1. Connect the CR12 power cord to a live AC outlet.
2. Connect a McIntosh Power Controller to the CR12 us-
ing either the Din or Pwr Ctl (power control) connector
and connect zone amplifier power cords to the appro-
priate outlets on the Power Controller.
3. Connect a McIntosh multi channel amplifier with a
DB25 computer type cable from the CR12 Multi-Chan-
nel Amp connector to amplifier input connector.
Note: Both audio and zone power control pass through this
cable. Discrete zone audio cables may also be used,
either balanced or unbalanced. Refer to Page 5 for the
Din plug balanced terminal connections. Also connect a
cable from the CR12 Din Multi-Channel Amp connector
to the matching connector on the amplifier to provide
zone power control.
4. Connect a WK-3/WK-4 keypad, using 4 conductor
shielded cable to a zone keypad terminal connector or
connect a WK-2 keypad or R649 wall sensor to a zone
sensor connector with RG6 or RG59U coax cable.
5. Connect the video outputs of A/V source components to
the CR12 video inputs and audio outputs to CR12 au-
dio inputs.
6. For dedicated zone source components, connect their
Audio, Video and Data outputs to the CR12 Zone Aux
In connectors.
Note: The A/V source signals used in a dedicated zone replace
the front panel Aux signal source selection and are
automatically switched when a plug is inserted into the
Data port. If no data cable is used, insert 1/8 inch mini
Stereo phone plug, (with a lead connected from the tip to
the ring), into the Data port to activate the switching.
7. Connect the outputs of audio source components to the
CR12 audio inputs.
8. Connect the Video Out to Mon to the Video input of a
remote zone TV or monitor.
