Location Considerations
The SDP-3 is a highly specialized signal processing computer and
requires special care during installation to ensure optimum perfor-
mance.
The SDP-3 may be installed on a shelf or in a standard 19" equipment
rack, using the supplied rack mount ears. Observe the following
precautions:
•
Select a dry, well-ventilated location out of direct sunlight.
•
Do not stack the SDP-3 directly above heat-producing equipment such as power
amplifiers.
•
Avoid placing the SDP-3 near unshielded TV or FM antennas, cable TV decoders, or
other receivers. The SDP-3 may interfere with some FM tuners if it is placed
immediately above or below them. Some products, particularly power amplifiers, may
cause hum if they are in close proximity.
•
Make sure the SDP-3 front panel IR receiver window is unobstructed. The remote
control must be in line-of-sight to this receiver for proper operation. If line-of-sight is
impractical, an infrared remote repeater can be used with the rear panel IR connector.
The SDP-3 may be placed in a glass-doored cabinet but smoked glass will make the
front panel display difficult to read and will reduce the sensitivity of the IR receiver.
AC Connections
The SDP-3 is designed to be connected to an uninterrupted AC power
line in the same manner as a VCR or a television. We recommend the
use of an AC line filter to protect against line surges, or the installation
of a line conditioner to protect against under voltage (brownouts) as well
as overvoltage conditions.
The SDP-3 has a master power switch on the rear panel above the IEC
standard AC power receptacle. This switch may be left ON continuously
when the unit is in regular use. When the SDP-3 will not be used for an
extended period of time, or whenever you are connecting or disconnect-
ing any cables to the unit, this switch should be turned OFF.
Connect the power cable to the SDP-3, then plug the power cord into a
wall outlet or into an unswitched outlet on a surge protector. Be sure that
the power cord is firmly seated in the connector on the rear panel of the
SDP-3.
