(Flush mounted screwdriver control)

Adjust this control for the desired brightness of the front panel power level LED displays

when the room is darkened. When the room lighting returns to normal, the displays will also

return to their normal intensity. Turn the control fully counterclockwise to turn the displays

completely off. The front panel teal nomenclature retains normal illumination at all times.

6. MODE (NORMAL/BRIDGED)

Set this switch to NORMAL when channels 3 and 4 are being used separately. Set the switch

to BRIDGED when the two channels are connected together for bridged operation.

7. INPUTS 3 and 4

Connect cables from a preamplifier, control center or other accessory outputs to these

inputs.

8. LEVEL 3 and 4

Set the controls fully clockwise to the THX (1 volt) reference position when using the amplifier

from the 6 channel output connector on a Mclntosh C39 or MX130 to the MC7106 THX® input

connector. This cable will supply all six output signals from the Control Center for surround

sound operation. It also supplies the control signal to turn the MC7106 AC power on and off.

10. MODE (NORMAL/BRIDGED)

Set this switch to NORMAL when channels 1 and 2 are being used separately. Set the switch
