The C1000 allows the adjustment of the Moving Magnet
Capacitive Loading to accommodate a wide variety of car-
tridge types and turntable/cabling combinations. The range
of adjustment is from 50pf to 750pf in 50pf increments. To
change the capacitance from the default value of 50pf set-
ting perform the following steps:
1. Press the SETUP Push-button twice to access the Setup
Preamp Mode unless the C1000C is already in the
Setup Preamp Mode.
2. Rotate the BALANCE (Menu) Control until the Alpha-
numeric Display indicates “MM 50 PF”. Refer to
figure 50.
3. Rotate the LISTEN (Select) Control until the desired
capacitance appears in the Display, e.g. “MM 150
PF”. Refer to figure 51.
4. If no other adjustments are to be made at this time,

Moving Coil Cartridge Resistance
The C1000 allows the adjustment of the Moving Coil Resis-
tive Loading to accommodate a wide variety of cartridge
types and turntable/cabling combinations. The range of ad-
justment is from 25 ohms to 1,000 ohms in six increments.
To change the resistive load from the default value of 25
ohms setting perform the following steps:
1. Press the SETUP Push-button twice to access the Setup
Preamp Mode unless the C1000C is already in the
Setup Preamp Mode.
2. Rotate the BALANCE (Menu) Control until the Alpha-
numeric Display indicates “MC 25 OHM”. Refer to
figure 52.
3. Rotate the LISTEN (Select) Control until the desired
resistance appears in the Display, e.g. “MC 200
OHM”. Refer to figure 53.

Passthru Mode
The C1000 can be part of a Multichannel Sound System for
SACD, DVD-Audio and Home Theater. The Right and Left
Front Channels from a McIntosh A/V Control Center or
Surround Decoder can “Passthru” the C1000 and onto its
associated Power Amplifier(s). The Setup Mode allows the
activation of the Passthru Mode and the Selection of the
C1000 Input that will be used for the Right and Left Front
Channels. In the example below, the Right and Left Front
Channels from the Multichannel Processor/Decoder will be
connected to the CDR Input Jacks on the C1000. Refer to
page 22 for additional connection information.
1. Press the SETUP Push-button twice to access the Setup
Preamp Mode unless the C1000C is already in the
Setup Preamp Mode.
2. Rotate the BALANCE (Menu) Control until the Alpha-
numeric Display indicates “PASSTHRU OFF”. Refer
to figure 54.
3. Rotate the LISTEN (Select) Control until the desired
Input appears in the Display, e.g. “PASSTHRU CDR”.
Refer to figure 55.
4. If no other adjustments are to be made at this time,
press the SETUP Push-button to exit the Setup Preamp
Mode or proceed to a previous desired Setup Preamp
Mode for adjustment.
