How to Connect the MDLP2, Power Control Connections

How to Connect the MDLP2

The MDLP2 has the ability to automatically switch power On/Off to McIntosh Components via the Power Control and Trigger Connections. The Data Port Connections allow for the remote operation of the MDLP2 from other McIn- tosh Components. With an external sensor connected to the MDLP2, remote control operation is possible when the MDLP2 is located in an enclosure.

The connection instructions below, together with the AP1000/MDLP2/VP1000 Input and Control Connection Diagrams located on the separate folded sheet “Mc2A and Mc2B”, are an example of a typical audio/video system. Your system may vary from this; however, the actual com- ponents would be connected in a similar manner.

For additional information refer to “Connector and Cable Information” on page 6.

Note: With the addition of a McIntosh Power Controller connected to the MDLP2, AC Power Switching can be provided to components such as a motorized projection screen. Contact your McIntosh Dealer for additional information.
