How to Operate the Setup Mode
Your McIntosh MDA1000 has been factory configured for
default operating settings that will allow immediate enjoy-
ment of superb audio without the need for further adjust-
ments. If you wish to make changes to the factory default
settings, a Setup Feature is provided to customize the oper-
ating settings using the Front Panel Alphanumeric Display.
1. Press the POWER Switch to ON, the LED above the
STANDBY/ON Push-button will illuminate and the
Front Panel Display will indicate “BYPASS ON” for
several seconds and then “1 COAXIAL 44.1”. Refer to
figures 1, 2 and 3.
Notes: For normal operation, switch the MDA1000 On and
Off with the Standby/On Push-button. If the
MDA1000 is not going to be used for an extended
period of time, turn Off all AC Power with the Power
Switch. If there is no digital signal present at the
Coaxial Digital Input 1, the Front Panel
Alphanumeric Display will indicate “1 COAXIAL”
and not “1 COAXIAL 44.1” as illustrated in figure 2.
2. Press the SETUP Push-button and notice that with each
press of the push-button, the Setup Mode advances
through two different possible adjustment selections and
one informational display.
3. To exit from the Setup Mode, press the SETUP Push-
button until the LED above the SETUP Push-button is
extinguished and the Front Panel Display reverts back
to its normal display. Refer to figure 2.
