this switch setting.

29. HIGH PASS FILTERS

Set the switch to ON to remove all low frequencies below 80Hz from the Left Front, Center
and Right Front speakers. This mode of operation is preferred when all three front speakers
are small and compact. A Subwoofer will then be necessary to handle all bass frequencies
of 80Hz and lower. The ON position also automatically switches the SUBWOOFER channel
ON, regardless of other switch settings. Set the switch to OFF when full range front speakers
are used. The HIGH PASS FILTERS switch functions in all operating modes.

30. CHANNEL OUTPUT

This connector accepts a 25 conductor shielded subminiature "D" male-to-female com-
puter type cable that feeds all six program signals and the AC power control signal to the
matching 6 channel (THX) connector on the rear panel of the Mclntosh MC7106 six channel
power amplifier. A single cable connection between the MX130 and MC7106 makes an easy
and convenient installation for a Mclntosh Home Theater system.

31. DATA PORTS

The 14 DATA PORTS provide data signals to be fed to compatible audio and video ac-
cessories. This allows you to control the accessory components with their own remote con-
trollers transmitting to an MX130 sensor.
The HOME DATA port is provided for connecting to the HC-1 Home Controller. This allows
you to control accessories such as lights or viewing screen motors.
The SUM DATA port is used for connecting to the Mclntosh Model RCT-1 Remote Control
Translator. Any IR signal transmitted to a CR39 sensor results in data signals at this port.
The RCT-1 is a learning device that will allow the MX130 to remotely control most major brands
of accessory components.
All cables connected from the DATA ports use shielded wire with 1/8" mini phone
plugs. Connections are to the sleeve and tip of the plug.
32. EXTERNAL SENSORS (AREA A and AREA B)
Connect a coaxial cable from the AREA A EXTERNAL SENSOR coaxial connector to an
R649 Wall IR Sensor, WK-1 or WK-2 Keypad. This allows the MX130 Remote Controller to
send control signals to the MX130 for Area "A" functions without aiming it at the MX130
front panel. An example would be if the MX130 were installed behind a cabinet door that
would block the front panel sensor.
Connect a coaxial cable from the AREA B EXTERNAL SENSOR connector to an R649 Wall
IR sensor or Keypad installed in the remote Area "B". This allows you to turn on Area "B"
and select all the available system operating modes and program selections in Area "B".
Area "B" must have its own dedicated power amplifier and speakers.
All coaxial connections use either RG59U or RG6 coaxial cable. As many as four
Keypads or Sensors can be connected in parallel on each coaxial cable.
33. CD1/CD2 CONTROL
Connect a Mclntosh Model W101 CD Control cable from the CD1 or CD2 CONTROL socket
to a matching connector socket on a Mclntosh CD player or changer. This allows you to con-
trol CD player functions with the MX130 hand held remote controller transmitting to an MX130
sensor. You could use CD1 for a single play CD player and CD2 for a CD changer.
