Connecting Components
The MAC7200 has the ability to automatically switch
power On/Off to McIntosh Source Components via
the Power Control (Trigger) connections. The Data
Port Connections allow for the remote operation of
basic functions using the MAC7200 Remote Control.
With an external sensor connected to the MAC7200,
remote control operation of the system is possible
from another room and/or when the MAC7200 is
located in a cabinet with the doors closed.
The connection instructions below, together with
the MAC7200 Input and Output Connection Diagrams
located on the separate folded sheet “Mc2A/2B”, are
an example of a typical audio system. Your system
may vary from this, however the actual components
would be connected in a similar manner. For addition-
