1. For additional connection information, refer to the 

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

the MA7000 Integrated Amplifier.

2. The Main AC Power going to the MA7000 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 

MA7000 and other McIntosh Components are in their 

Standby Power Off Mode, the Microprocessor’s Circuit-

ry inside each component is active and communication 

is occurring between them.
