How To Connect - McIntosh MC7205 THX Owner's Manual

How to Connect the MC7205
1. Connect the MC7205 power cord to a live AC outlet.
2. Prepare the loudspeaker hookup cables as follows:
A. Carefully remove sufficient insulation from the
loudspeaker cable ends to just fit within the bind-
ing post with no exposed wire accessible. Refer to
figure 1.
B. If the cable is stranded, carefully twist the strands
together as tightly as possible. Refer to figures 2 &
3.
Note: If desired, the twisted
cable section can be
tinned with a solder iron
to keep the strands
together and/or attach
appropriate connector
ends.
C. Insert the bare section of the
cable end or connector into
the access hole, and tighten
the terminal nut clockwise
until the cable is firmly
clamped into the terminal so
the wires cannot slip out. Refer to figure 4.

cable from the multi-channel output
of a control center to the THX Input
connector for all six audio channels
and power control.

Subwoofer THX input and a power control cable from
the MC7205 Power Control Out to the SL-1 Power
Control In.
Note: An optional hookup is to use discrete cables from a
McIntosh Control Center to inputs of the MC7205.
Connect a “Y” adapter to the Control Center
Subwoofer Output, with one cable to the SL-1
subwoofer THX input and a second cable to the
MC7205 Sub In/Out jack. Connect a power control
cable from the Control Center Power Control Out to the
