Mcintosh Laboratory has earned a world wide reputation for the technical superiority of
its contributions to high quality sound reproduction. The advanced level of Mcintosh product
innovations has integrity proven by time. The legendary reliability of Mcintosh products is a
matter of record since 1949. The "Classic Mcintosh" design is acknowledged as the most
outstanding in the audio industry.
Mcintosh products are designed to be maximum "User Friendly". Anyone can enjoy using
them. Ease of maintenance is another Mcintosh design philosophy that contributes to the
long useful operating life of all Mcintosh products.
The C39, Audio/Video Control Center is a full featured remote control center for a com-
plete Mcintosh Home Theater System. It provides six audio channels with the added features
of video switching.
The C39 includes all the required Dolby Pro Logic™ decoding circuits to reproduce Dolby
Surround™ encoded movie soundtracks.
You also can enjoy the enhanced movie sound track reproduction possible from Home
THX® Audio processing circuits by having your Mcintosh dealer install the optional Mcintosh
THX-M Module in your C39. The Home THX©
;
Audio System is a licensing program of Lucasfilm
Ltd., which defines new technologies and quality standards for accuracy in home theaters.
The C39 includes a built-in noise generator and the controls necessary for accurate volume
level calibration of all six channels when setting up a home theater.
The C39 has the added feature of the Mcintosh designed "HALL" signal processing cir-
cuits. The "HALL" feature allows you to enhance the realism of two channel program sources
such as a compact disc. The Left and Right signals are reproduced through the Left and Right
Front loudspeakers. The same signals are combined and fed to the center channel loudspeaker
as mono center fill. The combined left and right are also fed to a digital processor with variable
time delay for the surround loudspeakers. If a subwoofer is used in the system, it will also
operate in the "HALL" mode.
The C39 includes a 25 pin connector on the rear panel to accommodate a single sub-
miniature "D" computer type cable which fits a similar connector on a Mcintosh MC7106
six channel power amplifier. This cable carries all six audio signals and AC power control
to the MC7106 for a complete Mcintosh Home Theater System.
The C39 has built-in capability for remotely controlling two separate listening areas. The
LISTEN signals are defined as Area "A" which is usually the main area where all the equip-
ment is located. The RECORD signals are available at a pair of outputs marked "B", and can
be used for a remote area with its own dedicated power amplifier and pair of speakers. The
desired program can be selected in Area "B" with the HR39 Hand Held Remote Controller
transmitting to a wall mounted IR sensor, or from a WK-1 keypad.
Data ports are provided for twelve audio and video remote controlled accessories. This
feature allows you to control a compatible unit by transmitting with its hand held remote con-
troller directly to a C39 sensor. Another data port connects to the optional Mcintosh HC-1
Home Controller to allow control of accessories or appliances.
The optional Model RCT-1, Remote Control Translator is also available to interconnect with
the C39. The RCT-1 is a learning device which will allow the C39 to remotely control other
brands of products.
The convenience of C39 remote control operation is enhanced by its capability to directly
interface with the Mcintosh CR10 Remote Control System. The CR10 can add an additional
four remote areas of control.
The C39 includes twelve pairs of high level audio inputs. Seven inputs are for all the tradi-
