Installation & Placement
The MOON CP-8 Surround Processor / Preamplifier should be placed on a rigid surface to prevent any accidents such as
falling over. It is highly recommended that it sits on its own dedicated shelf. You should never place another component on
top of this Surround Processor. As well, you should avoid placing it near a heat source or inside a closed cabinet that is not
well ventilated. This could compromise the CP-8's performance and reliability.
In the event that you intend to place your CP-8 in a rack mount type installation, Middle Atlantic Products, Inc. offers a rack
& enclosure specifically tailored to the MOON CP-8. If you choose to use another rack mounting system, please refer to
specifications section at the end of this owner's manual for the CP-8's exact dimensions
By default, the MOON CP-8 is configured for 5.1 channel operation. To activate 7.1 channel operation, please refer to the
section entitled Manual Setup – "Amp Assign" (page 38).
Finally, you should make all of your audio and video signal connections prior to making the AC connection between the CP-8
and the AC wall outlet.
