Whenever possible, connect both analog and digital outputs of digital sources. This enables use of a digital input for the main zone, and the corresponding analog input for the Record/Zone 2 outputs.
Note the use of Y-connectors to feed the DC-1 Record output to both the VCR and the tape deck. In this example, Y-connectors are also used to direct the VCR audio output to both the TV and VCR inputs on the DC-1, so that the VCR can also be used as a TV tuner.
Video Connections The DC-1 has five composite video inputs, three of which also support S- Video. Connection to an S-Video input will override the composite signal connected via the RCA-type connector. Note that an S-Video input will be output on both the composite and S-Video outputs. The reverse is not true
— composite input signals will not be output as S-Video.
You can assign any video source to any (or all) of the eight DC-1 inputs via the Input Configuration submenu of the Setup menu. This can be very useful in systems which use a VCR as the tuner for TV viewing, as the video feed from the VCR can be assigned to both the VCR and TV inputs. The VCR's audio signals can be fed to both inputs with Y-connectors. (Do not use Y-connectors on video signals.) This allows the audio and video signals from the VCR to be used for both TV and VCR viewing.
You can also assign any video source to audio-only sources such as an AM/
FM tuner, to enjoy music from another source while viewing a video source.
It is important to remember that the impedance characteristics of composite video and digital audio are different from analog audio. You should only use cables specifically designed for video and digital audio. Consult your dealer for recommendations.
Digital Audio Connections The digital inputs can be set up to be selected with any (or all) of the eight inputs via the Setup menu. Two coaxial (RCA) and two optical (TOSLINK™) inputs are provided. Using the digital inputs will always provide better performance.
The Base and THX versions of the DC-1 will accept digital signals sampled at 44.1kHz. The Dolby Digital version of the DC-1 accepts sample rates of either 44.1 or 48kHz.
