11 Installation - The four translator circuits are the same and can be used for almost any piece of other brand component. - Easy learning, requires only a McIntosh Remote Control and the Remote Control of the other brand component. - All four RCT-3 channels operate automatically as a Repeater, even though a channel(s) was setup as a Trans- lator. Installation The RCT-3 can be placed upright on a table or shelf, standing on its four feet. Cool operation ensures the longest possible operating life for any electronic instrument. Do not install the RCT-3 directly above a heat generating compo- nent such as a high powered amplifier. Consideration should be given to allow for easy access of the RCT-3 for the Learning Operation Procedure, at least one foot of space to the left of the RCT-3 for placing the remote controls. If the RCT-3 is to be used as a repeater, the distance between the RCT-3, the other brand component(s) and the emitter device should be considered.
