The Right and Left Front Channels from a McIntosh Pro-
cessor or Decoder can “Pass Thru” the C2200 and on to its
associated Power Amplifier(s). The Setup Mode allows the
Selection of the Input that will be used for the Right and
Left Front Channels Pass Thru Mode. In the example be-
low, the Right and Left Front Channels from the Multichan-
nel Processor/Decoder will be connected to the AUX Input
on the C2200.
Note: The C2200 has the ability to switch Off the Meter
Illumination when it is in the Pass Thru Mode. This is
accomplished by switching Off the Meter Illumination
before entering the Setup Mode.

Remote Control Selection
There are two choices for the Remote Control Codes the
C2200 will respond to. The Remote Control included with
the C2200 utilizes the NORMal McIntosh Control Codes.
The Second Set of Control Codes the C2200 will respond to
is referred to as the ALTernate Codes. The ALTernate Codes
are for when the C2200 is used together with a McIntosh
Multichannel Processor/Decoder in the Pass Thru Mode

will not respond using the supplied McIntosh Remote
