Important Information
1. It is recommended that a qualified professional assist you in the choice and installation of a McIntosh Audio System for your home.
2. Before making any connections to the MCD1000, make sure that the Main POWER Switch is in the Off position. When the MCD1000 and other McIntosh Components are in their Standby Mode the Microprocessor’s Circuitry inside each component is active and communication is occurring between them. Failure to do so could result in malfunctioning of some or all of the system’s normal operations.
3. The following Connecting Cable is available from the McIntosh Parts Department:
Data and Power Control Cable Part No. 170-202
Six foot, 2 conductor shielded, with two 1/8 inch stereo mini phone plugs.
4. When the MCD1000 Digital XLR Output is used to connect with the Digital XLR Input of the McIntosh MDA1000 D/A Converter, it is important to use a twisted pair shielded cable.
5. For additional connection information, refer to the owner’s manual(s) for any component(s) connected to the MCD1000.
6. The MCD1000 basic transport functions may also be controlled by using the Remote Control that comes with a McIntosh Control Center or Preamplifier. McIntosh Keypads connected to a McIntosh Control Center or Preamplifier will also allow remote operation.
7. Before moving or transporting the MCD1000 CD Transpor t remove any CD Disc from the tray to prevent possible damage to the Transport and/or Discs.

Installation
The MCD1000 can be placed upright on a table or shelf standing on its four feet. It also can be custom installed in a piece of furniture or cabinet of your choice. The four feet may be removed from the bottom of the MCD1000 when it is custom installed as outlined below. The four feet together with the mounting screws should be retained for possible future use if the MCD1000 is removed from the custom in­stallation and used free standing. The required panel cutout, ventilation cutout and unit dimensions are shown.
Always pro­vide adequate ventilation for your MCD1000. Cool operation ensures the longest possible operating life for any elec­tronic instru­ment. Do not install the MCD1000 di­rectly above a heat generating component such as a high pow­ered amplifier . If all the com­ponents are in­stalled in a single cabinet, a quiet running ventilation fan can be a defi­nite asset in maintaining all the system com­ponents at the coolest possible operating tem­perature.
A custom cabinet installa­tion should pro­vide the follow­ing minimum spacing dimen-

sions for cool operation. Allow at least 2 inches (5.08cm) above the top, 2 inches (5.08cm) below the bottom and 1 inch (2.54cm) on each side of the CD T ransport, so that air­flow is not obstructed. Allow 17 inches (43.18cm) depth be­hind the front panel. When a CD Disc is inserted or re­moved, the panel clearance required in front of the mounting panel is 3-3/4 inches (9.5cm). Be sure to cut out a ventila­tion hole in the mounting shelf according to the dimensions in the drawing.

How to Connect
1. Connect a Power Control Cable from the MDA1000 Power Control Out Jack to the POWER CONTROL IN Jack on the McIntosh MCD1000.
Notes: 1. If the MCD1000 CD Transport is not
connected to a McIntosh MDA1000 D/A Converter and instead connected to a McIntosh A/V Control Center with digital inputs, the MCD1000’s Power Control In should be connected to the appropriate Power Control Out Jack on the A/V Control Center.
2. When the MCD1000 and MDA1000 are connected in a non-McIntosh Preamplifier System, the Power Control Cable should be connected from the MCD1000 Power Control Out to the MDA1000 Power Control In.
2. Connect a Data Control Cable from the MDA1000 Line 1 Switched Data Output Jack to DAT A IN Port on the McIntosh MCD1000.
How to Connect
Note: If the MCD1000 CD Transport is not connected to
a McIntosh MDA1000 D/A Converter and instead connected to a McIntosh A/V Control Center with digital inputs, the MCD1000’s Data In should be connected to the appropriate Data Out Jack on the A/V Control Center.
3. Connect a Coaxial Digital Cable from the MDA1000 Coaxial 1 Digital Audio Input to either COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT Jack on the MCD1000.
Note: When the MCD1000 CD Transport is connected to
a McIntosh MDA1000 D/A Converter the Digital Optical Output or the Balanced Digital XRL Output may be used instead of the Coaxial Digital Output. If MCD1000 CD Transport is connected to a McIntosh A/V Control Center with digital inputs either the Coaxial or Optical Outputs my be used.
4. Connect the MCD1000 Power Cord to a live AC outlet.
