Power Control /Trigger Connectors

The D1100 POWER CONTROL / TRIGger Output

Jacks send Power On/Off Signals

(+12 volt/0 volt) when connected

to other McIntosh Components.

An additional connection is for

controlling the illumination of the

Power Output Meters on McIntosh

Power Amplifiers. A 3.5mm stereo mini phone plug

is used for connection to the Power Control / Trigger

Outputs on the D1100.

Data Port Connectors

The D1100 Data Out Ports send

Remote Control Signals to

Source Components. A 3.5mm

stereo mini phone plug is used for connection.

IR IN Port Connectors

The IR IN Port also uses a 3.5mm

stereo mini phone plug and allows

the connection of other brand IR

Receivers to the D1100.

RS232 Data Port Cable

The RS232 Data Cable is a 3.5mm stereo mini phone

plug to a subminiature DB 9 connector:

1. For additional connection information, refer to the

owner’s manual(s) for any component(s) connected

to the D1100 Digital Preamplifier.

2. The Main AC Power going to the D1100 and any

other McIntosh Component(s) should not be ap-

plied until all the system components are connect-

ed together. Failure to do so could result in mal-

functioning of some or all of the system’s normal

operations. When the D1100 and other McIntosh

Components are in their Standby Power Off Mode,

the Microprocessor’s Circuitry inside each com-

ponent is active and communication is occurring

between them.

3. The Output 1 and 2 Connections (Balanced and

Unbalanced) can be used simultaneously, connect-

ed to different Power Amplifiers.

4. The D1100 internal Digital Circuitry is designed to

decode 2-channel PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)

and DSD (Direct Stream Digital) Digital Signals.

The Coaxial, Optical and AES/EBU Digital Audio

Inputs are for PCM Digital Signals. The Digital

MCT and USB Audio Inputs are for PCM and

DSD Digital Signals. Other Digital Audio Signal

Format Types will cause the Audio Outputs of the

D1100 to be muted and the Front Panel Information

Display will indicate an error message.

5. Sound Intensity is measured in units called Deci-

bels and “dB” is the abbreviation.

6. The McIntosh D1100 is factory configured for im-

mediate use. It can also be customized to comple-

ment the components making up your system.

Refer to the D1100 “Setup Mode” starting on page

13 for additional information.

7. The Remote Control Supplied with the D1100

Preamplifier is capable of operating other com-

ponents. For additional information go to www.

mcintoshlabs.com.

8. The IR Input, with a 3.5mm mini phone jack, is

configured for non-McIntosh IR sensors such as

a Xantech Model HL85BK Kit. Use a Connection

Block such as a Xantech Model ZC21 when two

or more IR sensors need to be connected to the

D1100. The signal from a connected External IR

Sensor will have priority over the signal from the

Front Panel IR Sensor.

9. When the D1100 is connected to an Analog only

Preamplifier via the supplied compatible External

Digital Control Cable, Remote Control Operation

via RS232 Connection should be made only to the

Analog only Preamplifier, not the D1100.

10. When discarding the unit, comply with local rules

or regulations. Batteries should never be

thrown away or incinerated but disposed

of in accordance with the local regula-

tions concerning battery disposal.

11. For additional information on the D1100

and other McIntosh Products please visit the Mc-

Intosh Web Site at www.mcintoshlabs.com.
