MX121 Main Zone Input Connections
MX121 Main Zone Input Connections
The MX121 has the ability to automatically switch
power On/Off to McIntosh Source Components via
the Power Control/Trigger connections. The Data Port
Connections allow for the remote operation of basic
functions using the MX121 Remote Control. With an
external sensor connected, remote control operation of
the system is possible when the MX121 is located in a
cabinet with the doors closed (Main Zone).
The Main Zone connection instructions below,
together with the MX121 Input Connection Diagram
located on the separate folded sheets “

ponents would be connected in a similar manner. For
