Ant/Cable, Tv And Modulator; Ac Outlets; Power Control; Surround Calibrate - McIntosh MX130 Owner's Manual

20. ANT/CABLE, TV and MODULATOR

ANT/CABLE: Connect a coaxial cable from a TV Antenna or Cable Output to the ANT/CABLE
Coaxial connector.
TV: Connect a coaxial cable from the MX 130 TV coaxial output to the coaxial antenna in-
put of a TV receiver being used as a monitor. Whenever the MX130 is turned OFF, the RF
signals feed from the ANT/CABLE connector directly to the TV connector and the TV set for
normal TV reception.
When the MX 130 is turned on, and any of the VIDEO signal sources are selected, the signal
from the ANT/CABLE is turned off and the TV will receive audio/video signals selected by
the MX130. The MX130 MODULATOR feeds only mono audio signals to the TV.
CHANNEL 3 - 4: Set this switch for the channel on the TV you w o u l d like to receive the
audio/video signals.
INPUT A-B: Switch to position "A" for audio/video signals selected by the front panel LISTEN
"A" selector switch, or to position "B" for audio/video signals selected by the RECORD "B"
switch.
TV AUDIO (Control): Adjust the TV AUDIO volume control for the desired audio level from
the TV.
21. AC OUTLETS (Total of Three)
The SWITCHED AC outlet turns on whenever the MX130 is turned on in either Area "A"
or Area "B", and can be used to power any audio or video accessory used in the system.
AREA A PWR AMP outlet supplies AC to the power amplifier connected for use in the Main,
or Area "A", whenever the MX130 is turned on.
AREA "B" PWR AMP outlet supplies AC to the power amplifier connected to the Area "B"
Outputs and is live on only when AREA "B" is turned on from AREA "B".
The Area "B" Outputs and dedicated power amplifier can only be turned on by the
MX130 Remote Controller or WK-1 keypad in Area "B".
To expand the number and current capability of any of the three AC outlets, a power con-
trol relay such as the R612 or PC-2 can be used.
TOTAL CURRENT CAPACITY OF ALL MX130 REAR PANEL AC OUTLETS IS 1400 WATTS

22. POWER CONTROL

This connector supplies a 5 volt DC Logic 1 control signal to feed to a Power Control Input
on a Mclntosh MC7106 Power Amplifier or other compatible accessory to turn its AC power
on and off.
The interconnect cable from the MX130 POWER CONTROL jack to the MC7106
POWER CONTROL IN jack uses single conductor shielded wire with 1/8" mini phone
plugs. Connections are to the sleeve and tip of the plug.

switch its signal to each of the six channels in sequence, for surround volume level calibra-
tion and trim procedure required for HALL, CINEMA 1 and CINEMA 2 operating modes.
