Performance Features
Introduction
•
On Screen and Multifunction Fluorescent Displays
A comprehensive On-Screen Display capability makes it
easy to perform setup adjustments using the MX134 Re-
mote Control. The front panel display indicates volume
levels, tuner functions, input selection, operating mode and
setup functions.
••
Automatic Mode Switching with Auto Memory
The MX134 Automatically Switches Operating Modes ac-
cording to the input signal. Zone A will memorize the Pre-
ferred Mode settings last used for each input. When switch-
ing from one input to another, the selected mode for each
will be active.
•
Separate Listen and Record Input Selection
The 11 Analog A/V and 6 Digital Audio Inputs can be reas-
signed for any desired signal sources. Any unused input
can be “turned off” so the input selector will skip over it.
All six digital inputs can be assigned to any A/V signal
source for Zone A. Separate Record and Listen Circuits al-
low recording of one program source while listening to an-
other.
•
LED Channel Status Indicators
The MX134 includes thirteen LEDs on the front panel to
indicate what type of operating signals are being received
and the output format chosen.
•
Pure Stereo Outputs
When Stereo Operation is selected for an analog source,
pure, unprocessed stereo signals appear at the left and right
front outputs.
••
Adjustable Channel Level and Time Delay
A built-in test signal generator allows all eight channels to
be calibrated for precise volume levels with either auto-
matic or manual channel switching and can be adjusted for
time delay to compensate for different distances from each
Loudspeaker to the listening area.

tional McIntosh sonic excellence.

THX
®
Signal Processing
The THX CINEMA SURROUND mode with THX Signal
processing present, will provide the best possible reproduc-
tion of a film sound track that was originally created for
use in a movie theater. THX Re-Equalization™ and Timbre
Matching™ takes the edginess or “brightness” out of your
Movie Sound Tracks and matches the tone of your Front
Loudspeakers to your surrounds. Adaptive Decorrelation™
gives a stereo “feel” when your Surrounds are playing
mono and automatically switches off when they are playing
stereo. Bass Management™ Electronic Crossover allows
you to use more compact Loudspeakers, while sending
bass to a Subwoofer System. Loudspeaker Position Time
Synchronization™ lets you easily set up your Home The-
ater System for an optimum listening position.
•
Dual Zone and Additional Expansion
The MX134 has the built-in ability to control a separate
remote audio/video zone with its own dedicated power am-
plifier and speakers. Zone B program selection is indepen-
dent of the Zone A selected program. A rear panel connec-
tor is provided to interface with the CR16 Remote Control
System to add four additional Remote A/V Zones.
••
Special Power Supply
Fully regulated power supply with double shielded power
transformer ensures stable noise free operation even if the
power line should vary.
