Caution: The supplied AC Power Cord should not be
connected to the Rear Panel of the MC207
Amplier until after the Loudspeaker Connections
have been made. Failure to observe this could
result in Electric Shock.
1. Connect Balanced Audio Cables from the Zone A Out-
puts of a McIntosh A/V Control Center to the MC207
INPUTS (Channels 1-4 and 7), making sure to match up
the channel identications between both units.
Note: In place of the Balanced Audio Cables, unbalanced
cables may be used. If a DB25 cable is used between
the MULTI-CHANNEL INPUT of the MC207 and the
Multi-Channel Output, the separate Power Control
Cable ZA is not needed.
2. For Remote Power Control and Power Saving Standby/
Off (for additional information refer to page 15), con-
nect a power control cable from the McIntosh A/V Con-
trol Center Zone A Power Control Out to the MC207
POWER CONTROL ZA.
3. Prepare the Loudspeaker Hookup Cables that attach to
the MC207 Power Amplier by choosing one of the
methods below:
Bare wire cable ends:
Carefully remove sufcient insulation from the cable
ends, refer to gures 1, 2 & 3. If the cable is stranded,
carefully twist
the strands
together as
tightly as pos-
sible.
Note: If desired, the twisted ends can be tinned with
solder to keep the strands together, or attach spade
lug and/or banana connector.
Spade lug or prepared wire connection:
Insert the spade lug connector or
prepared section of the cable end
into the terminal side access hole,
and tighten the terminal cap until
the cable is rmly clamped into the
terminal so the wires cannot slip
out. Refer to gures 4, 5 & 6.
Banana plug connection:
Tighten the top portion of the terminal post and insert
the banana plug into the opening
at the top of the terminal. Refer
to gure 7.
Note: The use of Banana Plugs is
for use in the United States
and Canada only.
4. Connect the Loudspeaker Hook-
up Cables from the MC207 OUTPUT Terminals to the
Loudspeakers, being careful to observe the correct po-
larities and channel designation.
WARNING: Loudspeaker terminals are hazardous
live and present a risk of electric shock.
For additional instruction on making
Loudspeaker Connections contact your
McIntosh Dealer or McIntosh Technical
Support.
5. Place the IMPEDANCE Switch to the position (4 ohm
or 8 ohm) that matches the impedance of the connected
Loudspeakers. In the event that some of the Loud-
speakers in the system are of different impedance, use
the impedance of the Left and Right Front Loudspeak-
ers to set the IMPEDANCE Switch position.
Note: If the two remaining channels (5 and 6) are to be
used for Zone B operation, proceed to page 12.
6. Connect the MC207 Power Cord to an active AC out-
let.
