How to Connect the C220
The C220 has the ability to automatically switch power On/Off to McIntosh Source Components via the Power Control connections. The Data Port Connections allow for the remote operation of basic functions using the C220 Remote Control. With an external sensor connected to the C220, remote control operation of the system is possible from another room and/or when the C220 is located in a cabinet with the doors closed.
The connection instructions below, together with the C220 Input and Output Connection Diagrams located on the separate folded sheet, is an example of a typical audio system. Your system may vary from this, however the ac- tual components would be connected in a similar manner.
