Unpacking your 200 Integrated & Placement Guidelines
Unpacking Your 200 Integrated
Carefully remove your 200 Integrated from its shipping carton and locate its AC power cord and these
included accessories:
USB A to USB B cable for music playback from a computer
Remote control and two AA batteries
18 AWG power cord
While you are unpacking your 200 Integrated, inspect it thoroughly for evidence of possible shipping
damage and tell your Parasound dealer immediately if you find any. If possible, save and store both the
inner and outer cartons and–most especially–the foam packing inserts, to protect the 200 Integrated if you
move it or have to ship it. This would be a good time to make a copy of your sales receipt for storage with
the 200 Integrated’s original packing.
Placement Guidelines
Install your 200 Integrated away from heat sources such as heat-producing audio components, heating ducts
and radiators. Observe the following ventilation guidelines when installing the 200 Integrated in an equipment
rack or any other enclosed space:
It is better to position your 200 Integrated under, rather than above, power amplifiers or other heat-producing
components. Pockets of intense heat can still develop above and around any heat-producing equipment. You
should also avoid installing the 200 Integrated in an unventilated equipment cabinet or small compartment
because hot air created by the other components will not exhaust adequately and could result in overheating.
A cabinet or enclosure whose front and back are open doesn’t guarantee that air will circulate adequately.
Allow a few inches of empty space on each side of the unit and try to avoid crowding or stacking the 200
Integrated tightly between other components.
If you are installing the 200 Integrated yourself, use input and output cables that are long enough to leave at
least two feet of slack; that will enable you to pull the 200 Integrated out of a cabinet to check or to change
connections without inadvertently disconnecting cables.
Rack Mounting Your 200 Integrated
A rack mount adapter model “RMK-11” is available for purchase separately. When rack mounting always
leave at least one rack space (1U or 1¾”) empty above the 200 Integrated to allow for proper cooling.
AC Power Cord
The power cord supplied with your 200 Integrated is an IEC type 18AWG AC cord. The AC ground potential
can vary between your AC outlets and the result can be an audible 60Hz (or 50Hz) hum heard in your
speakers. To help avoid this problem plug your 200 Integrated into the same AC wall outlet, power strip or
line conditioner as you have plugged in your other audio components. The power cord might be different for
units sold in other regions of the world.
