Operational Setup
1. Unpack the BD-0914, and accompanying V-PS6-1.2A power supply and physically inspect for any damage that may have occurred
during shipping. Also verify there is a small package with mounting accessories. Should there be any damage, immediately contact
Marshall Electronics at 800-800-6608. If you are not located within the continental united states call +1 310-333-0606.
2. Install in your desired location. If wall mounting is required, attach the mounting brackets by removing the Phillips head screws on
the sides, closest to the rear of the unit. (See below) Only one screw per side should be removed. Use the same screw to attach the
bracket with the flange facing away from the side and parallel to the front of the BD-0914 metal case. The flange has two holes. For
desktop use, apply the supplied rubber pads.
3. Connect required cables for signal input and output.
Plug the power supply into the A.C. source
4. Attach power connection to the back of the unit to
turn on power. Verify power on indicator active on
the front of the BD-0914.
