This is all easier said than done. Setting up speakers 

for a surround system takes planning, measuring and 

installation. Depending on your level of expertise 

and available time, you may wish to employ the 

services of your McIntosh Dealer for expert setup of 

your system. Professional installation of in-ceiling 

speakers is particularly important due to gravity and 

the location above your head.

The number, types and locations of speakers are 

key elements in setting up the system. There are 

a multitude of possible configurations, and the 

MX170 is very flexible in its setup to adapt to many 

configurations.

Often surround setups are referred to by numbers 

for example 7.1.4 or 9.1.2. The first number refers to 

the number of traditional surround speakers (front, 

center and surround). The second number is the 

number of subwoofers that can be connected, and 

the third number refers to the number of in-ceiling 

or upward firing speakers in the setup.

The type of speaker (size and location) will be 

entered later during Speaker setup. The distance 

of the speaker from the listening location will be 

entered in the RoomPerfect™  setup. Make note of 

this information.

At this stage, the connection from the MX170 to the  

various amplifiers and powered speakers should be 

made using quality balanced XLR cables. 

Power Control (Trigger) Outputs

The MX170 has four power control Outputs, one for 

Zone A and one for Zone B, and two that allow for 

custom setup. Power Control enables power on/off 

signals to go to connected components so that other 

components can automatically power on (or off) as 

called for by the MX170. For example, you may 

want a DVD player and certain monitor to power on 

when HDMI 1 Input is selected, or you may want 

all components to power off when powering off the 

MX170.

Connect components using a 3.5mm stereo mini 

plug. See Figure 07 below.

For components that will power on when Zone A 

is active, use Power “A” and for Zone B use Power 

“B”. For custom settings, connect to Power “1” and 

Power “2” which will be configured in the Setup 

program later on.

Digital Zone B Output

This coaxial digital audio Output provides a fixed 

level Output from the selected Zone B source. Use a 

digital coaxial cable with a male RCA connector.

Net 2 Out

This port allows an additional network connected 

component to be connected without needing an 

additional router port. Use an ethernet cable to 

connect the component to the Net 2 Out port. 

This port functions when the MX170 is on or 

in “Network” Standby mode. In “Deep sleep” 

standby mode, the Net 2 Port will not function. 

Standby options are controlled in SETUP>System 

configuration>General setup> under the Power 

management section. (For explanation of menu path 

notation see the box on page 14.)

Data Out

The MX170 will convert IR Remote Control data 

to share with McIntosh components connected to 

the Data Ports. This allows units out of range of an 

IR signal to receive commands. There are four Data 

Ports. Each port can be assigned to different Inputs 

so that only the components involved with the Input 

will receive data. For instance, HDMI 1 can be 

assigned to DATA OUT 1 and a connected McIntosh 

DVD player can be controlled when the HDMI 

Input is selected. A unit connected to a different 

Data Port would not receive the commands. 

To assign a Data Port to an Input, go to 

SETUP>Source>[choose source]>Data out>[select 

data out #.

To connect a McIntosh unit to a Data Port, use a 

3.5mm stereo mini phone plug cable. See Figure 08.
