Where to put it
The MCD85 can be placed upright on a table or shelf, standing on its four feet. It also can be custom installed in a piece of furniture or cabinet.
Always provide adequate ventilation for your MCD85. Cool operation ensures the longest possible operating life for any electronic instrument. Do not install the MCD85 directly above a heat generating
component such as a high-powered amplifier. If all the components are installed in a single cabinet, a quiet running ventilation fan can be a definite asset in maintaining all the system components at the coolest possible operating temperature.
A custom cabinet installation should provide the following minimum spacing dimensions for cool operation (Figure 02):
• 6 inches (15.3cm) above the top
- 5/8 inches (1.6cm) below the bottom
- 2 inches (5.1cm) on each side of the MCD85 so that airflow is not obstructed
• 18 inches (45.7cm) depth behind the front panel - 1-7/16 inch (3.7cm) in front of the mounting panel for knob clearance

- N/C (no connection) 6. N/C
- Data In (RXD) 7. N/C
- Data Out (TXD) 8. N/C
- N/C 9. N/C
- Gnd
Typical RS232 settings are:
• 8 data bits, no parity and one stop bit
- Baud rate fixed at 115,200 bits per second
The baud rate can be changed in the Setup. See "Baud Rate Setup" on page 11.
Wired IR Input
The IR Input allows an external IR receiver to be attached to the MCD85. The Input is labeled IR IN. By attaching an IR receiver using a 3.5mm cable (see Figure 08), the MCD85's Remote Control can be used in another location without a line-of-sight to the MCD85's front IR sensor.

Figure 08 IR 3.5mm connector
If using an external IR receiver for the MAIN ZONE in the same room as the MCD85, you may wish to disable the front IR sensor. This will avoid potential timing issues of receiving the Remote Control's commands from two different Inputs. The front IR can be turned on/off by doing the following:
- Press and Hold the Left Knob for two seconds
- Turn the Left Knob to the menu choice "SETUP: Front IR"
- Turn the Right Knob clockwise for Enabled (on) or counterclockwise (off)
- Press and release the Left Knob to exit the Setup menu
AC Power
This connection is essential. Plug the female end of the supplied AC Power Cord into the AC connector (standard 15 ampere IEC) located in the rear right corner of the MCD85. Plug the male end of the AC Power Cord into a grounded and functioning AC outlet.
Power Control (Trigger) Output
The MCD85 has two Power Control jacks or Triggers. One is an input (IN) and the other is an output (OUT).
Power Control enables power on/off signals to go to connected components so that other components can automatically powered on (or off).
The controlling unit should be connected to the IN jack. The MCD85 and units connected to the OUT jack will follow the power status of the controlling unit.
Connect components to the Triggers using a 3.5mm stereo mini plug. See Figure 09. The Triggers work by sending on/off signals in the form of +12 volt/0 volt to connected McIntosh components.

Figure 09 Power control (trigger) mini plug
