by the MXA80 Remote Control. For additional
information refer to the Owner’s Manual supplied
with the other McIntosh Component and look in
the “Setup Section - Remote Control Codes” of
the manual. In those rare instances where using
the “Alternate Codes” is not possible, the Remote
Control Sensor on the MXA80 can be switched Off
and the Front Panel Controls can be used for opera-
tion instead of using the Remote Control. Refer to
page 20.
7. For the best performance and safety, it is important
to always match the impedance of the Loudspeaker
to the Power Amplifier connections. Refer to pages
10 and 11.
Note: The impedance of a Loudspeaker actually var
ies as the Loudspeaker reproduces different
frequencies. As a result, the nominal impedance
rating of the Loudspeaker (usually measured at
a midrange frequency) might not always agree
with the impedance of the Loudspeaker at low
frequencies where the greatest amount of power
is required. Contact the Loudspeaker Manufac
turer for additional information about the actual
impedance of the Loudspeaker before connecting
it to the McIntosh MXA80.
8. Sound Intensity is measured in units called Deci-
bels and “dB” is the abbreviation.
9. When discarding the unit, comply with
local rules or regulations. Batteries
should never be thrown away or inciner-
ated but disposed of in accordance with
the local regulations concerning battery disposal.

for Loudspeaker Connection, the spade
lugs need an opening of at least 3/10 inch

2. Apply AC Power to the MXA80 and other McIn-
@#*% & &# #-
nents are connected together. Failure to do so may
cause a malfunction of system operations as the
Microprocessor’s Circuitry inside the components
is active when AC Power is applied.
3.
The MXA80 includes an Auto Off Power Save
Feature and the default setting is enabled.
For
additional information including how to disable it,
refer to page 19.
4. When Power Amplifier Protection Circuitry of
the MXA80 has activated, the Front Panel Power
Guard LEDs are illuminated continuously and the
sound will be muted.
5. If the Power Transformer has overheated due to
improper ventilation and/or high ambient operat-
ing temperature, AC Power is removed from the
MXA80. Normal operation will resume when the
operating temperature is in a safe range again.
6. The Remote Control supplied with the MXA80 is
also capable of operating other McIntosh Com-
ponents. These other components may include
Preamplifiers, A/V Control Centers, Integrated
Amplifiers, Source Components and Integrated
Audio Systems. There is a chance the MXA80 and
one of these other components may both respond
to a command issued by the MXA80 Remote
Control or the Remote Control supplied with the
other component. This could affect operations such
as Volume Up/Down and Power On/Off. Many of
these other McIntosh components have the ability
to utilize what is known as “Alternate Codes” to
prevent them from responding to commands issued
