UNPACKING AND PLACEMENT GUIDELINES
Unpacking Your Model 7100
Carefully unpack your Model 7100 from its shipping carton and locate all the enclosed accessories:
•
Remote control carton, contents: SRC1 remote control,
four AAA batteries, its own user’s manual and a DVD tutorial
•
AC Power cord, two DC trigger connector wires, with small plugs at each. If both plugs are
2.5mm sub-mini type, 3.5-mm mini plug adapters are included. If wires have a 2.5mm plug
at one end and 3.5mm plug at the other no adapter is required.
While you are unpacking your Model 7100, inspect it thoroughly for possible shipping damage
and tell your Parasound dealer right away if you find any. If possible, save and store both the inner
and outer cartons and — most especially — the foam packing inserts, so you can use them to
protect the Model 7100 if you have to move it or ship it. You can flatten the cartons to save room
in storage by cutting the taped seams on the bottom flaps.
Placement Guidelines
The Model 7100 will be easy to use and will last longer if you follow these simple guidelines:
•
Place the Model 7100 on a shelf that will adequately support its weight.
•
Unless you’ll control the Model 7100 through a remote infrared sensor/repeater system,
pick a shelf placed where you can aim the remote controls at the Model 7100 easily. (If you
do use remote sensors, be sure the remote’s beams can’t reach both the IR repeater’s sen-
sor and unit’s front-panel sensors at the same time.)
If you’re installing the Model 7100 yourself, use cables that are long enough to leave at least
two feet of slack; that enables you to pull the Model 7100 out to change connections without
inadvertently disconnecting things. If you’re putting the Model 7100 in a cabinet, make sure
there’s grab space on each side; with a space that’s at least 22 inches wide, you’ll be able to
turn it around for access to its rear panel connections.
Rack Mounting Your Parasound Model 7100
With its four feet removed, the Model 7100’s front panel height occupies three rack spaces (5
1
⁄
4
”
or 133 mm; a single standard rack space occupies 1
3
⁄
4
” vertical space.) For mounting in a standard
19” equipment rack, you must use the Parasound RMK33 rack mount kit (purchased separately).
The RMK33 includes four bolts and eight plastic washers with raised “shoulders.”
Slide one washer onto each mounting bolt with its raised shoulder pointing toward the panel hole.
Carefully insert the bolt through the hole and slide the other washer on the bolt with its raised
shoulder facing the rear side of the panel. The washers will sandwich the Model 7100 panel
and the four mounting bolts to prevent metal-to-metal contact between the Model 7100
chassis, the equipment rack, and the other components mounted in the rack.
Note:
Tighten each bolt just enough to keep the unit secure
in the rack to avoid deforming the shoulder washers.
