DC-1 Digital Controller
The DC-1 has the ability to load an effect whenever an input is chosen. For Input Effect Assignment example, if you primarily listen to CD’s with the CONCERT HALL effect,
the DC-1 can be set to load this effect when the CD input is chosen. (You can listen to any effect using the EFFECT button on the front panel or the remote control.) If you select USE LAST, the DC-1 will load the last effect used for the selected input. Any effect can be assigned to any or all of the eight inputs.
The Dolby Digital version of the DC-1 will automatically switch to an AC-3 effect whenever AC-3 encoded material is detected at the input. This allows one input to be used for different formats. For example, in the factory default state, the V-DISC input will automatically load the THX 5.1 effect when an AC-3 signal is present, and the THX CINEMA effect when a non- AC-3 signal is present. The default selections for input effect assignment are shown below for all three versions of the DC-1.
| Base | THX | Dolby Digital |
| Effect | Effect | non AC-3 Effect | AC-3 Effect |
| | | | |
VCR1 | PRO LOGIC | THX CINEMA | THX CINEMA | USE LAST |
VCR2 | PRO LOGIC | PRO LOGIC | PRO LOGIC | USE LAST |
V-DISC | PRO LOGIC | THX CINEMA | THX CINEMA | THX 5.1 |
TV | TV MATRIX | TV MATRIX | TV MATRIX | USE LAST |
AUX | PARTY | PARTY | PARTY | USE LAST |
CD | MUSIC LOGIC | MUSIC SURROUND | MUSIC SURROUND USE LAST |
TUNER | NIGHTCLUB | CONCERT HALL | CONCERT HALL | USE LAST |
TAPE | CHURCH | CHURCH | CHURCH | USE LAST |

* V-DISC is the only input which has an AC-3 effect assigned as a factory default.
The DC-1 remote control can be set up for direct access of as many as eight effects. To assign these, first press the EFFECT button on the remote to scroll to the effect you want to assign. Hold down the ACCY button on the remote and press any one of the eight input buttons. The display will confirm your selection.
