier. If all
the components are installed in a single cabinet, a
quiet running ventilation fan can be a definite asset in
maintaining all the system components at the coolest
possible operating temperature.
A custom cabinet installation should provide the
following minimum spacing dimensions for cool
operation.
Allow at least 2 inches (5.1cm) above the top, 2
inches (5.1cm) below the bottom and 1 inch (2.5cm) on
each side of the SACD/CD Transport, so that airflow
is not obstructed. Allow 17 inches (43.2cm) depth be-
hind the front panel. Allow 1-1/8 inch (2.9cm) in front
of the mounting panel for knob clearance. Be sure to
cut out a ventilation hole in the mounting shelf accord-
ing to the dimensions in the drawing.
