Data Port Assigment
The Data Control Ports on the C500 Controller by default
are assigned to control just one input (1 thru 7) on the
Preamplifier.
In the following example there are two McIntosh CD
Players, one connected to the CD Balanced Input number 6
and the other CD Player connected to the CDR Unbalanced
Input number 5 on the Preamplifier. Both CD Players will
share the same DATA PORT number 6 by performing the
following steps:
1. Press the SETUP Push-button twice to access the Setup
Preamp Mode unless the C500C is already in the Setup
Preamp Mode.
2. Rotate the MENU Control until the Alphanumeric Dis-
play indicates D PORT _ _ _ _.
Input Selection and Title Reassignment
The C500 has nine Audio Inputs, which includes seven high
level inputs, two dedicated Phono Inputs and two external
processor loops. These inputs already have assigned titles
that will allow for immediate hookup, operation and enjoy-
ment.
If the default Input Titles for the High Level Inputs do
not match up with components in your system they may be
reassigned. The following example will illustrate how to re-
name the AUX Input to DVD2. When the Input Selector is
rotated to select what was originally the AUX Input, DVD2
will now appear on the Front Panel Alphanumeric Display.
Notes: 1. Unused Inputs may be switched Off so they will not
appear when going through the input source choices
using the LISTEN Control, RECORD Control or
when using the Remote Control. Refer to figure 25.
2. The Alphanumeric Display will indicate the default
Title for the Input number selected with a dot
appearing to the right of the Title. Refer to figure
26a.
