Default MX121 Owner's Manual Supplements?




As I hope you can see, this excerpt, taken from Page 10 of the MX121 Owner's Manual, refers to a "separate folded sheet" that
came in the "Owner's Manual Packet." This separate sheet seems to be an illustrated view of the MX121's rear panel, and is further
identified as Mc1A. There are references to other separate sheets in other parts of the manual, but I assume that you get the point.

We recently acquired a pristine example of this AVP. We have an Owner's Manual for it, but it didn't come with an "Owner's Manual
Packet." If anyone would kindly point us toward how and/or where we can get a copy of these separate folded sheets, we would
really appreciate the help.

Thank you for your time.

McIntosh "parts", which can be reached thru their website, does an excellent job of supplying manuals and parts for all their gear back 60yr, or more. Reasonable pricing, as well.

All those MX-121 supplemental documents referred to in the Owner's manual are available for download in .pdf format on McIntosh's website under the Support tab.

Just enter your product type and model information. The downloads available will appear and you can download and save to your heart's content.

Although I was able to find the documentation we needed via the Mac Labs website, YB-2, I will definitely keep this in mind for any other Mac equipment we need information on.

We also have a second MX unit in our rack at the present time. We have the original owner's manual for it, but the plethora of helpful supplemental data that was produced for the MX121 has me wondering if the same kind of helpful literature wasn't generated for the MX151.

By the way, I'm a Miles fan, as well. What did you think of 'In A Silent Way'?

Thank you for pointing us in the right direction, sir.

As I mentioned in my last post, I'm wondering whether or not the same kind of helpful literature was produced for the MX151?

My pleasure.

Yes, the MX151 manual has the same sort of supplements in it as separate sheets. They are available at the McIntosh website under the Support tab in a .pdf document format.

Click on Support (top of main page) > Product Support > Select your Product Category > Select your Model Number > Click on the Search button.

I looked for anything to do with the MX151 last night, Michael, and I couldn't find the MX151 Model Number. I just looked again with no luck. I searched under the "Home Theater Audio/Video Processors" category. Did you find it elsewhere?

The MX151 is definitely there and on the list.

Model number tab scroll down .... last one under Mx150

Nope...it is still there. You just have to scroll down a bit in the Model Number box to find MX151 Bill.

That's really strange, Michael. Immediately after reading your post, I went back to the Mac Labs website.

Here's the tree I used:

Support > Product Support > Product Category (Selected: Home Theatre Audio/Video Processors) > Model Number...(No MX151 is visible)

As I posted before, the last model number in the dropdown combination box was MX150...until I scrolled down to the Product Registration section at the bottom of the webpage. Once that white section at the bottom of the webpage was revealed, I could scroll down one more model number to > MX151.

Computers...can't live with 'em; can't afford to throw 'em out the window.
