Connecting the

DC-1 as a preamp

Input sources can each be connected directly to the DC-1 inputs. A typical system might use the TV, VCR1, V-DISC and CD and TUNER (output through a preamp). Since TAPE, TUNER and CD are audio only, the video output will default to the video signal fromVCR 1. This feature allows TV or other video source viewing while different audio is playing, but can be defeated in the Setup menu.

Connect your main stereo amplifier to the DC-1 FRONT outputs. Connect any additional amplifier/speaker combinations to the remaining outputs on the DC-1: side amplifiers to the SIDE outputs, rear amplifiers to the REAR outputs, center-channel amplifier to the CENTER output and the subwoofer amp to the SUBWOOFER output. If you are using THX-type dipolar surround speakers, the amplifier driving them should be connected to the DC-1 SIDE outputs.
