Input Selection and Title Reassignment

The C500 has nine Audio Inputs, which includes seven high level inputs, two dedicated Phono Inputs and two external processor loops. These inputs already have assigned titles that will allow for immediate hookup, operation and enjoy- ment.

If the default Input Titles for the High Level Inputs do not match up with components in your system they may be reassigned. The following example will illustrate how to re- name the AUX Input to DVD2. When the Input Selector is rotated to select what was originally the AUX Input, DVD2 will now appear on the Front Panel Alphanumeric Display.

Notes: 1. Unused Inputs may be switched Off so they will not appear when going through the input source choices using the LISTEN Control, RECORD Control or when using the Remote Control. Refer to figure 25.

Figure 25

2.The Alphanumeric Display will indicate the default Title for the Input number selected with a dot appearing to the right of the Title. Refer to figure 26a.

Figure 26a

3.The Input Titles choices available for the High Level Inputs start with DVD2, AUX2, TUN2, SVR2, CDR2, or CD2.

4.The PHONO MM and PHONO MC Inputs Titles are fixed, however they may be switched On or Off.

1.Press the SETUP Push-button twice to access the Setup Preamp Mode unless the C500C is already in the Setup Preamp Mode.

2.Rotate the MENU Control until the Alphanumeric Dis- play indicates “INPUT 3 TUN•” appears. Refer to figure 26a.

3.Rotate the SELECT 1 Control until the Display indi- cates “INPUT 2 AUX•”. Refer to figure 26b.

5.Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all the Inputs have the de- sired Title or are switched Off.

6.If no other adjustments are to be made at this time, press the SETUP Push-button to exit the Setup Preamp Mode or proceed to the next desired Setup Preamp Mode for adjustment.

Data Port Assigment

The Data Control Ports on the C500 Controller by default are assigned to control just one input (1 thru 7) on the Preamplifier.

In the following example there are two McIntosh CD Players, one connected to the CD Balanced Input number 6 and the other CD Player connected to the CDR Unbalanced Input number 5 on the Preamplifier. Both CD Players will share the same DATA PORT number 6 by performing the following steps:

1.Press the SETUP Push-button twice to access the Setup Preamp Mode unless the C500C is already in the Setup Preamp Mode.

2.Rotate the MENU Control until the Alphanumeric Dis-

play indicates D PORT _ _ _ _.
