Setting Up Your Lifestyle ® Stereo Amplifier
Selecting a location for your Lifestyle ® stereo amplifier
Select a location for your Lifestyle ® stereo amplifier and mount it according to the following guidelines.
CAUTION: DO NOT mount the amplifier on surfaces that are not sturdy enough, or that have hazards con-
cealed behind them, such as electrical wiring or plumbing. The amplifier must be placed indoors. It is nei-
ther designed nor tested for use outdoors or on boats.
Although the amplifier does not need to be situated close to either your Lifestyle ® system or the accessory
speakers, consider the following guidelines when selecting a location for your amplifier:
• Locate the amplifier indoors and within 8 feet (2.5 m) of a power outlet.
• Make sure that the amplifier is located within the reach of the supplied 30-foot audio input cable.
• Place the amplifier in an area where the maximum ambient temperature is less than 104
°
F (45
°
C).
• For optimum performance, place the amplifier in a well-ventilated area.
• DO NOT PLACE THE AMPLIFIER IN A COMPLETELY ENCLOSED AREA – If the amplifier is installed on a
shelf, or in a bookcase, or inside an entertainment center, maintain 2.0 inches (5.0 cm) minimum clearance
(Figure 2) on all sides of the amplifier with an open area of 3.0 inches (7.5 cm) minimum immediately above
it to allow for air flow. If adequate ventilation is not provided, the amplifier will automatically protect itself
by reducing its volume level in order to limit its temperature.
• DO NOT place the amplifier on any heat-sensitive surface, such as the finished surface of fine furniture.
Like all electrical equipment, it generates some heat.
• DO NOT use the amplifier in a damp location. It is important to prevent moisture from getting into the unit.

between the amplifier and
any material or surface.
• When mounting the amplifier on a horizontal surface like a floor or shelf (Figure 3), the amplifier’s rubber
feet provide stability and prevent scratches.

• To mount the amplifier on a wall (Figure 4), remove the rubber feet and use the existing guide holes in the
amplifier’s enclosure. See Figure 5 on page 6 for recommended mounting hardware.
