Choose the installation location of your unit carefully. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or
close to a source of heat. Also avoid locations subject to vibrations and excessive dust, heat,
cold or moisture. Keep away from such sources that hum, such as transformers or motors.
Do not open the cabinet as this might result in damage to the circuitry or electrical shock.
If a foreign object should get into the MCD7009, contact your authorized Mclntosh dealer.
Be sure not to handle discs with dirty fingers. Never insert a disc which has a crack on
the surface.
When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull directly on the plug, never
yank the cord.
To keep the laser-pickup clean, do not touch it, and do not forget to close the disc tray.
Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents as this might damage the finish.
Use a clean, dry cloth.
Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
BEWARE OF CONDENSATION
When the player (or a compact disc) is moved from a cold to a warm place or used after
a sudden temperature change, there is the danger of condensation. Water vapor in the air
could condense on the mechanism or the laser pickup. If droplets of water form on these
parts, correct playback will be impossible because the laser cannot read the information from
the disc correctly. To prevent this, if you are going to use the player in a condition where
condensation could occur, you should leave the player for 1 or 2 hours after plugging it into
an AC outlet depending on the amount of condensation. If this is done, the player will stabilize
at the temperature of its surroundings.

TRANSPORT FIXING (LOCKING) SCREW
A transport FIXING or locking screw is provided to protect the MCD7009 Laser pickup
mechanism from shocks and movement during transit or shipping. Access the fixing screw from
the bottom panel of the player.
RELEASE THE FIXING SCREW BEFORE OPERATING
1. Carefully place the player, upside down, on a firm surface with the bottom panel facing up.
2. Insert a 3/16 inch flat blade screwdriver into the fixing screw slot and turn the screw to the
FREE position, (approximately 45° rotation from LOCK).
TO TRANSPORT OR SHIP THE PLAYER
1 . Open the disc drawer to make sure no disc is loaded.
2. Carefully place the player, upside down, on a firm surface with the bottom panel facing up.
3. Insert a 3/16 inch flat blade screwdriver into the fixing screw slot and turn the screw to the

HOW TO
INSTALL
BATTERIES
IN THE
REMOTE
CONTROLLER
HOW TO
INSTALL THE
MCD7009
Slide open the battery compartment. Insert two type AAA batteries into the compartment,
making sure to observe the battery polarities indicated in the battery compartment.
When the batteries are nearing exhaustion, the effective range of the remote controller
decreases, and MAY even fail to operate. In this case, replace both batteries with fresh ones.
NOTE:
1. Do not mix old and new batteries. Use ONLY batteries that are new.
2. Make sure both batteries are of the same type and identical.
3. To prevent damage caused by possible battery leakage, remove the batteries from
the remote controller if it is not going to be used for an extended period of time.
4. Never dismantle batteries of dispose of them in a fire, as they may explode. Dispose
of old batteries in an approved method for proper safety.
The MCD7009 can be placed upright on a table or shelf, standing on its own plastic feet.
It can also be installed in an optional Mclntosh L72 cabinet.
The MCD7009 can also be custom installed in a piece of furniture or cabinet of your choice.
The required panel cutout and unit dimensions are shown on a page further back in this manual.
Always provide adequate ventilation for your MCD7009, even though it developes very little
heat. Cool operation insures the longest possible operating life for any electronic instrument.
Do not install your MCD7009 directly above a heat generating component such as a high
powered amplifier. In a system stack, the power amplifier should always be at the top. 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 temperatures.
A custom cabinet installation should allow the following recommended minimum spacing dimensions for cool operation. Allow at least 1-1/2 inches (3.8cm) above the unit so airflow is not
obstructed. Allow 17 inches (43.2cm) depth behind the mounting panel, which includes clearance
for connectors. Allow 1-1/8 inches (2.9cm) in front of the mounting panel for knob clearance.

2. OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT
1. Set the DIGITAL OUT switch (1) to the ON position.
2. Remove the protective cap from the MCD7009 OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT connector.
3. Connect an Optical cable from the MCD7009 OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT to the Optical in-
put of an external DA Converter.
4. Connect the analog outputs of the DA Converter to the CD inputs of the Control Center
or preamplifier.
3. COAXIAL DIGITAL OUT
1. Set the DIGITAL OUT switch (1) to the ON position.
2. Connect a coaxial cable (RG6 or RG59U) from the MCD7009 COAXIAL DIGITAL OUT
to the coaxial input of the external DA Converter.
3. Connect the analog outputs of the DAC to the CD inputs of the Control Center or
preamplifier.
4. CONTROL
(This connector is used with a Mclntosh Control Center or Remote Control System that does
not have a CD DATA PORT.)
Connect a 7 pin DIN cable from the MCD7009 DIN CONTROL socket to a matching DIN
CD CONTROL socket on a Mclntosh Control Center or Remote Control System. The Control
Center Remote Controller will then operate PLAY, STOP, BACK Track
on the MCD7009, by sending control signals to the player through the Control Center sensor
in either the main or a remote area.
5. DATA IN
Connect a DATA cable from the MCD7009 DATA IN (5) jack to a CD DATA Port on a Mclntosh Control Center or Remote Control System. This allows the Mclntosh Control Center Remote
Controller to operate a wide range of functions on the MCD7009 player, from either the main
or remote area
Refer to the drawings of the various Mclntosh hand held Remote Controllers in the manual
section HOW TO USE THE MCD7009 WITH OTHER MclNTOSH REMOTE CONTROL PRO-
DUCTS. These drawings show which pushbuttons on each specific Controller are active for
controlling the MGD7009. The drawings also indicate several pushbuttons that perform player
functions that are different from the markings on the Remote Controllers.
A Keypad can also be used to control the MCD7009 in a remote area. Refer to the keypad
drawing which indicates which pushbuttons are active with the MCD7009.
The MCD7009 Remote Controller can also be used in a remote area of any Mclntosh remote
control system to operate the player by sending control signals to a wall mounted IR sensor.
All the MCD7009 Remote Controller pushbuttons are active in this configuration.
A Data cable uses single conductor shielded wire with 1/8" mini phone plugs. Connections
are to the sleeve (-) and tip (+) of the plug.
(Do not connect a DIN CONTROL cable to the MCD7009 when the DATA In is being used.)
6. AC POWER
Connect the MCD7009 AC Power Cord to a 120 volt, 50Hz/60Hz outlet.
7. LINE OUT, L AND R
Connect shielded cables from the L (Left) and R (Right) LINE OUT jacks to the CD inputs of
a Control Center or Preamplifier. Similar high level audio inputs such as Auxiliary or Tape can be
used, but you will then not be able to control the player with the Control Center Remote Controller.

8. LEFT and RIGHT BALANCED OUTPUTS
Connect cable with XLR type Balanced Connectors from the MCD7009 LEFT and RIGHT BAL-
ANCED OUTPUT jacks to the balanced CD or AUX input jacks of a Preamplifier or Control Center.
Using balanced connectors and cables can reduce noise and interference by as much as
40dB. This extra noise reduction can be a significant improvement, especially if the cables are
quite long. If cable lengths between the MCD7009 and the preamplifier inputs are short, (one
meter or less), you will probably find high quality unbalanced cables to be equally satisfactory.
You can use both the Balanced and Unbalanced Outputs simultaneously if you desire.
Balanced Jack Pin Configuration:
Pin 1 System Ground
Pin 2 + Output
Pin 3 - Output
HOW TO CONNECT FOR NORMAL AUDIO PLAYBACK
Connect cables with RCA connectors from the LINE OUT L (Left) and R (Right) outputs to the
