IR REMOTE CONTROL FOR TWO AREAS
Two internal microprocessors, programmed by
McIntosh, receive and decode signals from separate IR
sensors. One sensor is located on the front panel for
area A, the other connected to the area B external
sensor input. These microprocessors control the volume
and input selection logic of the LISTEN (A) and RECORD
(B) circuits. The customer has the option of using
RECORD circuits for tape recording or a second area
by adding an external sensor and another power amp.
