Unpacking
Remove the remote control handset and the AC cord which are packed separately inside the carton. We
recommend using only this specially selected cord for the best musical reproduction.
Save your carton and inserts for future safe transport in case you move or the unit requires shipping for
repair. The printed carton itself is not strong enough for safe shipping, so you must place this carton
into an additional outer "overcarton" before shipment.
Before you proceed, find the serial number which is located on the rear panel of the unit and note it here
for future reference or in case the unit is ever stolen ____________________
Placement
Keep your Parasound P/LD-2000 shaded from direct sunlight which can interfere with its remote control
sensor. It should be placed away from moisture or heat sources such as hot air registers or radiators. If
you stack your components, we suggest you place your P/LD-2000 below or alongside other
components which may generate heat. Proximity to some power amplifiers may contaminate low level
signals with radiated hum from their transformers.
