How to Connect the C200 with Passthru Mode
McIntosh CD/DVD Player
McIntosh AM/FM Tuner
The Passthrough Mode on the C200 allows it to be part of
a Multichannel System for the Left and Right Front
Channels, when it is connected to a McIntosh Multi-
channel Processor such as the MX132, MSD4 or
MAC-3.
1. Connect the supplied DB25 cable from the C200C
socket to the matching socket on the C200P.
2. Connect a Power Control Cable from the C200C
POWER CONTROL MAIN Socket to the Power Con-
trol In Socket on one of the two McIntosh Power Am-
plifiers. Then connect from that Power Amplifier
Power Control Out Socket to the second McIntosh
Power Amplifier Power Control In Socket.
Note: There is approximately a one-half second delay in
the turn-on of the second Power Amplifier, so as
not to tax the AC Power Line.
3. Connect a Power Control Cable from the C200C
POWER CONTROL ACCessory Socket to the Power
Control In of a McIntosh Tuner.
4. Connect a Power Control Cable from the McIntosh
Tuner Power Control Out Socket to the Power Control
In of a McIntosh DVD Player and then onto the next
McIntosh Source Component.
5. Connect a Power Control Cable from the McIntosh A/V
Controller Power Control Zone A to the C200C
PASSTHRU Socket.
6. Connect a Data Cable from the C200C TUNER DATA
PORT to the Data In of a McIntosh Tuner.
7. Connect a Data Cable from the C200C DVD DATA
PORT to the Data In of a McIntosh DVD Player.
8. Connect an Audio Cable from the McIntosh A/V Con-
troller Zone A Front Left and Right Audio Outputs to
the C200P AUX 2 INPUTS.
9. Connect an Audio Cable from the McIntosh Tuner Au-
dio Outputs to the C200P TUNER INPUTS.
10. Connect an Audio Cable from the McIntosh DVD
Player Audio Outputs to the C200P CD INPUTS.
11. Connect the remaining Audio Source and Processing
Components to the matching C200P Inputs.
Note: It is important to make sure that the two C200P
Rear Panel Slide Switches are set to the
appropriate Input that a Source Component has
been connected to. Example, if a second turntable
is connected to the PH 2(mm) Input, then the Slide
Switch must be set to the PH2 position and not
AUX 2, in order for the sound of the Turntable to
be heard.
12. Connect XLR Cables from the C200P MAIN OUT-
PUTS (Balanced) to the Balanced Inputs on the two
McIntosh Power Amplifiers.
Note: Balanced and Unbalanced Inputs and Outputs can
McIntosh A/V Control Center
be mixed. For example, you may connect signal
sources to Unbalanced Inputs and send signals out
from the Balanced Outputs. You can also use
Balanced and Unbalanced outputs simultaneously,
connected to different power amplifiers.
13. Connect the C200C power cord to a live AC outlet.
