McIntosh Multi-Channel Amplifier
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 connector and connect
zone amplifier power cords to the appropriate 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 on 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 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 the CR12 video outputs to
the matching C39/MX130 video inputs.
6. Connect the Audio Outputs from A/V source compo-
nents to both the CR12 and C39/MX130 inputs using a
Y adapter if necessary.
7. 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 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), to
activate the switching.
8. Connect the Video Out to Mon to the Video input of a
remote zone TV or monitor.
9. Connect a DB25 cable from the CR12 Controller Input
A Connector to the To Multi-Room Controller connec-
tor on a McIntosh Control Center.
NOTE: The DB25 cable passes only the CD2, Tuner, Tape 1
and Aux audio along with matching Data, Sys Off and
Power Control signals from the control center to the
CR12.
