How to Operate the MC126

Power On

To have the MC126 turn On or Off when a multichannel

system turns On or Off, the Front Panel Power Switch must

be left in the ON position and the

Rear Panel Power Control Switch

must be in the REMOTE Position. For

non-remote operation, set the Rear

Panel Power Control Switch to LO-

CAL and use the Front Panel Power

Switch to turn the MC126 On or Off

as desired. Refer to figure 9.

Note: There must be a power control

connection between the MC126 and the McIntosh A/V

Control Center or Surround Decoder in order for the

remote power turn-on to function.

Input Level Controls

When using a McIntosh A/V Control Control Center or

Surround Decoder set all six level con-

trols to the 1.6V position. If an A/V

Control Center or Surround Decoder has

a 0.8V output rating, set the controls to

the 0.8V position. If an increase or de-

crease in amplifier sensitivity is required

for other applications, set the controls as desired. Refer to

figure 10.

Mode Switch

The MODE Switch allows a pair of MC126 channels to be

used in two different operating configura-

tions. Refer to figure 11.

Stereo: Each channel operates indepen-

dently as 120 watt amplifiers.

Mono: A channel pair operates in bridged configura-

tion for a single monaural 275 watt amplifier.

The versatile McIntosh MC126 can be used in two differ-

ent Operating Modes. The three channel pairs can be used

in Stereo Mode to supply 120 watts (4 ohm) to each of the

Home Theater Systems six channels. Any of the three ste-

reo pairs can be set to Mono (Bridged) Mode to supply 275

watts (8ohm) of power when greater power is desired. Re-

fer to figures 10, 11 and 12.

1. Set the MODE Switch to the

MONO position.

2. Adjust the MONO Level control

to the 1.6V position if using a

McIntosh A/V Control Center or Surround Decoder.

3. Connect the cable from the signal source component to

the MONO In jack.

4. Connect loudspeaker cables to the terminals marked (-)

and (+) MONO.
