Saturday Riddle - Make a Connection!
Hi all,
I am back with another mini-challenge and my project for this weekend: connecting all the trigger cables in my system. Components: C2600 MC452 (soon to be 2x MC601) Emotiva Amp (for surrounds) MX122 MB50 Use Cases: 1. 2-channel listening I need the C2600 + MC452 + MB50 turned on (no MX122, Emotiva) 2. Watching movies I need the MX122 + MC452 + Emotiva turned on (no MB50) I have all the trigger cables I need, just having trouble finding the right way to connect them. Can someone please help me solve this puzzle? Also, when I put in the two 601's instead of the 452, I assume I just connect them together? Thank you! |

Which Emotiva amp are you using? A universal remote might be the best answer here.

I am sure there is a way to connect everything using trigger cables, just need to nail down the sequence. |

Have a look at the MX122 manual - it should have an excellent diagram of this. Should also be in the C2600 manual. They say a picture is worth 1,000 words.

Going to look now. Thank you. I did not remember they had a trigger diagram.

Here's how I would do it.
C2600 power trigger out to MC 452. MX 122 power trigger out to XPA-3 MX 122 passthru out to C2600 passthru in. MB50 power trigger in to C2600 trigger out for the input the MB50 is connected to. Power up the C2600 and the MC 452 will power up. Select the MD50 input and the MB 50 will power up. 2 channel here we come! Power up the MX 122 and the xpa-3 will power up. The C2600 will also power up in passthru mode. It will in turn turn on the 452. Movie time! I have my system set up this way. While it uses a C1100 and MX150, it works perfectly and the C2600 / MX 122 operate in a similar fashion. The only thing I'm unsure of is how the C2600 handles power triggers for the source equipment. I use a harmony remote and have set up activities like "Watch a movie" or "Listen to Vinyl" Works great. Tom

I'll help you pull it together if you have any problems.
I found my C1100 and MX-151 remotes controlled power for both units. So I used the alternate code set for the C1100. This is described somewhere either in the manual or a separate McIntosh document. Then you don't really need a universal remote and both systems are separately controlled from their remotes.
