General Information

1.For additional connection information, refer to the owner’s manual(s) for any component(s) connected to the MA6600 Integrated Amplifier.

2.The Main AC Power going to the MA6600 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 MA6600 and other McIntosh Components are in their Standby Power Off Mode, the Microprocessor’s Circuit- ry inside each component is active and communication is occurring between them.

3.The type and availability of tuner module(s) for the MA6600 varies from country to country. Contact your McIntosh Dealer for additional information.

4.In the event the MA6600 Power Amplifier overheats, due to improper ventilation and/or high ambient tem- perature, the protection circuits will activate. The Front Panel Power Guard LEDs will continuously indicate ON and the audio will be muted. When the MA6600 has returned to a safe operating temperature, normal opera- tion will resume.

If the MA6600 Power Transformer overheats, the MA6600 will switch Off and the Front Panel Output

1 and 2 LED will flash. When the Power Transformer returns to a safe operating temperature the STANDBY/ ON Push-button will become active again.
