General, Connector and Cable Information

General Information Connector and Cable Information

1.The C2300 uses Vacuum Tubes for amplifying the audio signal. The C2300 is designed to have only quali- fied Service Personnel perform any part(s) replacement including all the vacuum tubes.

2.For additional connection information, refer to the owner’s manual(s) for any component(s) connected to the C2300 Tube Preamplifier.

3.The Main AC Power going to the C2300 and any other McIntosh Component(s) should not be applied until all the system components are connected together. Failure to do so could result in malfunctioning of some or all of the system’s normal operations. When the C2300 and other McIntosh Components are in their Standby Power Off Mode, the Microprocessor’s Circuitry inside each component is active and communication is occurring between them.

4.Up to two Sensors can be wired in parallel for Remote Control of the C2300 from other rooms.

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