Normally, Remote Zones are turned On and Off individually
in each respective zone by pressing the Power Push-button

all zones of an entire McIntosh System simultaneously, in-
cluding a Control Center and accessory source components,
you can press the SYS OFF Push-button on the MX136
Front Panel. Refer to figure 33.
Note: The Sys Off Push-button on a Keypad or Remote
Control may also be used to switch Off the entire
system.

is installed.
Late Night
The LATE NIGHT Push-button turns a volume compres-
sion circuit On and Off. This feature suppresses loud
sounds or music that might disturb neighbors or others not
in the immediate area of the Home Theater. Soft levels are
also raised slightly so they are still listenable at reduced
overall volume levels. This works only on a Dolby Digital
Sound Track with encoded data that supports the compres-
sion function.
Reset of Microprocessors
In the event that the controls of the MX136 stop function-
ing, there is a built-in user reset function. Press the POWER
Switch to OFF and wait for two minutes. Then Press the
POWER Switch to ON. This will reset the MX136 micro-
processors. Refer to figure 32 on page 41.
Note: The above condition is usually caused by either
interruptions in AC power and/or major changes in
voltage.
Front Panel Status
The three sets of front panel LEDs indicate the status of In-
put Format, Operating/Decoding Modes and the Output
Format. Refer to figure 33.
Note: If a Digital Input is selected and the Digital Source
Component is not producing an output signal, none of
the Front Panel Status LEDs will illuminate.
