How to Operate the Setup Modes
Your McIntosh C1000 has been factory configured for de-
fault operating settings that will allow immediately enjoy-
ment of superb audio without the need for further adjust-
ments. If you wish to make changes to the factory default
settings, a Setup Feature is provided to customize the oper-
ating settings using the Front Panel Alphanumeric Display
on the C1000C Controller. The setup fuctions available for
change and/or adjustments are dependent upon connection
of the Preamplifier(s) connected to the C1000C Controller,
C1000P, C1000T or both.
1. The Red LED above the STANDBY/ON push-button
lights to indicate the C1000 is in Standby mode and is
connected to a live AC Outlet. To switch On the
C1000, press the STANDBY/ON push-button. Refer
to figure 2. The Alphanumeric Display will indicate the
last input listened to. If this is the first time the C1000
is switched on, the display will indicate “15 TUNER”,
refer to figure 3a. If both Preamplifiers (C1000P and
C1000T) are connected to the same C1000 Controller
the display will indicate “15 TUNER1”, refer to fig-
ure 3b.
Notes: 1.
Dependent upon which Preamplifier
(C1000P and/or C1000T) is connected to the
C1000C, the Front Panel Alphanumeric
Display will indicate different operational
messages when switched On, refer to page 42
for additional information. If the Front Panel
Alphanumeric Display indicates CABLE
ERROR, refer to figure 4, remove the AC Power
Cord from the Rear Panel of the C1000C. Then
check to verify that both interconnect cables

coming from the C1000P and/or C1000T are
connected to the correct sockets on the Rear
Panel of the C1000C. Refer to page 12 for the
C1000P, refer to page 14 for the C1000T or
refer to page 16 for the C1000P and C1000T
combination. After correcting the cable
connection error, reconnect the AC Power Cord
to the Rear Panel of the C1000C. Perform Step
one again.
2. When both Preamplifiers (C1000P and C1000T)
are connected to the same C1000 Controller,
the C1000P Preamplifier default Input Title
names will have a number 1 added to the end of
the Title. Refer to figure 3b. The C1000T
Preamplifer default Input Title names will have
a number 2 added to the end of the Title. Refer
to
figure
3c.
3. There is no Input Title
“D/A2” available when both Preamplifiers
(C1000P and C1000T) are connected to the
same C1000 Controller, the McIntosh
MDA1000 may be connected to either
preamplifier.
2. Press the C1000C Front Panel SETUP push-button
once. The LED above the SETUP Push-button will il-
