When the trigger signal is interrupted, the tuner goes into standby mode. The front panel indicator light remains lit, but the display goes dark and the unit will not operate. Place the RCD-975 on a solid, dry, level surface away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, high humidity, or strong vibrations. If installed in a cabinet, make sure that there is adequate ventilation. Place the unit close to the other components in your audio/video system and, if possible, place it on its own shelf. This will make initial cable routing, hookup, and any subsequent system changes easier. It also minimizes potential interference or heat buildup from other components.
