General Information; Connector And Cable Information - McIntosh MP100 Owner's Manual

General Information

1. For additional connection information, refer to the
owner's manual(s) for any component(s) connected
to the MP100 Phono Preamplifier.
2. The Main AC Power going to the MP100 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 malfunc-
tioning of some or all of the system's normal opera-
tions. When the MP100 and other McIntosh Com-
ponents are in their Standby Power Off Mode, the
Microprocessor's Circuitry inside each component
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 MP100 internal Analog to Digital Converter
Circuitry is designed to encode 2-channel PCM
(Pulse Code Modulation) Digital Signal. 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.

Power Control (Trigger) Connectors
When the MP100 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 Compo-
nents. An additional connection is
for controlling the illumination of
the Power Output Meters on Mc-
Intosh Power Amplifiers. A 3.5mm stereo mini phone
plug is used for connection to the Power Control (Trig-
ger) Connectors on the MP100.
