The C500 allows the adjustment of the Moving Magnet Ca-
pacitive 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 C500C is already in the Setup
Preamp Mode.
2. Rotate the MENU Control until the Alphanumeric Dis-
play indicates “MM 50 PF”. Refer to figure 50.
3. Rotate the SELECT 2 Control until the desired capaci-
tance appears in the Display, e.g. “MM 150 PF”. Re-
fer to figure 51.
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 the next desired Setup Preamp
Mode for adjustment.

Moving Coil Cartridge Resistance
The C500 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 C500C is already in the Setup
Preamp Mode.
2. Rotate the MENU Control until the Alphanumeric Dis-
play indicates “MC 25 OHM”. Refer to figure 52.
3. Rotate the SELECT 2 Control until the desired resis-

tance appears in the Display, e.g. “MC 200 OHM”.
Refer to figure 53.
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 the next desired Setup Preamp
Mode for adjustment.
Passthru Mode
The C500 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 C500 and onto its
associated Power Amplifier(s). The Setup Mode allows the
activation of the Passthru Mode and the Selection of the
C500 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 C500. Refer to
page 13 for additional connection information.
1. Press the SETUP Push-button twice to access the Setup
Preamp Mode unless the C500C is already in the Setup
Preamp Mode.
2. Rotate the MENU Control until the Alphanumeric Dis-
play indicates “PASSTHRU OFF”. Refer to figure 54.
3. Rotate the SELECT 2 Control until the desired Input
appears in the Display, e.g. “PASSTHRU CDR”. Re-
fer 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.
