1. Connecting Cables and Connectors are available from the
McIntosh Parts Department:
Data and Power Control Cable Part No. 170-202
Six foot, shielded 2 conductor, with 1/8 inch stereo mini
phone plugs on each end.
Control Center to Multi Channel Power Amplifier Cable
Part No. 170-631
Six foot, DB25, shielded, straight through, 25 conductor
male-to-female cable.
Control Center to CR12 Cable Part No. 170-430
Six foot, DB37, shielded, straight through, 37 conductor
male-to-male cable.
CR12 Keypad Terminal Plug Part No. 117-634
Five Pin connector for attaching the 4 conductor cable to the
CR12 Keypad Socket.
2. For additional connection information, refer to the owners
manual(s) for any component(s) connected to the MX132 A/V
Tuner Control Center.
3. When the MX132 is connected to a McIntosh MC7205 Power
Amplifier with a 25 conductor cable, the amplifier meters will
automatically indicate the output of each individual channel
during the Speaker Level Setup Operation. This meter
function is independent of any Meter Mode selections on the
MC7205 front panel.
4. When the MX132 is connected to a CR12 Controller Input B
jack with the 37 conductor cable, do not connect a 25
conductor cable to the CR12 Controller Input A jack from
another McIntosh Control Center.
5. System Setup operations must be performed in the order they
appear in the Main System Setup Menu as they are
interactive.
6. The Zone A and Zone B IR Inputs, with 1/8 inch mini phone
jacks, are configured for non-McIntosh IR sensors such as a
Xantech Model 291-10. To avoid possible interaction,
disable the MX132 Front Panel Sensor with the switch
recessed in the bottom panel behind the Setup pushbutton.
7. In order to hear bass frequencies below 80Hz, your system
must include either a subwoofer or Large Front
loudspeakers.
8. Zone B Video is composite only. A Digital Audio Input Signal
Source will not appear at the Zone B Audio Outputs. The
source component must also have its Analog Outputs to be
connected to an Analog Input heard in Zone B.

four leads of a shielded 4 conductor cable to a keypad ter-
minal connector, according to the numbers listed below.
There is a similar numbered connector built-in to each key-
pad.

9. When an assigned Digital input and a matching Analog input
are in use, the MX132 automatically searches first for a
Digital signal which is then fed to the appropriate decoder
circuits. If no digital signal is sensed, it switches to the
Analog input to send an analog signal to the appropriate
decoder circuits.
10. Certain DVD or Laser Video Disc players that are
reproducing Digital DTS signals fed to an MX132 Digital
input, may feed only noise from their Analog outputs at the
same time. If Zone B is turned on and the matching MX132
Analog input is selected, the noise will be heard.
11. When the MX132 is connected with a CR12, the MX132
provides fixed specific audio signals that match the CR12
inputs. For example, if the MX132 TV input (7), is
reassigned as DVD2, selecting the TV input on the CR12
will receive the audio signals from DVD2 connected to the
MX132 input Number 7.
