MCD550 Connections
MCD550 Connections
The MCD550 has the ability to be remotely switched
On/Off from a McIntosh Preamplifier or A/V Con-
trol Center via the Power Control connection. The
MCD550 Data Port Connection allows for the remote
operation of basic functions using the Preamplifier or
A/V Control Center Remote Control. With an external
sensor connected to the MCD550, remote control op-
eration is possible from another room and/or when the
MCD550 is located in a cabinet with the doors closed.
The connection instructions below, together with
the MCD550 Connection Diagram located on the
separate folded sheet “Mc1A, is an example of a typi-
cal audio or audio/video system. Your system may
vary from this, however the actual components would
be connected in a similar manner. For additional in-
formation refer to “Connector and Cable Information”
