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.
