IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE TO
PROTECT YOU AND THE MclNTOSH
INSTRUMENT. BE SURE TO
FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THEM.
1. Read All Instructions - Read the safety and operating
instructions before operating the instrument.
2. Retain Instructions - Retain the safety and operating
instructions for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings - Adhere to warnings and operating
instructions.
4. Follow Instructions - Follow all operating and use
instructions.
5. Power Sources - Connect the power supply only to
the type described in the operating instructions or
as marked on the unit.
6. Power-Cord Protection - Route power-supply cords
so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying
particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
instrument.
7. Ventilation - Locate the instrument for proper ventilation. For example, the instrument should not be
placed on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that
may block the ventilation openings; or, placed in a
built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet,
that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.
8. Heat - Locate the instrument away from heat
sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or
other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce
heat.
9. Wall or Cabinet Mounting - Mount the instrument
in a wall or cabinet only as described in the owners
manual.
10. Water and Moisture - Do not use the instrument
near water - for example, near a bathtub,
washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet base-
ment, or near a swimming pool, etc.
11. Cleaning - Clean the instrument by dusting with a
dry cloth. Clean the panel with a cloth moistened
with a window cleaner.
12. Object and Liquid Entry - Do not permit objects to
fall and liquids to spill into the instrument through
enclosure openings.
13. Power Lines - Locate any outdoor antenna away
from power lines.
14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outdoor antenna is connected to the antenna terminal, be sure
the antenna system is grounded so as to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built up
static charges.
In the U.S.A., section 810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information on the proper ground for the mast and supporting structure, ground for the lead-in wire to an
antenna discharge unit, and size of ground conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection
to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode.
For ground wire,
a) Use No. 10 AWG (5.3 mm2) copper No. 8 AWG
(8.4 mm2) aluminum, No. 17 AWG (1.0 mm2)
copper-clad steel, bronze wire, or larger as ground
wire.
b) Secure antenna lead-in and. ground wires to
house with stand-off insulators spaced from 4 feet
(1.22 meters) to 6 feet (1.83 meters) apart.
c) Mount antenna discharge unit as closely as possible to where lead-in enters house.
d) Use jumper wire not smaller than No. 6 AWG
(13.3 mm2) copper or equivalent when separate
antenna-grounding electrode is used.
15. Nonuse Periods - Unplug the power cord from the
AC power outlet when left unused for a long period
of time.
16. Damage Requiring Service - Service must be per-
formed by qualified service personnel when:
A. The power-supply cord or the plug has been
damaged; or
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the instrument; or
C. The instrument has been exposed to rain; or
D. The instrument does not appear to operate nor-
mally or exhibits a marked change in performance;
or
E. The instrument has been dropped, or the
enclosure damaged.
17. Servicing - Do not attempt to service beyond that
described in the operating instructions. All other
service should be referred to qualified service per-
sonnel.
18. Grounding or Polarization - Do not defeat the inherent design features of the polarized plug. Nonpolarized line cord adapters will defeat the safety
provided by the polarized AC plug.
19. CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK DO
NOT USE THIS (POLARIZED) PLUG WITH AN EXTENSION CORD, RECEPTACLE OR OTHER
OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADES CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.

PLAYER LOCATION
The MCD 7005 may be installed in a Mclntosh
cabinet or custom installed in furniture of your choice.
Always provide adequate ventilation. Never place it
above heat generating components such as high
powered amplifiers. Provide 1½ inches (3 cm) of space
above the player so as not to interfere with a cooling air
flow. Always use the compact disc player horizontally,
out of direct sunlight and away from other heat sources.
REMOVE THE TRANSIT SCREWS
On the bottom of the player are two screws which
lock the player mechanism to protect it during transportation. Remove these screws and keep them in a safe
place. To prevent damage, these screws must be replaced if the player is to be transported.
CUSTOM INSTALLATION
The PANLOC system of installing equipment conve-
niently and securely, is a product of Mclntosh research.
Turned clockwise, the PANLOC buttons on the front
panel lock firmly in place. A counterclockwise turn of
the PANLOC buttons unlocks the chassis from its mounting.
To install the instrument in a Mclntosh cabinet, follow
the instructions that are enclosed with the cabinet. For
any other type of installation follow these instructions:
1. Unpack from Carton
Open the carton and remove the PANLOC brackets,
hardware package, and mounting template. Remove the
instrument from its plastic bag and place it upside down
on the shipping pallet. Unscrew the four plastic feet
from the bottom of the chassis and unscrew and
remove the transit screws. Unless the transit screws are
in place when the instrument is transported, damage
can occur. Keep the transit screws in a safe place.
tions, or any equipment. With the template in place,
first mark the six A and B holes and the four small holes
that locate the corners of the cutout. Then, join the four
corner markings with pencil lines, using the edge of the
template as a straightedge.
3. Drill Holes
Use a drill with a 3/16 inch (5 mm) bit held perpendicular to the panel and drill the six A and 8 holes.
Then, using a drill bit slightly larger than the tip of your
saw blade, drill one hole at each of two diagonally opposite corners. The holes should barely touch the inside
edge of the penciled outline. Before taking the next
step, make sure that the six A and B holes have been
drilled.
4. Saw the Panel Cutout
Saw carefully on the inside of the penciled lines. First
make the two long cuts and then the two short cuts.
After the rectangular opening has been cut out, use a
file to square the corners and smooth any irregularities
in the cut edges.
2. Mark the Cabinet Panel.
Tape the mounting template in position on the cabinet
panel where the instrument is to be installed. The
broken lines that represent the outline of the rectangular cutout also represent the outside dimensions of
the chassis. Make sure these lines clear shelves, parti-
INSTALLATION
5. Install the Mounting Strips
In the hardware package you will find two mounting
strips, and two sets of machine screws. For panels that
are less than 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) thick, use the 3/4 inch
(19.1 mm) screws; for panels that are more than 1/2
inch (12.7 mm) thick, use the 1-1/4 inch (31.8 mm)
screws.
Starting at the right-hand side of the panel, insert a
screw of the proper length into the center hole in the
panel, marked B on the template. On the back of the
panel, align a mounting strip with the holes in the panel
and tighten the screw until the screwhead is pulled into
the wood.
Repeat this procedure to attach the mounting strip to
the left side of the panel.
6. Attach the PANLOC Brackets
Using two screws of the proper length in the A holes on
each side, attach the PANLOC brackets to the cabinet
panel; the short flange is mounted against the front
(face) of the cabinet panel. The screws pass through the
PANLOC bracket flange, the cabinet panel, and then
through the mounting strips previously mounted.
7. Install the Instrument
Guide the AC power cord through the panel opening to
the back of the cabinet; then, slide the instrument into
the opening carefully so that the rails on the bottom of
each side of the chassis engage the tracks on the mounting brackets. Continue to slide the instrument into the
cabinet until the front panel is flush with the cabinet
panel. Turn the PANLOC buttons at the lower left and
right corners of the instrument panel clockwise to lock
the unit firmly in the cabinet. Turn the PANLOC buttons
counterclockwise to unlock the instrument. It can then
slide outward to permit the removal of the instrument
from the cabinet.
