MclNTOSH PANLOC MOUNTING SYSTEM
INSTALLATION
The PANLOC system of installing equipment is a product of Mclntosh research. Two steel
PANLOC mounting shelves are attached to the front panel at each side of the panel cutout,
using the screws and brackets provided. The C36 has runners on the bottom of its chassis,
allowing it to slide into the shelves. When the unit has been positioned fully into the cabinet
and its front panel rests against the cabinet panel, it can be locked into position. Turn each
PANLOC button one-quarter turn clockwise to lock. Turn counterclockwise to unlock the unit
so it can be removed from the cabinet.
UNPACKING
Open the carton and remove the PANLOC shelves, the hardware package and the mount-
ing template. Lift the C36 up off the shipping pallet and remove the plastic bag. The C36
is now ready for shelf or table top installation.

side of the amplifier chassis engage the tracks on the PANLOC shelves. Slide the unit com-
pletely into the cabinet until the back edge of its front panel is pressing gently against the
front of the cabinet panel. Turn the PANLOC buttons approximately one quarter turn clockwise
to lock the unit in the cabinet. Turn the PANLOC buttons one quarter turn counterclockwise
to unlock the unit so it can be removed from the cabinet.
CUSTOM INSTALLATION
1. MARK THE CABINET FRONT PANEL
Tape the plastic mounting template to the cabinet panel in the position where the unit is
to be mounted. The broken lines that represent the outline of the rectangular cutout also repre-
sent the outside dimensions of the C36 chassis. Make sure these lines clear any shelves,
partitions or any other equipment mounted in the same cabinet. With the template in place,
first mark the six A and B holes, and the four small holes that locate the corners of the cutout.
Then join the four corner markings with a ruler or straightedge.
