Stacking
Four “feet” are provided with the HD-MD8X1 and HD-MD8X2 so that if the unit is
not rack mounted, the rubber feet can provide stability when the unit is placed on a
flat surface or stacked. These feet should be attached near the corners prior to the
hookup procedure.
NOTE: No more than two HD-MD8X1/2 units should be stacked.

Label the Buttons
Use Crestron Engraver software to print custom labels for the HD-MD8X1/2’s front
panel buttons and LEDS. Crestron recommends printing on 100-pound paper. Paper
weighing less than 100 pounds will tend to crumple while sliding in, while paper
weighing more than 100 pounds may not fit.
