[. . . ] IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE TO PROTECT YOU AND THE MclNTOSH INSTRUMENT. BE SURE TO FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THEM. 1. Read all instructions - Read the safety and operating instructions before operating the instrument. Retain Instructions - Retain the safety and operating instructions for future reference. [. . . ] In addition to the touch-buttons on the CR7, these functions and more, can be initiated by the hand-held remote controller. POWER touch the MUTE button on either the CR7 or the remote control. A red LED above the MUTE button will light, and the program will be silenced. To hear the program again, touch the MUTE button a second time. The red LED will go out and the program will be heard. VOLUME The red POWER touch-button on the CR7 and the POWER button on the remote control turn the AC power on or off to the local area. When AC power is turned on, the system switches automatically to the tuner, with volume set to 40 dB below full volume. The station heard will be the last one tuned when the system was turned off. A green LED above the TUNER touch-button will light. AC power to the local area is turned off when the POWER button on either the hand-held controller or the CR7 is pressed. To turn off AC power in all areas first turn off the AC power locally by pressing POWER followed by pressing both VOLUME and VOLUME simultaneously. SOURCE SELECTION Volume may be adjusted by using the VOLUME or VOLUME buttons on the front panel or on the remote control. Adjustment of the volume is performed by an electronically switched, precision ladder attenuaior. The Mclntosh electronic precision ladder attenuator adjusts volume by C2 MOS transistor switches that select the right combinations of highly accurate deposits of resistive material. The entire range of volume adjustment is 68 dB in 2 dB increments. Left and right tracking is controlled to a fraction of a dB. Because the volume control doesn't have moving parts, the volume adjustment cannot be misaligned. PLAY Press button 1 to listen to the CD on the player, NEXT Press button 2 to move the laser pen to the next track on the disc. If you press 2 (NEXT) while playing the last track on the disc the laser pen does not move and the last track continues to play. BACK Press button 3 to move the laser pen to the proceeding track on the disc. If you press 3 (BACK) while playing the first track the laser pen does not move and the first track continues to play. STOP Press button 4 (STOP) to stop play before the end of the disc. Selects the system preamplifier as the source of sound. All of the controls and sources available on the preamplifier are available for use. MUTE Press button MUTE to silence the local area sound. VOLUME Press buttons VOLUME or VOLUME to adjust the loudness in your area only. AC power to all areas can be turned off, if, after pressing POWER, both VOLUME buttons are pressed simultaneously. BATTERIES The remote control runs on two AA, 1. 5 volt batteries. [. . . ] Since most AC power circuits are rated for 15 ampers (1800 watts) it is necessary to plug the CR8 AC power cord into an outlet on a circuit separate from the one feeding power to the CR7. The plug blades are polarized so be certain the plug is fully inserted in the outlet to prevent blade exposure. CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DO NOT USE THE (POLARIZED) PLUG ON THIS UNIT WITH AN EXTENSION CORD, RECEPTACLE, OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADES CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE. Two types of AC power outlets are provided on the back panel, one black and one red. [. . . ]
