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.

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.
Page 6
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.
Page 7
The back cover folds out to show photographs of the
front and rear panels of the MCD 7005. Fold it out to
assist you in identifying and locating the controls. The
letters refer to the paragraphs that follow.
The back panel of the MCD 7005 has connectors labeled FIXED OUTPUT, VARIABLE OUTPUT, REMOTE, a
port marked DIGITAL OUTPUT and the AC power
cord. The VARIABLE OUTPUT is adjusted by the front
panel VOLUME touchbuttons while the FIXED
OUTPUT is unaffected by these controls.
Use shielded cables to connect the output signal to a
preamplifier or power amplifier. To minimize the
possibility of hum, the shielded cables should be of
parallel construction or loosely twisted together and
located away from the speaker connecting cables and
AC power cords. Be certain to use good quality shielded cables for all interconnections. Your dealer can advise you on the kind and length of cables that will best
suit your installation.
FIXED OUTPUT
The FIXED OUTPUT jacks are used to feed program
to a stereo preamplifier or other equipment with its
own volume control.
B. VARIABLE OUTPUT
Use the VARIABLE OUTPUT jacks to connect to a
power amplifier or a tape recorder where control of
the volume at the player is desired. There is no difference in the signal quality at either pair of output
jacks. Both pairs of output jacks may be used
simultaneously.
Connect the audio output of the player to the
"CD", "AUX", or other high level input on the
preamplifier. Do not connect to the "PHONO" input. Connect the Right player output to the right
preamplifier input and the Left player output to the
left preamplifier input.
C. REMOTE
The REMOTE control connector is designed for
use with the Mclntosh multi-area infrared remote
control systems. With these systems, you can, from
a hand-held remote control, operate the disc player
and the entire system from various listening areas.
D. DIGITAL OUTPUT
The digital data stream is available from this port for
use in systems that can accept digital data directly.
E. AC POWER
Plug the AC power cord into a 120 volt 50/60 Hz
receptical. The plug blades are polarized so be certain the plug is fully inserted in the outlet to prevent
blade exposure.
CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO
NOT USE THE (POLARIZED) PLUG ON THIS UNIT
WITH AN EXTENSION CORD, RECEPTACLE, OR
OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADES CAN BE
FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.
INSERTING THE BATTERIES IN THE
REMOTE CONTROL
Your Mclntosh Digital Disc Player is complete including infrared Remote Control. In your hand you
have the ability to control normal operating functions of
the disc player.
The remote control runs on two AA, 1.5 Volt batteries. Slide open the cover on the back of the remote
control and insert the batteries as shown in the diagram
in the battery compartment, then slide the cover closed
again.
Battery life is normally about one year. Remove the
batteries as soon as they are dead to prevent damage by
possible battery leakage. The batteries should be remov-
ed, as well, should the remote control not be used for a
length of time.
HOW TO CONNECT
Page 8
The back cover folds out to show photographs of
the front and rear panels of the MCD 7005. Fold it out
to assist you in locating the connectors. The numbers
refer to the paragraphs that follow.
The glass upper half of the MCD 7005 front panel
contains the CD drawer, the IR REMOTE SENSOR, the
REMOTE response LED, the DAMAGED DISC indicator
and the message center. In the message center are
displayed the current status of the mode of operation,
time, the CD functions in use and the horizontally
displayed volume level indicator.
The black anodized lower half of the front panel con-
tains the touch-buttons and controls to program the
player, set into action the various player functions, control the VOLUME, a headphone jack with its own
volume control and PANLOC loading buttons.
Before operating your Compact Disc player,

OPERATION
Page 12
During REV and FF , the laser pick-up moves
at three successive speeds: for the first few seconds
relatively slowly, for the next few seconds faster, and
after approximately 10 seconds, at maximum speed.
During the two lower speeds, the program material can
be heard at reduced volume. At high speed the sound is
muted. If you continue to hold down the FF or
REV the numbers of the time display run on at a
corresponding rate. When nearing the desired passage,
release momentarily to go back to the lowest speed.
If, by holding in REV, the laser pick-up moves to
the run-in of the first track, the ERROR indication lights
and the laser pick-up stops at the beginning of the
track. The disc continues to spin, however, so that play
will resume upon release of the button.
If, by holding in FF , the laser pick-up moves to
the run-out of the last track, the ERROR indication
lights, and the laser pick-up moves back over the disc

DISC MAINTENANCE
For the best results, apply the same care in storing
and handling the Compact Disc as with conventional
records. Even though the music track in the disc is
covered with a protective layer, treat the disc carefully.
Always pick up discs by the edge, and put them back in
their protective cases immediately after use.
Wipe fingerprints, dust or dirt off with a soft, lint-free
cloth. Wipe in a straight line from center to edge. You
can breathe on the disc first if necessary. Cleaning
agents for conventional records, detergent or abrasive
cleaners must never be used.
Never write on the label side of the disc. Writing will
emboss the disc and destroy the digital data. If you
follow these suggestions, the Compact Disc will provide
a lifetime of pure listening enjoyment
PLAYER MAINTENANCE
The player mechanism has self-lubricating bearings,
and must not be oiled or greased. The disc drawer
should be kept free of dust.
