conductor male-to-male cable.

MX132 to CR16 and CR16 to CR16 Cable Part No.

170-430

Six foot, DB37, shielded, straight through, 37 conductor

male-to-male cable.

Control Center to Multi Channel Power Amplifier Cable

Part No. 170-631

Six foot, DB25, shielded, straight through, 25 conductor

male-to-female cable.

CR16 Keypad Terminal Plug Part No. 117-634

Five Pin connector for attaching the 4 conductor cable to

the CR16 Keypad Socket.

2. The Main AC Power going to the CR16 and any other

McIntosh Component(s) should not be applied until all the

system components are connected together. When the CR16

and other McIntosh Components are in their Standby Power

Off Mode the Microprocessors Circuitry inside each

component is active and communication is occurring between

them. Failure to do so could result in malfunctioning of some

or all of the systems normal operations.

General Notes

3. Up to four sensors or keypads can be wired in parallel for a

single zone and up to six CR16s can be connected together in

one system, along with a MX132/MX130/C39.

4. For additional information on Video/Audio connections, refer

to the owners manual(s) for the component(s).

5. The CR16 Input Source Name DVD is equivalent to V-

Aux on some McIntosh Keypads, Remote Controls and

Audio/Video Control Centers.

6. If the CR16 is interconnected with a McIntosh MX132/

MX130/C39 A/V Control Center, and both components are

located together, the internal front panel IR sensor on all the

CR16(s) must be disabled. When multiple CR16s are

connected together in a stand alone system, the front panel

sensors on all the CR16s,

except for the first CR16, also need

to be disabled. This avoids interference problems caused by

sending remote control IR commands simultaneously to the

front panel sensors of all the units. To disable the CR16 Front

Panel Sensor, move the recessed slide switch to the Off

position. It is located through the opening in the bottom panel

behind the Front Panel between the RESET and MUTE Push-

buttons.

7. When the CR16 is connected with a MX132/MX130/C39 A/V

Control Center, certain Analog Audio Inputs and their Data

Control Signals from the A/V Control Center are passed on to

the CR16 via the DB37 or DB25 connectors. The MX132 has

re-assignable input names; the number in parenthesis, to the

left of the factory default names, refers to actual connections

on the rear panel of the MX132.

CR16 Inputs MX132 Inputs MX130/C39 Inputs

TUNER TUN (0) TUNER

AUX AUX (1) AUX

CD CD2 (3) CD2

TAPE TAPE 1 (4) TAPE 1

TV TV (7) None

LV LV (8) None

VCR VCR1 (9) None

DVD DVD (11) None

8. If an Audio Source Component, such as a separate tuner, is

connected to the CR16 Tuner Input and the CR16 is

connected to a McIntosh A/V Control Center (MX132/

MX130) conflict will occur between the two tuners. To

prevent this from happening it is necessary to disable, in the

DB37 or DB25 interconnecting cable between the two units,

the Left & Right Audio along with the Data Control for that

input. This can be simply performed by cutting out the three

pins for that input. The pin outs for both the DB37 and DB25

connectors are shown below:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ... 27 28
