SDP-2 Digital Surround Sound Processor/Controller
Connection
The SDP-2 is a highly specialized signal processing computer and requires

special care during installation to ensure optimum performance.
Considerations
The SDP-2 may be installed ona
shelf or in a standard 19" equipment rack,
using the rack-mounting hardware provided. Observe the following pre-
cautions:
* Selecta dry, well-ventilated location out of direct sunlight.
¢ Donot stack the SDP-2 directly above heat-producing equipment such
as power amplifiers.
¢ Avoid placing the SDP-2 near unshielded TV or FM antennas, cable TV
decoders, or other receivers. The SDP-2 may interfere with some FM
tuners if itis placed immediately above or below them. Some products,
particularly power amplifiers, may cause hum in the SDP-2 if they arein
close proximity.
* Make sure the SDP-2 front panel IR receiver window is unobstructed.
The remote control must be in line-of-sight to this receiver for proper
operation. If line-of-sight is impractical, an infrared remote repeater can
be used with the rear panel IR connector. The SDP-2 may be placed ina
glass-doored cabinet but smoked glass will make the front panel Liquid
Crystal Display (LCD) difficult to read and will reduce the sensitivity of
the IR receiver.
The SDP-2 is designed to be connected to an uninterrupted AC powerline
AC Connections
in the same manner as a VCR or a television. We recommend the use of an
AC line filter to protect against line surges, or the installation of a line
conditioner to protect against under voltage (brownouts) as well as over-
voltage conditions.
The SDP-2 has a master power switch on the rear panel above the IEC
standard AC power receptacle. This switch may be left ON continuously
when the unit is in regular use. When the SDP-2 will not be used for an
extended period of time, or whenever you are connecting or disconnecting
any cables to the unit, this switch should be turned OFF.
Connect the power cable to the SDP-2, then plug the power cord into a wall
outlet or into an unswitched outlet on a surge protector. Be sure that the
power cord is firmly seated in the connector on the rear panel of the
SDP-2.
