Where to put it
The MCD85 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.
Always provide adequate ventilation for your
MCD85. Cool operation ensures the longest possible
operating life for any electronic instrument. Do not
install the MCD85 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 ( Figure 02):
• 6 inches (15.3cm) above the top
• 5/8 inches (1.6cm) below the bottom
• 2 inches (5.1cm) on each side of the MCD85 so
that airflow is not obstructed
• 18 inches (45.7cm) depth behind the front panel
• 1-7/16 inch (3.7cm) in front of the mounting
panel for knob clearance
