The MC-1 V-DISC input is selected. A movie encoded in Dolby Surround is put in the laser disc player and starts to play. The LDD-1 recognizes that the movie is not AC-3 encoded, and automatically routes the laser disc player's PCM (2-channel digital) signal to the MC-1. The MC-1 identifies the signal as PCM and automatically loads the LOGIC 7 effect (as specified in the INPUT CONFIG menu).
Now, assume the movie is replaced with one that is encoded in Dolby Digital (AC-3). When it begins to play, the LDD-1 recognizes the signal as being AC-3 encoded and demodulates it for the MC-1. The MC-1 automatically loads the 5.1 Logic 7 effect.
The FX ▲ and ▼ buttons are used to audition the other available AC- 3 effects and DOLBY DIGITAL is selected. At some point during the movie, the PAUSE button on the laser disc player is pressed. This causes the laser disc player to temporarily replace the AC-3 output signal with a PCM signal. This change is recognized by the MC-1, which automatically loads the Logic 7 effect (because in this example, AUTO- MATIC is selected as the setting of FX FORMAT and LOGIC 7 is selected as the PCM FX in the INPUT CONFIG menu). Because the laser disc is paused, there is no audio. When PAUSE is released, playback is resumed and the MC-1 automatically reselects the DOLBY DIGITAL effect because it was the last effect selected before the audio was paused. To go back to the default effect, simply press the input button.
Now, the movie is replaced with a 5" music disc that is encoded in DTS. When the disc begins to play, the LDD-1 recognizes that it is not AC-3 encoded, and automatically routes the signal to the MC-1. The MC-1 recognizes the DTS signal and automatically loads the DTS LOGIC 7 effect*. The FX ▲ and ▼ buttons are used to audition the other available DTS effects and DTS MUSIC is selected. At some point, the skip button on the laser disc player is pressed several times to advance to a different track . This causes the laser disc player to temporarily replace the DTS output signal with a PCM signal while it searches for the selected track. This change is recognized by the MC-1, which automatically loads the Logic 7 effect (because in this example, AUTOMATIC is selected as the setting of FX FORMAT and Logic 7 is selected as the PCM FX in the INPUT CONFIG menu). Because the disc player is searching, there is no audio. When playback is resumed, the MC-1 automatically reselects the DTS MUSIC effect.* To go back to the effect selected as a default, simply press the input button.
*As the MC-1 is in AUTOMATIC mode, there may be a brief burst of noise before normal playback begins.
