Connections to Analog Preamplifier and Integrated Amplifier
The MCT500 Digital Audio MCT Output Connec-
tor outputs PCM and SACD Digital Disc Signals when
connected to a compatible McIntosh Preamplifier or
Integrated Amplifier. Power Control provides the abil-
ity to be remotely switched On/Off from a Preamplifi-
er or Integrated Amplifier via the PWR CTRL (Power
Control) Connection.
The MCT500 Data Port Connection allows for the
remote operation of basic functions using the Pream-
plifier or Integrated Amplifier Remote Control. With
an external sensor connected to the MCT500, remote
control operation is possible from another room and/
or when the MCT500 is located in a cabinet with the
doors closed.
The connection instructions below, together with
the MCT500 Connection Diagram located on the
separate folded sheet “Mc1A” is an example of a typi-
cal audio system. Your system may vary from this,
however the actual components would be connected in
a similar manner. For additional information refer to
“Connector and Cable Information” on page 4.
Power Control Connections:
1. Connect a Control Cable from the Preamplifier
or Integrated Amplifier Power Control Main Out
Jack to the POWER CONTROL IN Jack on the
McIntosh MCT500 SACD/CD Transport.
2. Optionally, connect a Control Cable from the
MCT500 SACD/CD Transport POWER CON-
TROL OUT Jack to additional McIntosh compo-
nents with a Power Control In Jack.
Data Control Connections:
3. When a Data Port connection on the Preampli-
fier or Integrated Amplifier is available, connect a
Control Cable from the Preamplifier or Integrated
Amplifier (Setup Assigned) Data Port Jack to the
McIntosh MCT500 SACD/CD Transport DATA
IN Jack.
Sensor Connections:
4. Optionally, connect an IR Sensor to the McIntosh
MCT500 SACD/CD Transport IR IN Jack.
Digital Audio Connections:
5. Connect the supplied Digital MCT Cable from
the McIntosh MCT500 SACD/CD Transport
DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT MCT connector to
the Digital MCT Audio Input Connector on the
Preamplifier or Integrated Amplifier.
Notes: 1. For playback of SACD Discs, the Digi-
tal MCT Output Connection between the
MCT500 and Digital MCT Audio Input on
a Preamplifier or Integrated Amplifier is
required.
2. When playing back high resolution DVD
Data or CD Data Disc PCM record-
ing with a sampling rate higher than
92kHz/24Bit, the Optical or Coaxial con-
nection between the MCT500 and Pre-
amplifier or Integrated Amplifier will be
required for listening.
6. Connect a fiber Optical Cable from the MCT500
SACD/CD Transport DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT
OPTICAL Connector to the Optical Digital Input
1 on the Preamplifier or Integrated Amplifier.
Note: A Coaxial Cable Connection may be used
instead of the Optical Connection.
AC Power Cords Connections:
7. Connect the McIntosh MCT500 SACD/CD Trans-
port AC Power Cord to a live AC outlet.
