Making the Cuts
Here are the dimensions for the cutouts needed for
custom installation. A ventilation opening is essential
for any installation with the four feet removed.
Securing the MX170 to a Shelf
A hardware package containing two “L” brackets and
two screws along with four washers can be used to
secure the MX170 A/V Processor to a shelf.
To secure the MX170 to a shelf using the supplied “L”
brackets:
• Remove the two screws in the lower corner on
the back of the MX170. See Figure 03.
• Attach the longer portion of the “L” bracket to
the rear of the MX170 using the same screw
just removed from the rear of the MX170 and
a supplied washer. Repeat for the other side.
Never use different size screws. The “L” bracket
should form a 90 degree angle with the lower
portion facing away from the rear of the unit
and resting on the shelf.
• Use the supplied screws and washers to attach
the lower portion of the “L” brackets to the
shelf.
