Installation
The MC7205 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 required
panel cutout, ventilation cutout and unit dimensions are
shown.
Always provide adequate ventilation for your MC7205.
Cool operation ensures the longest possible operating life
for any electronic instrument. Do not install the MC7205
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 defi-
nite asset in maintaining all the system components at the
coolest possible operating temperature.

A custom cabinet installation should provide the follow-
ing minimum spacing dimensions for cool operation. Allow
a ventilation opening of 6 inches (15.24 cm) in height, run-
ning the full width of the front panel, directly above the
front top of the MC7205. Provide additional ventilation of
2 inches (3.81cm) below the bottom and 1 inch (2.54 cm)
on each side of the amplifier, so that airflow is not ob-
structed. Allow 21 inches (53.3 cm) depth behind the
mounting panel, which includes clearance for connectors.
Allow 1-1/8 inches (2.9 cm) in front of the mounting panel
for knob clearance. Be sure to cut out a ventilation hole in
the mounting shelf according to the dimensions in the
drawing.
