Considerations

The DC-1 is a highly specialized signal processing computer and requires

special care during installation to ensure optimum performance.

The DC-1 may be installed on a shelf or in a standard 19" equipment rack,

using an optional rack-mount kit available from Lexicon dealers. Observe

the following precautions:

• Select a dry, well-ventilated location out of direct sunlight.

• Do not stack the DC-1 directly above heat-producing equipment such as

power amplifiers.

• Avoid placing the DC-1 near unshielded TV or FM antennas, cable TV

decoders, or other receivers. The DC-1 may interfere with some FM

tuners if it is placed immediately above or below them. Some products,

particularly power amplifiers, may cause hum if they are in close

proximity.

• Make sure the DC-1 front panel IR receiver window is unobstructed. The

remote control must be in line-of-sight to this receiver for proper

operation. If line-of-sight is impractical, an infrared remote repeater can

be used with the rear panel IR connector. The DC-1 may be placed in a

glass-doored cabinet but smoked glass will make the front panel Liquid

Crystal Display (LCD) difficult to read and will reduce the sensitivity of

the IR receiver.

AC Connections

The DC-1 is designed to be connected to an uninterrupted AC power line in

the same manner as a VCR or a television. We recommend the use of an AC

line filter to protect against line surges, or the installation of a line condi-

tioner to protect against under voltage (brownouts) as well as overvoltage

conditions.

The DC-1 has a master power switch on the rear panel above the IEC

standard AC power receptacle. This switch may be left ON continuously

when the unit is in regular use. When the DC-1 will not be used for an

extended period of time, or whenever you are connecting or disconnecting

any cables to the unit, this switch should be turned OFF.

Connect the power cable to the DC-1, then plug the power cord into a wall

outlet or into an unswitched outlet on a surge protector. Be sure that the

power cord is firmly seated in the connector on the rear panel of the DC-1.
