Introduction to the DC-1

DC-1 Digital Controller

After unpacking the DC-1 , save all packing materials in case you ever need to ship the unit. Thoroughly inspect the DC-1 and packing materials for signs of damage. Remove the adhesive protective film from the DC-1 front- panel lens and remote control. Report any shipment damage to the carrier at once; report equipment malfunction to your dealer.

Because the DC-1 is designed to be customized for your system and your listening space, the information required for installation is extensive.

This manual describes the DC-1 base system, the THX version and the Dolby Digital version, which incorporates all of the THX enhancements in addition to the Dolby Digital features. Features which are available only in certain versions are noted wherever appropriate. To upgrade a base or THX system, contact your dealer, or Lexicon. In most cases, upgrading can be accomplished very easily and rapidly.

The Owner's Manual is designed to assist you in installing, calibrating and operating the DC-1. It should be used in conjunction with the remote control when configuring the system to perform optimally in your environ- ment. This manual was written with the underlying assumption that the installer is familiar with audio/video system installation.

An Installation Worksheet is provided at the end of this manual for documentation of the settings arrived at during the calibration procedure.
