How to Operate the MX122
The McIntosh MX122 has been factory configured
for default operating settings, allowing for immedi
-
ate enjoyment of superb video and high fidelity audio
without the need for further adjustments. If you wish
to make changes to the factory default settings, refer
to the SETUP Section of this Owner’s Manual starting
on page 16.
Notes: 1. It is advisable to perform “Audyssey Auto
Setup” starting on page 29, to ensure the
best audio performance.
2. In order for some of the Remote Control
Push-Button Commands to be implemented
by the MX122, such as activating the SETUP
Menu Function, the LCD Display on the Re-

LCD Display does not indicate “AVP”, press
the "AVP" Push-button first before pressing
the SETUP Push-button.

Press the STANDBY ON Push-button on the Front
Panel or press the ON Push-button on the Remote

button indicates when the MX122 is connected to AC
Power. When the Initialization process is over, the
display will indicate the last source selected and the
volume level.
Notes: 1. The first time the MX122 is switched On
the A/V Processor will go through an Initial
Setup Process. Please refer to the separate
supplied sheet
"MX122 Initial Setup Guide"
and follow the instructions.
2. If the MX122 A/V Processor is not going to
be used for an extended period of time, please
remove the AC Power Cord from the AC
Outlet.
