How to Connect the C200 with Passthru Mode

The Passthrough Mode on the C200 allows it to be part of a Multichannel System for the Left and Right Front Channels, when it is connected to a McIntosh Multi- channel Processor such as the MX132, MSD4 or MAC-3.

1.Connect the supplied DB25 cable from the C200C socket to the matching socket on the C200P.

2.Connect a Power Control Cable from the C200C POWER CONTROL MAIN Socket to the Power Con- trol In Socket on one of the two McIntosh Power Am- plifiers. Then connect from that Power Amplifier Power Control Out Socket to the second McIntosh Power Amplifier Power Control In Socket.

Note: There is approximately a one-half second delay in the turn-on of the second Power Amplifier, so as not to tax the AC Power Line.

3.Connect a Power Control Cable from the C200C POWER CONTROL ACCessory Socket to the Power Control In of a McIntosh Tuner.

4.Connect a Power Control Cable from the McIntosh Tuner Power Control Out Socket to the Power Control In of a McIntosh DVD Player and then onto the next McIntosh Source Component.

5.Connect a Power Control Cable from the McIntosh A/V Controller Power Control Zone A to the C200C PASSTHRU Socket.

6.Connect a Data Cable from the C200C TUNER DATA PORT to the Data In of a McIntosh Tuner.

7.Connect a Data Cable from the C200C DVD DATA PORT to the Data In of a McIntosh DVD Player.

8.Connect an Audio Cable from the McIntosh A/V Con- troller Zone A Front Left and Right Audio Outputs to the C200P AUX 2 INPUTS.

9.Connect an Audio Cable from the McIntosh Tuner Au- dio Outputs to the C200P TUNER INPUTS.

10.Connect an Audio Cable from the McIntosh DVD Player Audio Outputs to the C200P CD INPUTS.

11.Connect the remaining Audio Source and Processing Components to the matching C200P Inputs.

Note: It is important to make sure that the two C200P Rear Panel Slide Switches are set to the appropriate Input that a Source Component has been connected to. Example, if a second turntable is connected to the PH 2(mm) Input, then the Slide Switch must be set to the PH2 position and not AUX 2, in order for the sound of the Turntable to be heard.

12.Connect XLR Cables from the C200P MAIN OUT- PUTS (Balanced) to the Balanced Inputs on the two McIntosh Power Amplifiers.

Note: Balanced and Unbalanced Inputs and Outputs can

be mixed. For example, you may connect signal sources to Unbalanced Inputs and send signals out from the Balanced Outputs. You can also use Balanced and Unbalanced outputs simultaneously, connected to different power amplifiers.

13. Connect the C200C power cord to a live AC outlet.
