Dimensions

The following dimensions can assist in determining the best location for your MVP901. There is additional information on the next page pertaining to installing the MVP901 into cabinets.

Installation

The MVP901 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 MVP901 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 MVP901 is removed from the custom installation and used free standing. The required panel cutout, ventilation cutout and unit dimensions are shown.

Always provide adequate ventilation for your MVP901. Cool operation ensures the longest possible operating life for any electronic instrument. Do not install the MVP901 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 6 inches (15.24cm) above the top, 2 inches (5.08cm) below the bottom, 3 inches (7.62cm) behind the rear panel and 2 inches (5.08cm) on each side of the Audio Video Player, so that airflow is not obstructed. Do not block the ventilation holes on the top and bottom cover. Allow 1 inch (2.54 cm) in front of the mounting panel for clearance. When the DISC Tray is opened, the panel clearance required in front of mounting panel is 6-3/4 inches (17.2cm). Be sure to cut out a ventilation hole in the mounting shelf according to the dimensions in the drawing.

Rear Panel Connectors
