McIntosh MX100

There may be circumstances where you may have
better performances by turning these features off.
These features can be enabled or disabled at any
time on the MX100.
Remember to enable CEC on your television if you
want to use CEC with the MX100.
CEC should also be set to Off, if you are using
a third-party control system so that CEC does
compete with your external controller.
The ARC feature, when enabled, will work with the
TV Audio input and a television connected to the
HDMI OUT/ARC connection.
TV Audio Switching, Power Off Control and
Power Saving are only available options if CEC
is turned On.

the TV is turned off and the MX100’s input is set to
an HDMI input. Set to Off, the TV’s power will not
effect the MX100’s Standby mode.

Sleep mode if the audio source is TV and the TV’s
audio output is set as the TV’s speaker. Power
Saving will apply when the MX100 is using an
HDMI input.

volume on an attached TV when the volume is
activated. Off will disable this feature.
