Parasound Halo T 3 - Manual (Page 4)

UNPACKING AND PLACEMENT GUIDELINES FOR THE T 3
Unpacking Your T 3
Carefully unpack your T 3 from the shipping carton and remove all the enclosed accessories:
• Remote control with two AAA batteries
• Detachable AC cord
• FM Folded Dipole 300
Ω Antenna
• FM 300 ohm to 75 Ω balun matching transformer
• AM loop antenna
• Trigger control wire with a 2.5 mm sub-mini plug on each end.
While you are unpacking your new tuner, inspect it thoroughly for possible shipping damage. If
you see any, contact your Parasound dealer right away. Be sure to save and store both the inner
and outer cartons and packing inserts for possible future transport. To save room for storage, you
can cut the seams on the bottom of the cartons and flatten them.
Placement Guidelines of Your T 3
For trouble-free operation and long-term reliability, please follow the simple guidelines below to
help decide where to locate your T 3 in your system.
• Place the T 3 on a separate shelf that will adequately support its weight.
• Keep it away from heat sources such as air ducts or radiators.
• Leave at least 1” of space on all sides and the top. This helps facilitate passive
heat dissipation.
• Keep it away from computers that may interfere with its reception.
Rack Mounting Your Parasound T 3
If you plan to mount the T 3 into a standard 19” wide equipment rack, you will need to purchase
the optional Parasound HRA 2 Rack Mount Adapter. With its four feet removed, the T 3 chassis
and front panel height occupies two rack spaces (3-1/2” or 88mm). When mounting equipment
below the T 3, you will also need to allow about 1/8” below the unit for the bottom chassis
screws. A single standard rack space allows 1-3/4” horizontal inches in a 19-inch wide
equipment rack. This measurement standard was developed by the EIA (Electronic Industries
Association) so manufacturers of electronic components and equipment racks could build
products in standardized heights that would fit in a uniform space. Please call your Parasound
dealer or call directly to Parasound Technical Services if you need additional advice about rack
mounting the T 3.
