This will insure low operating temperatures which will result in extended component life. The SR900 chassis is constructed of steel together with a heavy gauge aluminum rear panel which acts as a heat sink (a device which dissipates heat) for the output transistors. This area will become hot under normal use. This is normal and should not be cause for concern. Do not place books or other objects on the cage or in the immediate vicinity of the receiver. When mounting your SR900 into an equipment cabinet the following precautions must be observed. 1. Allow at least 3 inches above the top cover of the unit. 2. Allow at least 1 inch on each side of the chassis. 3. Cut the mounting shelf in accordance with the instructions on the mounting template. 4. Leave the back of your equipment cabinet open to insure proper ventilation. POWER REQUIREMENTS Connect the AC line cord into any outlet furnishing 117 volts, 50 or 60 cycle AC current. The voltage may vary between 105 and 125 volts. An AC convenience outlet is located on the rear panel of the receiver. This outlet is "switched" and is controlled by the on/off switch on the front panel. Any auxiliary equipment may be plugged into this outlet. The rating of this equipment should not exceed 200 watts.
