Features and Benefits
THREE SERIAL DATA INPUTS
The MSI-1 Provides three serial data inputs that can
be driven from any DATA PORT on the CR10, C38,
C39, MX120 or the MX130.
PARALLEL DATA OUTPUT FOR MclNTOSH TUNERS
A 15 pin submimature "D" connector is provided for
remote control of the Mclntosh MR510, MR7082 and
MR7083 tuners.
PARALLEL DATA OUTPUT FOR MclNTOSH
CD PLAYERS
A seven pin DIN connector is provided for remote
control of the MCD7000, MCD7005, MCD7007 and
the MCD7008 CD Players.
PARALLEL DATA OUTPUT FOR NAKAMICHI
TAPE DECKS
An eight pin DIN connector is provided for remote
control of at least 12 different Nakamichi tape deck
models; CR2, 3, 4, 5 and 7; CR20, 30, 40, 50 and 70;
RX303 and 505 DRAGON. Older Nakamichi units that
have the 8 pin DIN connector for remote can also be
controlled.
COMPATIBLE WITH MclNTOSH REMOTE CONTROL
SYSTEMS
The MSI-1 can be used with the CR10, C38, C39,
MX120 and MX130 to control additional TUNERS, CD
players and Nakamichi TAPE decks.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
A 1/8" "mini" phone jack accepts serial data from the
DATA PORTS on the CR10, C38, C39, MX120 or
MX130. They are convened to parallel data control
signals for Mclntosh CD players, TUNERS and Nakamichi
TAPE decks.
The three DATA inputs are constantly monitored for
input signals. If a signal is detected on the TUNER input
it enables the tuner output. Commands are decoded
by the Mclntosh Micro Processor and delivered to the
TUNER connector. The CD and TAPE commands are
handled the same way.
The MSI-1 makes it possible for the customer to utilize
more than one TUNER, CD or TAPE deck in his remote
control system. It also provides a means of controlling
Nakamichi tape decks from Mclntosh Keypads and hand
held remote transmitters.
