Power

With the POWER Switch set to the OFF/REMOTE 

Position, the MC205 will turn On or Off 

when an A/V Control Center turns On 

or Off. For manual operation, place the 

POWER Switch to the ON Position as 

desired. Refer to figure 9.

Note: There must be a power control 

connection between the MC205 and 

the McIntosh A/V Control Center in 

order for the remote power turn-on 

to function.

Meter Illumination

Place the METER LIGHTS Switch to the ON position 

for Illuminated Meters or place the switch to the Off 

position for no Illumination. When Power Control In-

put ZA (Zone A only) of the MC205 

is connected to a McIntosh A/V 

Control Center or Preamplifier with 

Remote Meter Illumination Control, 

the Meter Illumination will automati-

cally be remotely controlled (On/Off) 

with the METER LIGHTS Switch 

to set to the ON position. Refer to 

figure 10.

Impedance Switch

The MC205’s Dynamic Power Manager circuitry 

allows for the connection of either 4 ohm or 8 ohm 

Loudspeakers to its output terminals, while at the 

same time delivering the same power 

output. Refer to figure 11. Place the 

IMPEDANCE Switch, located on 

the rear panel, to the position (4 ohm 

or 8 ohm) that matches the imped

-

ance of the connected Loudspeakers.               

In the event that some of the Loudspeakers in the 

system are of different impedance, 

use the impedance of the Left and 

Right Front Loudspeakers to set 

the IMPEDANCE Switch position. 

Refer to figure 12.

Power Output Meters

The MC205 Power Output Meters are calibrated to 

allow for the direct reading of either the Power Out-

put in Watts or Decibels for Loudspeakers connected 

to Channels 1, 3 and 5. The meters respond to all the 

musical information being produced by the amplifier. 

They indicate to an accuracy of at least 95% of the 

power output with only a single cycle of a 2000Hz 

tone burst. Refer to figure 13.
