How to Operate the MX121
The McIntosh MX121 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 17, to ensure the
best audio performance.
2. In order for some of the Remote Control
Push-Button Commands to be implemented
by the MX121, such as activating the MENU
SETUP Function, the LCD Display on the
Remote Control needs to indicate “Mc”. If
the LCD Display does not indicate “Mc”,
press the Push-button first before press-
ing the MENU Push-button.
Power On and Off
Press the STANDBY/ON Push-button on the Front
Panel or press the ON Push-button on the Remote
Control. The LED located above the STANDBY
Push-button indicates when the MX121 is connected
to AC Power. When the Initialization process is over,
the display will indicate “BD” with a volume level of
“M.VOL.---.-dB ”, which is the factory default set-
ting. The next time the MX121 is switched On, the last
source selected at the desired volume will be active.
Note: If the MX121 A/V Control Center is not going to
be used for an extended period of time, please
remove the AC Power Cord from the AC Outlet.
Input Selection
The INPUT Control selects the desired source and is
indicated on the top line of the Front Panel Informa-
tion Display. Refer to figure 40. The selection of the
sources may also be accomplished by pressing the
appropriate push-button twice on the Remote Control.
Refer to figure 44. Using the MX121 INPUT Control,
any one of the Inputs (CD, Tuner, DVD-Blu-ray, etc.)
may be selected along with one Multichannel Analog
Input. The Remote Control has twelve dedicated direct
access push-buttons along with

Volume Control
Adjust the VOLUME Control to select the desired
listening level. The Volume Control adjusts all eight
channels simultaneously, and level is indicated from-
--.-dB to (+)15.0dB 0 to 99% on the bottom line of the
Front Panel Information Display. The Remote Control
may also be used to adjust the listening level by using
the VOLUME
+/-
Push-button.
During the time VOLUME Control is rotated or
the Remote Control VOL
+/-
Push-button is depressed,
an On-Screen Display Overlay will appear showing
the Volume Level. When the MUTE Push-button is
pressed, the Front Panel Information Display will
indicate the word “Mute On” in place of the volume
indication Pressing the MUTE Push-button a second
time, the listening volume level will be restored and
the displays will again indicate the Volume Setting.

of Input Format, Operating/Decoding Modes and the
