I will add a quick observation. Thanksgiving Day.

We were watching the Lions and Eagles football game. Sure I have heard proper placement of the broadcast ambiences but never so clearly. My Dad and I were sitting front row. We heard the QB talking and barking out signals like we were on the sideline. The second the ball was snapped we could hear the initial impact of pads and helmets and growls! After the play you can hear behind you and above you the PA announcer. The crowd is all over the place.

They get louder with a good or great home team play. Now here's the cool thing. During one of the time outs we could hear the stadium music perfectly clear.

My Wife called down and asked if we were listening to music. That's how clear it was coming in. My other guests made comments like who needs to go to the game when you feel like you are already there- here? It's like sitting in the owner's box with the large screen in our faces and the amazing sound from the MX160. Boy am I anxious to get my ears on a newer firmware! Keep up the great work Chuck and McIntosh.

My Review is coming along nicely and I have plenty to say about Blu ray, music, video games and Auro-3D and Atmos! More to come! Can someone confirm mx-160 has no voice of god channel? Also confirm the aux 1-4 are the same capabilities as in mx-150/151?

In other words, they are used for bi-amping and/or adding subwoofers. There is a TOP or VOG (Aux3 with latest firmware). This is great. So you can select wides, different configurations of subs, front heights(including front height center) and top(vog) using the 4 aux.

Mcintosh Mx110 Manual

Maximum configuration for auro 3d is 7ch + 4 height + front center + vog = 13.1. Mx-160 can do this plus 2 additional aux for wides or 2 additional subs. I am in the market for a new 3D SSP currently have the Marantz 7702 but I am no longer interested in an Audyssey solution but I know nothing about the MX-160 and Room Perfect so just a couple of quick questions: I am considering, in addition to the MX160, the new Arcam units (Dirac based), the 'eventual' new Emotiva SSP 16 channels of Dirac, and if I win the lottery, the Datasat RS20i. Are the target curves adjustable? Are trim and distance adjustable after RP does it's thing? Since there is still no (or at least not much) source material for Auro, my interest is Atmos.

What is the maximum number of Atmos channels that can CURRENTLY be driven by the 160. Audioguy, I just switched from the AV7702 to the MX 160, night and day difference. Also for all of you joining this thread there have been several discussion at the end of the MX 151 thread.

One more problem, not sure what is causing it, but as of yesterday the MX 160 is not turning on the MC 8207. Checked the connection everything is fine, don't know if it has anything to do with he Control4 remote. Since you said that you checked the connection and everything is fine, I am therefore assuming that the power control cable between the MX160 and MC8207 is still in place. That being the case, is the power switch on the MC8207 is the 'On' position or the 'Remote/Off' position? It should be in the 'Remote/Off' position. If it still doesn't come on when the MX160 is turned on, try moving the position of the 'Auto Off' switch on the back of the MC8207 to the 'Disable' position.

Rocket from the crypt all systems go. See Page 13 of the MC8207 owner's manual for more info on that. Hope this helps. Thanks John, yes the control cable is connected and the switch is set to remote.

I will try your fix tonight, it has to be something simple. One question for everyone with the MX 160, how long does it take for your unit to fully turn on, mine takes approximately 22 seconds, is that normal? You're welcome. I am thinking the reset sequence for the Auto Off described in the MC8207 manual may do the trick. If that doesn't work, try unplugging the power cord from the rear of the MX160 for 15-20 seconds to reset its microprocessors.

Yes, approximately 22 seconds is how long it takes my MX160 to fully turn on. We set my Control4 driver to wait until 25 seconds after issuing the discrete 'Power On' command before sending an input change command to work around the long boot-up time. Good news / Bad news. Good news, last night I watched Mad Max Fury Road, where as the movie is pretty stupid, the special effects were great and the MX 160 sounded fantastic.

The MX 160 brought out every possible sound and was incredibly clean, this is a great demo movie, little violent. Bad news, for some reason the 160 decided to shut down on me about 20 minutes into the movie, no clue why. Everything else stayed on but not the 160. Turned it back on and tried to go to the menu on my tablet, the home screen would pop up but would not allow me to do anything on it, it was frozen. I rebooted the tablet but no luck.
