Caution: The supplied AC Power Cord should not be
connected to the Rear Panel of the MC207
Amplier 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 identications 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 Amplier by choosing one of the
methods below:
Bare wire cable ends:
Carefully remove sufcient 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.
