Data and IR Input Port Connectors
The MCT450 Data In Port receives 
Remote Control Signals. A 1/8 inch 
stereo mini phone plug is used for 
connection. The IR Ports also use a 
3.5mm stereo mini phone plug and 
allow the connection of other brand 
IR Receivers to the MCT450.

Power Control Connector
The MCT450 Power Control Input receives an On/Off 
signal from +5 to +12 volts. The Power Control Output 
will then send out a +12 volt 
Output Signal with a total cur-
rent up to 50mA. An additional 
connection is for controlling the 
illumination of the Power Out-
put Meters. The 3.5mm stereo 
mini phone plug connects to a McIntosh Preamplifier 
or A/V Control Center Power Control Output.
