User manual MCINTOSH MCD205 BROCHURE

[. . . ] A precision mechanism originally manufactured for use as a computer CD-ROM, the MCD205 changer features an internal stocker that holds up to five CDs. The direct loading design makes inserting and ejecting discs extremely easy. It does not require cumbersome magazines, nor does it have a disc tray. It's as easy to operate as the player in your car, yet retains the ease and capacity of a changer. [. . . ] Competitors tried for 20 years before they could match the performance of our very first amplifier. McIntosh, meanwhile, continued to redefine what it means to be the best-- a difficult but rewarding journey that has inspired many talented people to dedicate their entire careers to that mission. SCIENCE, STYLE AND CRAFT The innovative application of cutting-edge technologies are the driving force that keeps our engineers working late into the night. Coupled with our signature style and manufacturing standards that ensure components perform for decades, their audio and home theater breakthroughs result in true investment pieces. Discriminating collectors are eager to pay many times the original price for some of our American Classics. They know that a well-loved McIntosh only gets better. Indeed, you won't find "planned obsolescence" here--most of the units we produced in the 1950's can still integrate into systems today. And, as ever, we spare no expense to work with the best materials, whether that means crafting parts locally or bringing them from halfway around the world. SERVICE AND SUPPORT Each day, our customer support staff competently answers questions for owners whose components are still running strong up to thirty years or more. Our reputation rests on our customers' complete satisfaction -- that's why we're not only interested in what you have to say about our past, present and future products, but we've also carefully trained many Authorized Service Agencies, backing them up with our own in-house service department. Our clientele has come to expect nothing less. BUY WITH CONFIDENCE FROM AN AUTHORIZED MCINTOSH DEALER Not every retailer can carry McIntosh-- we screen the firms that represent us closely to ensure that our customers can trust their expertise. We even conduct our unique McMasters program, a two-day seminar that prepares the participants to assist you.
