change the capacitance from the default value of 50pf set-

ting perform the following steps:

1. Press the SETUP Push-button twice to access the Setup

Preamp Mode unless the C500C is already in the Setup

Preamp Mode.

2. Rotate the MENU Control until the Alphanumeric Dis-

Moving Coil Cartridge Resistance

The C500 allows the adjustment of the Moving Coil Resis-

tive Loading to accommodate a wide variety of cartridge

types and turntable/cabling combinations. The range of ad-

justment is from 25 ohms to 1,000 ohms in six increments.

To change the resistive load from the default value of 25

ohms setting perform the following steps:

1. Press the SETUP Push-button twice to access the Setup

Preamp Mode unless the C500C is already in the Setup

Preamp Mode.

2. Rotate the MENU Control until the Alphanumeric Dis-

play indicates “MC 25 OHM”. Refer to figure 52.

3. Rotate the SELECT 2 Control until the desired resis-

Mode or proceed to the next desired Setup Preamp

Mode for adjustment.

Passthru Mode

The C500 can be part of a Multichannel Sound System for

SACD, DVD-Audio and Home Theater. The Right and Left

Front Channels from a McIntosh A/V Control Center or

Surround Decoder can “Passthru” the C500 and onto its

associated Power Amplifier(s). The Setup Mode allows the

activation of the Passthru Mode and the Selection of the

C500 Input that will be used for the Right and Left Front

Channels. In the example below, the Right and Left Front

Channels from the Multichannel Processor/Decoder will be

connected to the CDR Input Jacks on the C500. Refer to

page 13 for additional connection information.

1. Press the SETUP Push-button twice to access the Setup

Preamp Mode unless the C500C is already in the Setup

Preamp Mode.

2. Rotate the MENU Control until the Alphanumeric Dis-

play indicates “PASSTHRU OFF”. Refer to figure 54.

3. Rotate the SELECT 2 Control until the desired Input

appears in the Display, e.g. “PASSTHRU CDR”. Re-

fer to figure 55.

4. If no other adjustments are to be made at this time,

press the SETUP Push-button to exit the Setup Preamp

Mode or proceed to a previous desired Setup Preamp

Mode for adjustment.
