McIntosh C712 User Manual

THE REAR PANEL
AND HOW
TO MAKE
CONNECTIONS
3. MAIN OUTPUTS (Unbalanced)
Connect shielded cables from the C712 MAIN L and R OUTPUTS to the Left and Right
channel power amplifier inputs.
4. TAPE OUTPUTS 1 and 2
These outputs provide signals to feed two separate tape recorders. The program that ap-
pears at the tape outputs is determined by the setting of the front panel INPUT switch. The
TAPE COPY Switch also affects the signals at the tape outputs.
Connect a cable from the C712 Left channel TAPE 1 OUTPUT to the left channel high level
input of a tape recorder. Connect a cable from the C712 Right channel TAPE 1 OUTPUT to
the right channel high level input of the tape recorder. Connect a second tape recorder in
a similar manner, to the TAPE 2 OUTPUTS.
If more than one tape recorder is connected for both record and play, make certain
that the inputs and outputs of each recorder are connected to the same matching
numbered inputs and outputs.
5. PROCESSOR FROM and TO
An external signal processor can be added to the C712 that will affect only the MAIN and
BALANCED Outputs.
The PROCESSOR-FROM jacks have built-in switching contacts to allow normal signals to
pass through when no cables are connected. When an external processor is properly con-
nected, the program signals feed to the processor from the PROCESSOR-TO jacks, and return
to the C712 at the PROCESSOR-FROM jacks.
Connect a cable from the left channel processor output to the C712 left channel
PROCESSOR-FROM jack. Connect a cable from the right channel signal output to the C712
right channel PROCESSOR-FROM jack.
Connect a cable from the C712 left channel PROCESSOR-TO jack to the signal processor
left channel input. Connect a cable from the C712 right channel PROCESSOR-TO jack to the
right channel signal processor input.
WHEN AN EXTERNAL SIGNAL PROCESSOR IS CONNECTED TO THE C712 PRO-
CESSOR JACKS, THE PROCESSOR MUST BE TURNED ON AND OPERATING, OR IN
BYPASS MODE, FOR A PROGRAM TO BE HEARD THROUGH THE SYSTEM.
6. TAPES 1 and 2
Connect a cable from the left channel output of a tape recorder to the C712 L (Left) channel
TAPE 1 or 2 INPUT. Connect a cable from the right channel output to the corresponding R
(Right) TAPE 1 or 2 INPUT. Connect a second tape recorder in a similar manner.
The TAPE INPUTS can also be used for other accessory equipment with similar output levels.
IF MORE THAN ONE TAPE RECORDER IS CONNECTED TO BOTH RECORD AND PLAY,
MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE INPUTS AND OUTPUTS OF EACH RECORDER ARE CON-
NECTED TO THE SAME MATCHING NUMBERED INPUTS AND OUTPUTS.
7. VIDEO
Use these inputs for the audio signals from accessories such as a Laser Disc Player, VCR,
or TV receiver.
Connect a cable from the left channel audio output of the video unit to the C712 L (Left)
channel VIDEO INPUT. Connect a cable from the right channel audio output to the C712 R
(Right) VIDEO INPUT. Use the VIDEO input when an optional MVS-3 Audio/Video Switcher
