     performance upgrade notices We occasionally offer software updates to our products, providing new fea- tures and control options. In the case of the CVP2, these updates are easily done without even opening up the unit, via flash-memory. If they include fea- tures you would like to have, you can get them—if you know about them.

    It is normal and perfectly safe for your CVP2 to run slightly warm. Be sure to ventilation allow 2 to 3 inches of clearance above it to allow heat dissipation through air circulation.
  • Page 7: Serial Number

    The serial number for your CVP2 is found on the rear panel of the unit. Please serial number note and record this number for your future reference. Having found the serial number, now would be a good time to fill out the reg- register your purchase! istration card.

    There are no user-serviceable parts within the unit. Please refer any problems to an authorized Proceed service center. The CVP2 can easily be powered by a normal 15-ampere AC mains line, as it draws only a few watts of power. If other devices are also powered from the same AC line, their additional power consumption should be taken into ac- count.
