E. BASIC INSTALLATION AND
CONNECTIONS
1. Place the unit on a clean, level surface away from
excessive heat, moist,ure or light. Ideally, the MD-20
should be placed on tlae top of an audio component cabi-
net or other "open air" rigid platform.
2. The MD-20 may. be. placed in a cabinet. It will require.
17.0 inches of vertical clearance between the bottom ancl
top shelves for proper operation of the cover.
3. I.f space is limited, the MD-20 can be operated without
its clust cover. Six inches vertical clearance is adequate to
allow convenient access to the disc transport area.
4. The location of the unit should be within 2 meters of
the digital signal processor. If longer distanc, e is re~quired,
we recommend using an AT&T fibre optic clata linl~ o.r an
AES/EBU balanced i:lata link, as they are more suitecl to
long distance runs.
5. Connect the AC power cord to the back of the unit.
Once the power cord is secured, plug the cord into an AC
outlet.
6. Press the POWER
button on the front panel. The dis-
play will illuminate and the transport willnow be active.
NOTE: While the MD-20 has superb regulation and does
not require a dedicated AC circuit, we strongly advise
against any. connections through extension cords or mul-
tiple AC ai:laptors. High quality 15 amp grounded AC
sti-ips are acceptable.
7. Connect the Digital Output from the MD-20 to a Krell
Dig!tal Processor or other compatible digital-to-analog
aualo processor.
The MD-20 is compatible with industry standard Fibre
~Optic, Coaxial RCA, AT&T wide bandwidth Fibre Optic
bl' type and AES/EBU XLR output connectors.
NOTE: Care should be taken in selecting the type_ of
cable used to lin.k the MD-20 to your processor. We
recommend botla the AT&T Fibre Optic due to its supe-
rior bandwidth and, signal isolation properties, and tile
AES/EBU format clue to its higher voltage transmission
and noise rejection due to balanced format.
