1. For additional connection information, refer to the 

owner’s manual(s) for any component(s) connected to 

the MC205 Power Amplifier.

2. The Main AC Power going to the MC205 and any other 

McIntosh Component(s) should not be applied until all 

the system components are connected together. Failure 

to do so could result in malfunctioning of some or all of 

the system’s normal operations. When the MC205 and 

other McIntosh Components are in their Standby Power 

Off Mode, some of the circuitry inside each compo-

nent is active and communication is occurring between 

them.

3. In the event the MC205 overheats, due to improper 

ventilation and/or high ambient temperature, the protec-

tion circuits will activate. The Front Panel Power Guard 

LEDs will continuously indicate ON and the audio will 

be muted. When the MC205 has returned to a safe oper-

ating temperature, normal operation will resume.
