How to Connect the MDLP1
How to Connect the MDLP1
The MDLP1 has the ability to automatically switch power
On/Off to McIntosh Components via the Power Control
and Trigger Connections. The Data Port Connections allow
for the remote operation of the MDLP1 from other McIn-
tosh Components. With an external sensor connected to
the MDLP1, remote control operation is possible when the
MDLP1 is located in an enclosure.
The connection instructions below, together with the
AP1000/MDLP1/VP1000 Input and Control Connection
Diagrams located on the separate folded sheet “Mc2A and
Mc2B”, are an example of a typical audio/video system.
Your system may vary from this; however, the actual com-
ponents would be connected in a similar manner.
For additional information refer to “Connector and
Cable Information” on page 6.
Note: With the addition of a McIntosh Power Controller
connected to the MDLP1,
AC Power Switching can
be provided to components such as a motorized
projection screen. Contact your McIntosh Dealer for
additional information.
