Lexicon DC-1 Connecting the DC-1 as a preamp

DC-1 Digital Controller

Installation and

Calibration

Connecting theDC-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.
