General Notes
1. The MX134 A/V Control Center has provisions for adding an
optional McIntosh TM1 AM/FM Tuner Module for Radio
Station Reception. The TM1 is available from your McIntosh
Dealer and can be installed at any time, usually while you
wait. Refer to page 52 for additional TM1 information.
2. The Main AC Power going to the MX134 and any other
McIntosh Component(s) should not be applied until all the
system components are connected together. Failure to do so
could result in malfunctioning of some or all of the system’s
normal operations. When the MX134 and other McIntosh
Components are in their Standby Power Off Mode, the
Microprocessor’s Circuitry inside each component is active
and communication is occurring between them.
3. 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 CR16 Cable Part No. 170-430
Six foot, DB37, shielded, straight through, 37 conductor
male to male cable.
4. For additional connection information, refer to the owner’s
manual(s) for any component(s) connected to the MX134 A/V
Control Center.
5. When the MX134 is connected to a McIntosh MC206 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
MC206 front panel.
6. When the MX134 is connected to a CR16 Controller Input B
jack with the 37 conductor cable, do not connect a 25
conductor cable to the CR16 Controller Input A jack from
another McIntosh Control Center.
7. System Setup operations must be performed in the order they
appear in the Main System Setup Menu as they are interactive.
8. 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 MX134 Front Panel Sensor with the switch recessed in the
bottom panel behind the Setup Push button.
9. In order to hear bass frequencies below 80Hz, your system
must include either a Subwoofer or Large Front
Loudspeakers.
10. Zone B Audio is analog only, a Digital Audio Input Signal
Source will not appear at the Zone B Audio Outputs. The
source component Analog Outputs must also be connected to
the MX134.
11. When an assigned Digital Input and a matching Analog
Input are in use, the MX134 automatically searches first for
General Notes
a Digital Signal. If no Digital Signal is sensed, it switches to
the Analog Input.
12. Certain DVD or Laser Video Disc Players that are
reproducing Digital DTS Signals into a MX134 Digital Input,
may only produce noise from their Analog Outputs. If Zone B
is turned on and that same input is selected, that noise will
be heard.
13. When the MX134 is connected with a CR16, the MX134
provides fixed specific audio signals that match the CR16
Inputs. If the MX134 Inputs listed below are re titled, the
Inputs Titles on the CR16 will no longer match. For example,
if the MX134 TV Input (7), is reassigned as DVD2, selecting
the TV Input on the CR16 will receive the audio signals from
DVD2.

14. The MX134 Input Source Name “DVD” is equivalent to
“V Aux” on some McIntosh Keypads, Remote Controls and
Audio/Video Control Centers.
15. Up to four McIntosh Sensors or Keypads can be wired in
parallel for both Zones A and B.
16. When a McIntosh WK 2 Keypad or an R649 Sensor is to be
connected to the McIntosh MX134 A/V Control Center that
uses a RJ 45 Connector Plug instead of the “F” Coax
Connector, connect the Center Conductor to Pin 1 and the
Shield Conductor to Pin 2. Refer to the figure below.
17. There are three types of Video Signals that can be connected
to and selected by the MX134; Composite, S Video and
Component. Zone A and B, VCR 1 and 2 have both
Composite and S Video Outputs; the Component Video
Output is for Zone A only. The MX134 has Digital Video
Processing Circuitry that will Up Convert the desired
Composite Input to S Video; it will also Up Convert the
desired Composite and/or S Video Inputs to Component
Video.
