General Information

1. For additional connection information, refer to the owner’s manual(s) for any component(s) connected to the MAC7200.
2. Apply AC Power to the MAC7200 and other McIntosh Component(s) only after all the system components are connected together. Failure to do so may cause a malfunction of system operations as the Microprocessor’s Circuitry inside the components is active when AC Power is applied.
3. The MAC7200 includes an Auto Off Power Save Feature and the default setting is enabled. For additional information including how to disable it, refer to page 22.
4. When Power Amplifier Protection Circuitry of the MAC7200 has activated, the Front Panel Power Guard LEDs are illuminated continuously and the sound will be muted.
5. When the Power Transformer has overheated due to improper ventilation and/or high ambient operating temperature, AC Power is removed from the MAC7200. Normal operation will resume when the operating temperature is in a safe range again.
6. For the best performance and safety, it is important to always match the impedance of the Loudspeaker to the Power Amplifier connections. Refer to pages 13 and 14. Note: The impedance of a Loudspeaker actually varies as the Loudspeaker reproduces different frequencies. As a result, the nominal impedance rating of the Loudspeaker (usually measured at a midrange frequency) might not always agree with the impedance of the Loudspeaker at low frequencies where the greatest amount of power is required. Contact the Loudspeaker Manufacturer for additional information about the actual impedance of the Loudspeaker before connecting
it to the McIntosh MAC7200.

7. The MAC7200 Remote Control is capable of operating other components. For additional information go to www.mcintoshlabs.com.
8. RF Multipath interferance can occur when the MAC7200 receives two or more signals from the Tuned in FM Broadcast Station. The first signal received is the direct signal from the station and additional signals received are delayed because they have reflected off of a building or terrain (hill/mountain). This delay results in an increase in distortion and a reduction in Stereo Separation. To reduce or eliminate Multipath, reorient the direction of the FM Antenna for minimum indication of Multipath even if the Signal Strength indicates less signal. Refer to pages 33 and 34.
9. The IR Input, with a 1/8 inch mini phone jack, is configured for non- McIntosh IR sensors such as Xantech Model DL85K Kit. Use a Connection Block such as a Xantech Model ZC21 when two or more IR sensors need to be connected to the MAC7200. The signal from a connected External IR Sensor will have priority over the signal from the Front Panel IR Sensor.
10. When discarding the unit, comply with local rules or regulations. Batteries should never be thrown away or incinerated but disposed of in accordance with the local regulations concerning battery disposal.
