WARNING: TO REDUCE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS INSTRUMENT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. [. . . ] OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES: ADDITIONAL AC POWER AND SPEAKER SWITCHING WITH THE SPEAKER CONTROL RELAY The SPEAKER CONTROL RELAY, or SCR 2, is designed to provide both speaker control switching and high power switched AC outlets. The SCR 2 also has two AC power outlets that provide additional capacity of 2400 watts switched by the C 34V. Use these outlets to supply AC power to amplifiers or other components when the total load switched exceeds the C 34V rating of 1440 watts. Plug the 4-prong plug on the cable attached to the SCR 2 into the SCR 2 socket on the rear of the C 34V. When the C 34V is turned on, power from the C 34V will energize a relay in the SCR 2 which connects the two SCR 2 AC outlets directly to the wall outlet. Two loudspeakers can be turned on or off with the SCR 2 by using the front panel pushbuttons SPEAKER/OUTPUT 1 and 2. Use the TO MAIN SPEAKERS terminal strip to connect the main listening pair of speakers and TO REMOTE SPEAKER terminal to a remote area pair of speakers. Connect the power amplifier output to FROM POWER AMPLIFIER terminal strip. Pushbutton SPEAKER 1 will turn the main speakers on or off and SPEAKER 2 pushbutton will turn the remote speakers on or off. VIDEO SELECTOR: The Mclntosh VIDEO SELECTOR, MVS-1, is designed to enable the C 34V to control video programs as well as audio. The MVS-1 connects to the VIDEO SELECTOR computer-type connector on the rear of the C 34V. Follow the instruction packet with the MVS-1 for connecting the video cables, 10 HOW TO CONNECT Fold out the photographs on the inside of the back cover. The letters on the photographs refer to the paragraphs that follow. Before attempting to operate your C 34V Audio/Video Control Center, familiarize yourself with the controls and what they do. LISTEN AND RECORD SELECTOR SWITCHES The LISTEN Input selector switch is located at the upper left on the front panel. The RECORD input selector switch is located at the lower left on the front panel. The selected program source is fed to the TAPE 1, TAPE 2, and TAPE 3 outputs. The RECORD and LISTEN switches operate totally independently of each other and without any interference. MODE SELECTOR The MODE SELECTOR allows you to identify each stereo channel, create monophonic program material, and direct program material to one channel or the other. It controls the program in seven ways: L TO L&R: Connects the left input to both left and right output circuits. R TO L&R: Connects the right input to both left and right output circuits. STEREO REV: Connects the left input to the right output circuit and the right input to the left output circuit. STEREO: Connects the left input to the left output circuit and the right input to the right output circuit. [. . . ] These jacks, like the LISTEN EXTERNAL PROCESSOR jacks, have switching contacts so that the signal passes through when plugs are not inserted in the jacks. When an external processor is used, the record program leaves the C 34V through the EXTERNAL PROCESSOR TO jack and returns via the FROM jack. When a processor is not connected, the signal passes directly through the jacks. A pushbutton switch allows the 5 band equalizer controls to be switched from the Listen program line to the Record program line. [. . . ]
