Power

With the POWER Switch set to the OFF/REMOTE

Position, the MC205 will turn On or Off

when an A/V Control Center turns On

or Off. For manual operation, place the

POWER Switch to the ON Position as

desired. Refer to figure 9.

Note: There must be a power control

connection between the MC205 and

the McIntosh A/V Control Center in

order for the remote power turn-on

to function.

Meter Illumination

Place the METER LIGHTS Switch to the ON position

for Illuminated Meters or place the switch to the Off

position for no Illumination. When Power Control In-

put ZA (Zone A only) of the MC205

is connected to a McIntosh A/V

Control Center or Preamplifier with

Remote Meter Illumination Control,

the Meter Illumination will automati-

cally be remotely controlled (On/Off)

with the METER LIGHTS Switch

to set to the ON position. Refer to

figure 10.

Impedance Switch

The MC205’s Dynamic Power Manager circuitry

allows for the connection of either 4 ohm or 8 ohm

Loudspeakers to its output terminals, while at the

same time delivering the same power

output. Refer to figure 11. Place the

IMPEDANCE Switch, located on

the rear panel, to the position (4 ohm

or 8 ohm) that matches the imped-

ance of the connected Loudspeakers.

In the event that some of the Loudspeakers in the

system are of different impedance,

use the impedance of the Left and

Right Front Loudspeakers to set

the IMPEDANCE Switch position.

Refer to figure 12.

Power Output Meters

The MC205 Power Output Meters are calibrated to

allow for the direct reading of either the Power Out-

put in Watts or Decibels for Loudspeakers connected

to Channels 1, 3 and 5. The meters respond to all the

musical information being produced by the amplifier.

They indicate to an accuracy of at least 95% of the

power output with only a single cycle of a 2000Hz

tone burst. Refer to figure 13.
