“ a complete home theater solution

in a

single component

with McIntosh quality”

The MHT200 combines the flexibility of a premium home theater
processor and the power of eight individual amplifiers all in a single
component. With switching provided for Component Video, S-Video
and Composite Video and eight analog and six digital audio inputs,
you won’t outgrow the MHT200 anytime soon!

Processing formats include DTS; DTS ES; DTS Neo: 6; Dolby Digital;
Dolby Digital EX and Dolby ProLogic II. Each of the eight-monoblock
amplifiers provides 140 watts of power to easily meet the demands of
dynamic home theater sound while also providing built-in amplifiers for
a second zone of audio. Imagine…six channels effortlessly powering
your home theater while the other two channels let you listen to
a different source (like a CD) in another room!

The MHT200 also provides an expansion slot for an optional high­performance AM/FM stereo tuner. Have your dealer install the optional
tuner module and enjoy the AM/FM quality McIntosh is famous for.
