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 Audio Cables from the Zone B Outputs of a
McIntosh A/V Control Center to the MC207 INPUTS
(Channels 5 and 6), making sure to match up the chan-
nel identications between both units.
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 B Power Control Out to the MC207
POWER CONTROL ZB.
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.
6. Connect the MC207 Power Cord to an active AC out-
let.
