TO MAKE
CONNECTIONS
nector to a matching connector on a Mclntosh CD player or changer. This allows you
to control CD player functions with the C712 remote controller transmitting to a C712
IR sensor. You could use CD1 for a single play CD player and CD2 for a CD changer.
15. POWER CONTROL
This connector supplies a 5 volt, DC Logic 1 control signal to feed to a similar Power
Control input on a compatible power amplifier or accessory. The POWER CONTROL
signal is used to turn the AC power of the accessory component on and off.
The POWER CONTROL connector uses single conductor shielded wire with 1/8
inch mini Phono plugs. Connections are to the top and sleeve of the plug.
16. DATA PORTS
The eight DATA PORTS provide data signals to be fed to compatible audio and
video accessories. This allows you to control the accessory components with their
own remote controllers transmitting to a C712 IR sensor.
The SUM DATA PORT can be used to connect to a Mclntosh RCT-2 Remote
Control Translator. Any IR signal transmitted to a C712 IR sensor results in data
signals at this port. The RCT-2 is a learning device that will allow the C712 to
remotely control most major brands of accessory components.
Use the VIDEO DATA PORT to connect to the MVS-3 Audio Video Switcher.
All cables connected from the data ports use shielded wire with 1/8" mini phone
plugs. Connections are to the sleeve and tip of the plug.
17. GND (Ground).
If there is a separate ground wire from the turntable, connect it to the GND terminal.
