After all the tubes have been inserted into the correct
sockets, the tube cover must to be installed before op-
erating the MC2000. Locate the tube cover and the
two long fastening screws and perform the following
steps:
Installing the Tube Cover:
1. Orient the MC2000 so the Front Panel is facing
you.
2. Remove the two shipping screws from the
MC2000 Chassis with the supplied screw-
driver, refer to figure 5.
3. The Tube Cover has a wide opening along one
side of its longer dimension. Orient this wide
opening so that it is facing towards you.
4. Insert the supplied long screws into each top
side of the tube cover so they extend below the
bottom edge.
5. Carefully place the Tube Cover onto the
MC2000 while at the same time aligning the
screws with the openings on the MC2000
Chassis, refer to figure 6.
6. Using the supplied
screwdriver secure
the tube cover to the
chassis, do not over
tighten the screws.
Location and
ventilation
Adequate ventilation ex-
tends the trouble free life
of any electronic instru-
ment. The suggested
minimum space for
mounting the MC2000 is
20 inches (50.8cm) in
width, 22 inches
(55.9cm) depth, and 17
inches (43.18cm) in
height. Always allow air
to flow through the venti-
lation holes on the bot-
tom of the amplifier and
a means for the warm air
to escape at the top. If all
the components are installed in a single cabinet, one
or more quiet running ventilation fans can be a defi-
nite help in maintaining all the system components at
their coolest possible operating temperatures. Refer to
figure 7.
