Installation
The MVP861 can be placed upright on a table or shelf,
standing on its four feet. The four feet, may be removed
from the bottom of the MVP861 when it is custom installed
as outlined below. The four feet, together with the mount-
ing screws should be retained for possible future use if the
MVP861 is removed from the custom installation and used
free standing. It also can be custom installed in a piece of
furniture or cabinet of your choice. The required panel cut-
out, ventilation cutout and unit dimensions are shown.
Always provide adequate ventilation for your MVP861.
Cool operation
ensures the
longest pos-
sible operating
life for any
electronic in-
strument. Do
not install the
MVP861 di-
rectly above a
heat generat-
ing component
such as a high
powered am-
plifier. If all
the compo-
nents are in-
stalled in a
single cabinet,
a quiet run-
ning ventila-
tion fan can be
a definite asset
in maintaining
all the system
components at
the coolest
possible oper-
ating tempera-
ture.

ing panel for clearance. When the DVD/CD tray is opened,
the panel clearance required in front of mounting panel is
