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 Connections allow for
the remote operation of basic functions using the MA6600
Remote Control. With an external sensor connected to the
MA6600, remote control operation of the system is possi-
ble 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
