HOME THEATER SURROUND, USING SIX 100/160 WATT CHANNELS WITH A

MclNTOSH C39 OR MX130 AUDIO/VIDEO CONTROL CENTER

The Mclntosh HT, Home Theater Series loudspeakers are 4 ohm impedance. The Mcln-

tosh MC7106 will deliver a total of 960 watts of power into these six loudspeakers when used

in a Mclntosh Home Theater System.

Program signals coming from a Mclntosh C39 or MX 130 Control Center will be fed to the

MC7106 inputs through the rear panel 25 pin THX INPUT connector. All six channels will

receive signals when the Control Centers are used in the HALL, CINEMA 1, (Dolby Pro Logic)

or CINEMA 2, (THX®Audio), MODES. AC power control for the MC7106 is also fed through

the 25 pin connector. The MC7106 AC power cable must be connected to a live AC wall outlet

at all times. Set the MC7106 rear panel POWER switch to the OFF/REMOTE position.

Do not connect the MC7106 power cable to a Control Center rear panel AC outlet.

The six separate Control Center rear panel RCA output jacks may also be used to connect

to the MC7106 inputs instead of the 25 conductor cable. In this mode of connecting, to con-

trol the MC7106 AC power you also must connect a cable from the Control Center POWER

CONTROL jack to the MC7106 POWER CONTROL IN jack. Connect the MC7106 power cable

to a live AC wall outlet and set the POWER switch to the OFF/REMOTE position.

OUTPUT CHANNEL ASSIGNMENT USING THE THX 25 PIN CONNECTOR

A Mclntosh C39 or MX130 used in the HALL, CINEMA 1, or CINEMA 2 Mode will feed

the following surround sound signals to the six channels of the MC7106 through the 25 con-

ductor THX connector.

CHANNEL 1: Center Front CHANNEL 4: Right Front

CHANNEL 2: Left Surround CHANNEL 5: Subwoofer

CHANNEL 3: Left Front CHANNEL 6: Right Surround

For further information on other operating modes of the C39 or MX 130, consult the

applicable owner's manual.
