CAUT IO N: To prevent the risk of electric
shock, first remove the AC Power
Cord from the MA6700 Rear Panel
before i nstalling the
TM Module into the
MA6700 .
1. The semiconductor
devices used in the
TM Module are inherently sensitive to static
electricity even when connected in a circuit,
and can be permanently
damaged by a static
electricit y discharge.
When handling the TM
Module follow the procedures below to insure
against static electricity
damage.
A. Make sure the MA6700 is properly
grounded.
B. Use an approved wrist strap that is
grounded.
C. Remove the TM Module from the Anti-
Static Bag and work with it only after the
above conditions have been met.
General Information
The McIntosh TM2 or TM3 Tuner Module
together with the McIntosh RAA2 A M Antenna
adds AM and FM Radio Broadcast Recept ion to
the MA6700 Integrated Amplifier. The instr uctions in this guide are for inst alling the TM2 or
TM3 into the MA6700.
The TM2 and TM3 Tuner Modules are not a
user installable product. It must be installed by
the Technical Professionals at a McI ntosh Dealer
only.
Installing the Tuner Module
1. If the MA6700 Integrated Amplifier is connected to AC Power, remove the AC Cord
from the Rear Panel.
2. Remove two screws from the MA6700 Rear
Cover and retain the two screws as they will
be used later to secure the Tuner Module.
Refer to figure 1 and 2.
Note: Retain the cover for possible future use.
3. Using the safe handling procedure outlined,
in the “General Information”, remove the
Tuner Module from the Anti-Static Bag.
4. Orient the Tuner Module so the electronic
component parts on the PC Board are facing
upwards and line up the side edges of the
tuner module with the PC Board Guides located inside the MA6700 Metal Cage. Refer
to figures 2, 3A (TM2) or 3B (TM3).
5. Insert the Tuner Module all the way into
the MA6700 and secure the Tuner Module
Metal Plate to the rear panel of the MA6700
with the two previously removed screws. Refer to figures 4A (TM2) or 4B (TM3).
6. Proceed to “Connecting the Tuner Module”
to the external Anten nas.

Tune to a station with the weakest signal and orient the RAA2 A nten na for ma ximum signal with
minimum noise and
distortion. After t he
location is determined,
the RAA2 A M Antenna may be secured
to a suitable surface by
using two #6 1-3/4 to 2
inches (4.44 to 5.08cm)
long screws, refer to the illustration to the right.
Mounting the RAA 2 AM Antenna
1. Using the supplied AM Antenna Shielded
Cable, connect one end into the RAA2 A M
Antenna jack and the other end of the same
cable into the MA6700 Tuner jack labeled
RAA2 A M ANT. Refer to figure 5A with
a TM2 installed and f ig ure 5B with a TM3
instal led.
Note: If a longer AM Antenna Cable is needed,
refer to page 5 “Connector and Cable
Information”.
2. Connect a FM Dipole Antenna to the
MA6700 75 Ohm FM ANT Connector. Refer
to figure 5A for a TM2 installed and f igure
5B for a TM3.
Note: Optionally, connect a 75 ohm coax
cable from a FM Antenna or cable system. For more information about a FM
Dipole Antenna, refer to page 5.
3. Proceed to “Connecting Loudspeakers” i n
the MA6700 Owner’s Manual page 14.
Tune to a station with the weakest signal and orient the top of the “T” shaped Dipole Antenna for
maximum signal with
minimum noise and
distortion. After t he
location is determined,
the FM Dipole Antenna may be secured
to a suitable surface
by using push pins, refer to the illustration to the
right.
