Using The Pushbuttons - McIntosh C26 Owner's Manual

Using the Pushbuttons

The C 26 is designed to be used with two com-
plete tape recorders. The pushbuttons permit nor-
mal playback of either recorder, or monitor of
either recorder as recordings are being made.
TAPE 1
PUSHBUTTON OUT . . . The program source is
fed to the power amplifiers and heard through the
loudspeakers.
IN . . . The program source becomes the re-
corded tape on the tape recorder connected to
TAPE INPUT 1. The recorded program from tape
recorder 1 is fed to the power amplifiers and heard
from the loudspeakers.
TAPE 2
The second complete tape recorder can be
operated in the same fashion.
L F (LOW FREQUENCY FILTER)
Use the L F filter switch to reduce objection-
able low-frequency noise created by a turntable or
record changer or acoustically coupled feedback.

Hz are reduced when the switch is pushed to the
IN position.

able high-frequency noise such as record scratch.

SPEAKER
When the output of the power amplifier and the
speakers have been connected to the proper push
connecters on the back panel, the pushbuttons
turn the speakers ON or OFF. (See Diagram Page
6).
If the program is to be heard from the main
speakers only, the REMOTE pushbutton is pushed
IN. This turns off the remote loudspeakers.
If the program is to be heard from the remote
speakers only the MAIN pushbutton is pushed IN.
This turns off the main speakers.
To hear program from both main and remote
speakers, both the MAIN and REMOTE pushbut-
tons must be in the OUT position.
MAIN
PUSHBUTTON OUT . . . the program material
is heard from the MAIN speakers.
IN . . . the MAIN loudspeakers are turned OFF.
REMOTE
PUSHBUTTON OUT . . . the program material
is heard from the REMOTE loudspeakers.
IN . . . the REMOTE loudspeakers are turned
OFF. (These pushbuttons do not affect the head-
phone jack.)
PANLOC
Mclntosh developed PANLOC mounting brings
professional installations technique to stereo.
When the C 26 has been installed on PANLOC
brackets, pressing the PANLOC buttons locks the
amplifier firmly in position. Depressing the buttons
(as with a ballpoint pen) will release the instru-
ment. It can then be slid forward to the "adjust-
ment" position. In the "adjust" position the top
panel controls PHASE and CENTER CHANNEL
LEVEL can be adjusted. The PANLOC system gives
absolute ease of installation, operation, and main-
tenance.
