USB Input Operation and Driver Installation
The MA8900 USB Input provides the capability to
playback music from a computer, when the computer
is connected to the rear panel USB connector.
Note: The USB Input is for direct connection to a com-
puter only. To playback music from an USB Drive,
connect the USB Drive to another USB Port on
the computer and select the USB Drive with the
Media Playback Program.
The MA8900 USB Input is compatible with PC
Computers using Microsoft®, Windows 7 (SP1), Win-
dows 8.1 and Windows 10. It is also compatible with

cial McIntosh USB Audio Software Driver needs to be
