General Information

1. For additional connection information, refer to the owner's manual(s) for any component(s) connected to the RS100 Wireless Loudspeaker System.

2. For the RS100 to receive streaming audio signals from a mobile device, a wireless router with Wi-Fi capabilities is required, in order to facilitate communications between the RS100 and the mobile device.

3. When connecting the RS100 to a wired Home Computer Network (of which includes a wireless router) a USB (2.0) to Ethernet (RJ45) Adapter such as a Monoprice (109466) is required.

4. The RS100 is designed to be

compatible with the majority of Powered Subwoofers. However, do to a wide range of Powered Subwoofer Designs, it is important the input sensitivity of the Subwoofer be at least 0.2 Volts. This will assure music recordings are reproduced with adequate dynamic range. Check with your McIntosh Dealer for additional information.

Dimensions

The following dimensions can assist in determining the best location for your RS100. There is additional information below pertaining to installing the RS100 into cabinets.

Installation

The RS100 is designed to be placed upright on a table or shelf. For proper Low Frequency performance do not block the Acoustic Opening located on the RS100 Rear Panel. Do not install the RS100 directly above a heat generating device. Allow at

least 2 inches (5.1cm) above the top, 1 inch (2.5cm) on both sides and at least 3 inches (7.6cm) behind the Rear Panel so that airflow is not obstructed and proper Low Frequency performance is achieved.

Connecting to External Components

The RS100 connection instructions below, together with the Connection Diagram below (single channel) is an example of connecting optional external components. Your external components may vary from this, however the actual components would be connected in a similar manner.

Analog Audio Connections:

1. Connect a cable(s) from the RS100 AUX INput to the external SACD/CD Transport unbalanced audio output jack.

Note: For Stereo Operation between the RS100s (Left and Right Channels) and the SACD/CD Transport two jacks are

1. Connect a cable(s) from the RS100 SUBwoofer OUT to the external Powered Subwoofer input jacks (Left and Right Channels).

Note: If the Powered Subwoofer has only one input jack, use a "Y" Adapter to connect the outputs from both RS160's to the single input jack.

1. Connect the supplied AC Power Cord between the AC Socket on the Rear Panel of the RS100 to a live AC outlet (that is always On).

How to Operate the RS100

Your McIntosh RS100 is factory configured for immediate enjoyment of superb audio from a Mobile Device via Play-Fi or an external Audio Component Source connected to the AUX Input.

If you wish to make a Play-Fi Wireless Connection between the Mobile Device and the RS100, please refer to "RS100 Quick Start" starting on page 2 (step 4) for additional information.

Power On/Off

Momentarily press the STANDBY/ON - INPUT Control on the RS100 Front Panel to switch it On. To switch Off the RS100 Press and release the STANDBY/ON - INPUT Control on the Front Panel.

Power Mode

The RS100 incorporates an Auto Off Feature, which automatically places it into one of three Power Saving Modes. This occurs approximately 30 minutes after there has been an absence of audible audio signals on the selected input. To change between the three different modes perform the following:

Press and hold in simultaneously the STANDBY/ON - INPUT Control and the VOLUME Control until the LED located below STANDBY/ON - INPUT Control flashes twice. Note: The color of the LED when it flashes indicates which of the three Power Saving Mode the RS109 is now set to.

Power Mode Standby/On Momentary Indication
Red Power	er Save Mode Off
Green Power	er Save Mode On(Network connection dropped)
Yellow Power	er Save Mode On(Network connection maintained)

Source Selection

Select Play-Fi Input by pressing the Play-Fi Screen Icon located on the Mobile Device used to establish Network Connection with the RS100. Refer to "RS100 Quick Start" starting on page 2 (step 4) for additional information.

Select the AUX Input Source by rotating the STANDBY/ON - INPUT Control. The I.FD below the Control will change from green to blue in color to indicate the AUX Input Source has been selected.

Note: The Mobile Device will pause the current track

playing when switching to AUX Input Source on the RS100.

Volume Level

To increase the Volume Level, rotate the Front Panel VOLUME Control clockwise. To lower the Volume Level, rotate the Front Panel VOLUME Control counterclockwise. When the maximum or minimum volume level is reached the word "VOLUME" will flash rapidly.

Notes: 1. When the RS100 is in Play-Fi Mode, and the Front Panel Volume Control Setting is changed, the Mobile Device Volume Adjustment Indicator will also indicate the change.

1. When using a pair of RS100s in the Stereo Mode of Operation, the Front Panel VOLUME Controls on the RS100 may be used to alter the channel balance between the Left and Right Channels. When the RS100s are switched Off and back On, the previous Channel Balance adjustment made is returned to the normal setting.

Mutc

To mute the volume level, momentarily press in on the Front Panel VOLUME Control. During the time the sound is muted the Front Panel word "VOLUME" will flash slowly. To un-mute and return to the previous volume level, momentarily press in on the Front Panel VOLUME Control. When the Play-Fi Input is selected on the RS100, the Mobile Device can also Mute and Un-Mute the sound.

Note: When the RS100 is in Play-Fi Mode and the Mate Function is engaged using the Front Panel VOLUME Control, the Mobile Device Mate indication will also indicate the change.

Meter Illumination

If desired, the illumination of the OUTPUT LEVEL Meter may be switched Off by performing the following steps:

1. Momentarily press the STANDBY/ON - INPUT Control and VOLUME Control at the same time and the Meter Illumination will switch Off.

2. To switch On the Meter Illumination repeat step 1.

Play-F1

For Mobile Device specific information (Apple or Android) go to the Play-Fi web site at https://play-fi.com/

Notes: 1. If you have questions about the Play-Fi App and its Operation refer to the Play-Fi "Knowledge Base" for additional information.

1. Some of the Internet Music Streaming Services (available via the Play-Fi App) offer the listener the ability to alter the sound quality of music being streamed. Refer to each of the Music Streaming Service's Internet Web Site for additional information on how to make changes to their default settings, if available.

Critical Listening Mode

The Play-Fi App supports the native sound resolution formats of the music played. When the sound format is high resolution, the sound is normally down-sampled to insure proper Wi-Fi Streaming Capability with the most common wireless network hardware. In the Play-Fi App there is a Critical Listening Mode which keeps the original sound resolution up to 96kHz/24Bit. This requires the RS100 and Mobile Device be connected by high performance network equipment. To activate the Critical Listening Mode perform the following steps using the Play-Fi App:

1. Select the "Hi RES Audio" Icon. Refer to figure 1.

1. Referring to figure 2 on the next page, select the RS100 (in this example it is the "Living Room").

Reset of Microprocessors

In the unlikely event the controls of the RS100 stop functioning, the internal microprocessors can be reset by performing the following:

1. Disconnect the AC Power Cord from the Rear Panel of the RS100, wait two minutes and then reconnect AC Power Cord to the Rear Panel of the RS100.
2. Momentarily press the STANDBY/ON - INPUT Control switching back On the RS100 and then resume listening.

Resetting to Factory Default Settings

If it becomes desirable to reset all of the RS100 settings to the factory default values, perform the following steps:

Warning: After the RS100 is returned to Factory Default Settings, it will become necessary to re-establish communications between the RS100 and the Mobile Device via the Network Communications. Refer to "RS100 Quick Start" starting on page 2 (step 4) for additional information.

1. With the RS100 On, press and hold in simultaneously the STANDBY-ON - INPUT Control and VOLUME Control. Approximately 14 seconds later the meter illumination will flash once followed by an audible beep sound. Then release both controls.
2. Disconnect the AC Power Cord from the Rear Panel of the RS100, wait one minute and then reconnect the AC Power Cord to the Rear Panel of the RS100.
