Connecting Components
The MA6600 has the ability to automatically switch
power On/Off to McIntosh Source Components via
the Power Control connections. The Data Port Con-
nections allow for the remote operation of basic
functions using the MA6600 Remote Control. With
an external sensor connected to the MA6600, re-
mote control operation of the system is possible from
another room and/or when the MA6600 is located in a
cabinet with the doors closed.
The connection instructions below, together with
the MA6600 Input and Output Connection Diagrams
located on the separate folded sheet “Mc1A/1B”, are
an example of a typical audio system. Your system

would be connected in a similar manner. For addition-
