Installation
This product should be installed by a qualifi ed custom electronics installer.
1. Stacking. Follow these steps if you are installing this product in a stack with one or more Model
1170s.
a. Lay the Model 1171 upside down on a protective surface, such as a terrycloth towel.
b. Remove the four feet and the bus port cover and save them and their attaching screws for
later use.
c. Plug one end of the bus cable (purchased separately) into the connector visible through the
bus port—apply enough pressure with a wooden or plastic tool to assure that the plug is
completely seated. A center polarizing key is located on the top of each bus plug. Note that
there is a right end and a wrong end to the bus cable.
d. Turn the Model 1170 to be stacked upside down, thread the bus cable through its bus ports,
and engage its four threaded studs with the four threaded holes in the Model 1171 formerly
occupied by the feet.
e. Tighten the hex head screws in the bottom of the stacking product in sequence a few turns
each, until they are all lightly snug.
f. Plug the next plug of the bus cable into the connector as in 1.c.
g. Continue this stacking procedure until all units have been stacked. Always plug the last
connector of the bus into the bottom unit, pushing any excess cable into the empty space
inside the unit. View the bus through the bus port to be sure all plugs are fully seated.
h. Install the bus port cover and feet you removed from Model 1171 on the bottom Model 1170
and turn the stack right side up.
2. Rack Mount Adapters. Do these steps if you are installing this product or a stack of products in a
19-inch equipment rack.
a. Remove the cover screws adjacent to the front panel of each product and use them to mount
Model 1191 rack adapters. Be sure to place a cylindrical metal spacer under the adapters at
every screw location.
b. Use a straightedge to line up rack adapters on a stack of product.
3. Placement. Place the Model 1171 or stack on its shelf or in the rack. If rack mounting, secure the
1171 or stack to the rails with the screws supplied with the rack adapter kits.
4. Source Hookup. Connect the source in these steps.
a. Connect the source unit to the RCA input jacks. Use good quality cable and keep the runs
under 6 feet if possible, especially for Component Video connections.
