How to Connect the MEN220
How to Connect the MEN220
The MEN220 has the ability to be remotely switched
On/Off from a Preamplifier or A/V Control Center via
the Power Control connection. The Data Port Connec-
tion allows for the remote operation of basic functions
using the MEN220 Remote Control. With an external
sensor connected to the MEN220, remote control op-
eration is possible from another room and/or when the
MEN220 is located in a cabinet with the doors closed.
The connection instructions below, together with
the MEN220 Connection Diagram “Mc1A” located
on the separate folded sheet, is an example of a typi-
cal audio system. Your system may vary from this,
however the actual components would be connected in
a similar manner. For additional information refer to
“Connector and Cable Information” on page 4.
Power Control Connections:
1. Connect a Control Cable from the Preamplifier or
A/V Control Center Power Control MAIN Jack to
the POWER CONTROL IN Jack on the McIntosh
MEN220.
2. Connect a Control Cable from the MEN220 POW-
ER CONTROL OUT Jack to the Power Amplifier
1 Power Control In Jack.
3. Connect a Control Cable from the Power Ampli-
fier 1 Power Control Out Jack to the Power Ampli-
fier 2 Power Control In Jack.
4. Connect any additional components in a similar
manner, as outlined in steps 2 thru 3.
Data Control Connections:
5. Connect a Control Cable from the Preamplifier or
A/V Control Center SUM Data Port Jack to the
McIntosh MEN220 DATA IN Jack.
Note: If the Preamplifier or A/V Control Center
doesn’t have a SUM Data Port Jack, contact
McIntosh for additional assistance.
Sensor Connections:
6. Connect an external Sensor to the McIntosh
MEN220 IR IN Jack.
Audio Connections:
7. Connect Balanced Cables from the McIntosh
MEN220 BALanced AUDIO INPUT Connectors
to the Preamplifier or A/V Control Center Bal-
anced Output Jacks.

to change the default setting using the
MEN220 Setup Mode. Refer to pages 17
and 18.

nections are both active and may be used at
the same time.
9. Connect a Balanced Cable from the MEN220 Bal-
anced AUDIO OUTPUT (1) L Connector to the
Power Amplifier 2 Balanced Input Connector.
