MCD1100 Connections

MCD1100 Connections

The MCD1100 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 
MCD1100 Data Port Connection allows for the remote 
operation of basic functions using the Preamplifier or 
A/V Control Center Remote Control. With an exter-
nal sensor connected to the MCD1100, remote control 
operation is possible from another room and/or when 
the MCD1100 is located in a cabinet with the doors 
closed.

The connection instructions below, together with 

the MCD1100 Connection Diagram located on the sep-
arate folded sheet “

audio or audio/video system. Your system may vary 
from this, however the actual components would be 
connected in a similar manner. For additional infor-
mation refer to “Connector and Cable Information” on
