General Information; Connector And Cable Information - McIntosh MP1100 Owner's Manual

General Information

1. For additional connection information, refer to the
owner's manual(s) for any component(s) connected
to the MP1100 Phono Preamplifier.
2. The Main AC Power going to the MP1100 and any
other McIntosh Component(s) should not be applied
until all the system components are connected
together. Failure to do so could result in mal-
functioning of some or all of the system's normal
operations. When the MP1100 and other McIntosh
Components are in their Standby Power Off Mode,
the Microprocessor's Circuitry inside each com-
ponent is active and communication is occurring
between them.
3. The Balanced and Unbalanced Outputs may be
used simultaneously, connected to different Pream-
plifiers or component recording device.
4. The MP1100 internal Analog to Digital Converter
Circuitry is designed to encode 2-channel PCM
(Pulse Code Modulation) Digital Signals. The
Coaxial and Optical Digital Audio Outputs are for
PCM Digital Signals.
5. Sound Intensity is measured in units called Deci-
bels and "dB" is the abbreviation.
6. 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 regulations
concerning battery disposal.
7. For additional information on the MP1100

Power Control (Trigger) Connectors
When the MP1100 TRIGger IN Connector receives a
Power Control On Signal (5 to 12 volts) it will make
that signal available at the TRIG-
ger OUT Connector to control
other connected McIntosh Com-
ponents. An additional connection
is for controlling the illumination
of the Output Meters on McIntosh
Components. A 3.5mm stereo mini phone plug is used
for connection to the Power Control (Trigger) Connec-
tors on the MP1100.
