RF Multipath interferance can occur when the MAC7200 receives two or more signals from the Tuned in FM Broadcast Station. The first signal received is the direct signal from the station and additional signals received are delayed because they have ref lected off of a building or terrain (hill/mountain). This delay results in an increase in distortion and a reduction in Stereo Separa- tion. To reduce or eliminate Multipath, reorient the direction of the FM Antenna for minimum indication of Multipath even if the Signal Strength indicates less signal. Refer to pages 33 and 34. 9. The IR Input, with a 1/8 inch mini phone jack, is configured for non-McIntosh IR sensors such as Xantech Model DL85K Kit. Use a Connection Block such as a Xantech Model ZC21 when two or more IR sensors need to be connected to the MAC7200. The signal from a connected External IR Sensor will have priority over the signal from the Front Panel IR Sensor. 10. When discarding the unit, comply with local rules or regulations. Batteries should never be thrown away or incinerated but disposed of in accordance with the local regula- tions concerning battery disposal. 11.

For additional connection information, refer to the owners manual(s) for any component(s) connected to the MAC7200. 2. Apply AC Power to the MAC7200 and other McIn- tosh Component(s) only after all the system compo- nents are connected together. Failure to do so may cause a malfunction of system operations as the Microprocessors Circuitry inside the components is active when AC Power is applied. 3. The MAC7200 includes an Auto Off Power Save Feature and the default setting is enabled. For additional information including how to disable it, refer to page 22. 4. When Power Amplifier Protection Circuitry of the MAC7200 has activated, the Front Panel Power Guard LEDs are illuminated continuously and the sound will be muted. 5. When the Power Transformer has overheated due to improper ventilation and/or high ambient operat- ing temperature, AC Power is removed from the MAC7200. Normal operation will resume when the operating temperature is in a safe range again. 6. For the best performance and safety, it is important to always match the impedance of the Loudspeaker to the Power Amplifier connections. Refer to pages 13 and 14. Note: The impedance of a Loudspeaker actually var ies as the Loudspeaker reproduces different frequencies. As a result, the nominal impedance rating of the Loudspeaker (usually measured at a midrange frequency) might not always agree with the impedance of the Loudspeaker at low frequencies where the greatest amount of power is required. Contact the Loudspeaker Manufac turer for additional information about the actual impedance of the Loudspeaker before connecting it to the McIntosh MAC7200. General Information

4 RS232-C Data Port Cable The RS232 Data Cable is a 3.5mm stereo mini phone plug to a subminiature DB 9 connector: Output Terminal Connector When cables with spade lugs are used for Loudspeaker Connection, the spade lugs need an opening of at least 3/10 inch (7.6mm). McIntosh Plug-In Jumper Connector The MAC7200 utilizes two phono style Plug-In Jump- ers to connect the Preamplifier Output to the Power Amplifier Input. Note: The Jumper Connector is available from the McIntosh Parts Department: McIntosh Jumper Connector Part No. 117781 FM Dipole Antenna The MAC7200 FM Tuner Circuitry requires the con- nection of an external Antenna for FM reception. A FM Dipole Antenna is available from the McIntosh Parts Department: FM Dipole Antenna Part No. 173033 XLR Connectors Below is the Pin configuration for the XLR Balanced Input Connectors on the MAC7200. Refer to the diagram for con- nection: PI N 1: Shield /Ground PIN 2: + Output PIN 3: - Output Power Control and Trigger Connectors The Power Control Trigger Output Jacks send and Passthru Input Jack receives Power On /Off Signals (+12 volt/0 volt) when connected to other McIntosh Components. An additional connection is for controlling the illumination of the Power Output Meters on McIntosh Power Amplifiers. A 3.5mm stereo mini phone plug is used for connection to the Power Control, Trigger and Passthru Outputs. Data Port Connectors The Data Out Ports send Remote Control Signals to Source Compo- nents. A 3.5mm stereo mini phone plug is used for connection. IR IN Port Connectors The IR IN Port also uses a 3.5mm stereo mini phone plug and allows the connection of other brand IR Receivers to the MAC7200.

13 Caution: Do not connect the AC Power Cord to the MAC7200 Rear Panel until after the Loud- speaker Connections are made. Failure to observe this could result in Electric Shock. The connection instructions below, together with the MAC7200 Connection Diagram located on the separate folded sheet Mc2B, is an example of a typi- cal audio system. Your system may vary from this, however the actual components would be connected in a similar manner. For additional information refer to Connector and Cable Information on page 4. The McIntosh MAC7200 Power Amplifier Circuit- ry is designed for Loudspeakers with an impedance of 2 ohms, 4 ohms or 8 ohms. Connect a single Loud- speaker only to the Right and Left Output Terminals. When connecting Loudspeakers to the MAC7200 it is very important to use cables of adequate size, so there is little to no power loss in the cables. The size is specified in Gauge Numbers or AWG (American Wire Gauge). The smaller the Gauge number, the larger the wire size: Loudspeaker Cable Distance vs Wire Gauge Guide Loudspeaker Impedance 25 feet (7.62 meters) or less 50 feet (15. 24 meter s) or less 100 feet (30.48 meters) or less 2 Ohms 12AWG 10AWG 8AWG 4 Ohms 14AWG 12 AWG 10AWG 8 Ohms 16AWG 14AWG 12 AWG 1. Prepare the Loudspeaker Hookup Cable for attach- ment to the MAC7200 Power Amplifier:Bare wire cable ends: Carefully remove sufficient insulation from the cable ends, refer to figures F, G & H. If the cable is stranded, carefully twist the strands together as tightly as possible. Notes: 1. If desired, the twisted ends can be tinned with solder to keep the strands together. 2. The prepared bare wire cable ends may be inserted into spade lug connectors. 3. Banana plugs are for use in the United States and Canada only. Banana Plugs are for use in the United States and Canada only:2. Attach the previously prepared bare wire cable ends into the banana plugs and secure the connections. Refer to figure I. 3. Rotate the Output Terminal Post =f =f =f =f =f =f McIntosh Wrench, rotate the top of the Output Terminal one quarter of a turn (90°). Do not over tighten. 4. Referring to figure K, connect the Loudspeaker hookup cables with banana plugs into the hole at the top of the terminal to the MAC7200 Negative Output Terminal and Positive Out put Ter mi- =f =f=f !

Note: The illustration located on the separate folded sheet Mc2B is for connection to an \b \f If the Loudspeakers impedance is in-between the available connections, use the nearest lower impedance connection. Refer to General Informa- tion Note 6 on page 3 for additional information. WARNING: Loudspeaker terminals are hazard- ous live and present a risk of electric shock. For additional instruction on making Loudspeaker Connections con- tact your McIntosh Dealer or McIn- tosh Technical Support. Output Terminals When connecting the Loudspeaker Hookup Cables to the MAC7200 Amplifier Output Terminals please fol- low the steps below:1. Rotate the top of the Output Terminal Post coun- terclockwise until an opening =b B. 2. Insert the Loudspeaker hookup cable into the Output Terminal Post opening or the cable spade lug around the center post of the Output Terminal. Refer to * 3. Rotate the top of the Output Terminal Post clockwise until it =f =f ; 4. Place the supplied McIntosh Wrench over the top of the Out- put Terminal and rotate it one quarter of a turn (90°) to secure the Loudspeaker Cable Connec- tion. Do not over tighten.
