IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE TO PRO- TECT YOU AND THE MclNTOSH IN- STRUMENT. BE SURE TO FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THEM. 1. Read all instructions - Read the safety and oper- ating instructions before operating the instrument. 2. Retain Instructions - Retain the safety and oper- ating instructions for future reference. 3. Heed warnings - Adhere to warnings and oper- ating instructions. 4. Follow Instructions - Follow all operating and use instructions. WARNING: TO REDUCE RISK OF FIRE OR ELEC- TRICAL SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS INSTRU- MENT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. 5. Power Sources - Connect the power supply only to the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the unit. 6. Power-Cord Protection - Route power-supply cords so that they are not likely to be walked on or pin- ched by items placed upon or against them, pay- ing particular attention to cords at plugs, conve- nience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the instrument. 7. Ventilation - Locate the instrument for proper ven- tilation. For example, the instrument should not be placed on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block ventilation openings; or, placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet, that may impede the flow of air through the ven- tilation openings. 8. Heat - Locate the instrument away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliance (including amplifiers) that produce heat. 9. Wall or Cabinet Mounting - Mount the instrument in a wall or cabinet only as described in the owners manual. 10. Water and Moisture - Do not use the instrument near water - for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc. 11. Cleaning - Clean the instrument by dusting with a dry cloth. Clean the panel with a cloth moistened with a window cleaner. 12. Object and Liquid Entry - Do not permit objects to fall and liquids to spill into the instrument through enclosure openings. 13. Power Lines - Locate any outdoor antenna away from power lines. 14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outdoor antenna is connected to the antenna terminal, be sure the antenna system is grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static charge. In the U.S.A., section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1987, provides informa- tion on the proper ground for the mast and sup- porting structure, ground for the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, and size of ground con- ductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, con- nection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. For ground wire: a) Use No. 10 AWG (5.3 mm2) copper No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) aluminum, No. 17 AWG (1.0 mm2) copper-clad steel, bronze wire, or larger as ground wire. b) Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with stand-off insulators spaced from 4 feet (1.22 meters) to 6 feet (1.83 meters) apart. c) Mount antenna discharge unit as closely as possible to where lead-in enters house. d) Use jumper wire not smaller than No. 6 AWG (13.3 mm2) copper or equivalent when separate antenna grounding electrode is used.

15. Nonuse Periods - Unplug the power cord from the AC power outlet when left unused for a long period of time. 16. Damage Requiring Service - Service must be per- formed by qualified service personnel when: A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the instrument; or C. The instrument has been exposed to rain; or D. The instrument does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in perfor- mance; or E. The instrument has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged. 17. Servicing - Do not attempt to service beyond that described in the operating instructions. All other service should be referred to qualified service personnel. 18. Grounding or Polarization - Do not defeat the in- herent design features of the polarized plug. Non- polarized line cord adaptors will defeat the safely provided by the polarized AC plug. 19. CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK DO NOT USE THIS (POLARIZED) PLUG WITH AN EX- TENSION CORD, RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADES CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE. Note to CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-22 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical. ATTENTION: POUR PREVENIR LES CHOCS ELEC- TRIQUES PAS UTILISER CETTE FICHE POLARISEE AVEC UN PROLONCATEUR, UNE PRISE DE COURANT OU UNE AUTRE SORTIE DE COURANT, SAUF SI LES LAMES PEUVENT ETRE INSEREES A FOND SANS EN LAISSER AUCUNE PARTIE A DECOUVERT. The lightning flash with arrowhead, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of suffi- cient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. CAUTION: TO PREVENT THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) in- structions in the literature accompanying the appliance. The serial number, purchase date, and Mclntosh Laboratory Service Contract number are important to you for possible insurance claim or future service. Record this information here. Serial Number Purchase Date Service Contract Number Upon application, Mclntosh Laboratory provides a Service Contract to the original purchaser. Your Mclntosh Authorized Service Agency can expedite repairs when you present the Service Contract with the instrument. Copyright MCMLXXXVIII © by Mclntosh Laboratory Inc.

USING THE HAND HELD REMOTE CONTROLLER When The HR7 (hand held controller), is activated by pressing buttons on the keypad, it transmits a twelve bit code on an infrared carrier. When receiv- ed by the infrared sensor, the transmitted data is decoded in the Remote Control Module. The in- frared sensor has been designed for a broad recep- tion angle so it is usually not necessary to point the hand-held controller directly at the sensor. POWER Turns the AC power on or off to the local area. CD Selects the Mclntosh Compact Disc Player as the source of sound. PLAY Press button 1 to listen to the CD on the player, NEXT Press button 2 to move the laser pen to the next track on the disc. If you press 2 (NEXT) while playing the last track on the disc the laser pen does not move and the last track continues to play. BACK Press button 3 to move the laser pen to the proceeding track on the disc. If you press 3 (BACK) while playing the first track the laser pen does not move and the first track continues to play. STOP Press button 4 (STOP) to stop play before the end of the disc. TUNER Selects the Mclntosh tuner as the source of sound. 1 Thru 7. . Press one of the numbered buttons to recall from the electronic memory in the tuner the preset AM or FM station assigned to the numbered button, FM Press the FM button to switch to the FM circuits of the tuner. AM Press the AM button to switch to the AM circuits of the tuner. SEARCH .. . Press the SEARCH button to preview for 5 seconds each of the seven stations preset in the tuner electronic memory. To stop on any station push the SEARCH button once more. In the SEARCH mode, between station noise is automatically muted. SCAN Press the SCAN button to automatically tune to the next station up the selected broadcast band. In the SCAN mode between station noise and dis- tant, weak stations are automatically muted. PREAMP Selects the system preamplifier as the source of sound. All of the controls and sources available on the preamplifier are available for use. MUTE Press button MUTE to silence the local area sound. A second touch will restore the sound. VOLUME Press buttons VOLUME or VOLUME to adjust the loudness in your area only. AC power to all areas can be turned off, if, after pressing POWER, both VOLUME buttons are pressed simultaneously. BATTERIES The remote control runs on two AA, 1.5 volt bat- teries. Slide open the cover on the back of the remote control and insert the batteries as shown in the diagram in the battery compartment then slide the cover closed again. Battery life is normally about one year. Remove the batteries as soon as they are dead to prevent damage by possible battery leakage or in case the remote control is not to be used tor a length of time. HAND HELD REMOTE 5
