DC-1 Digital Controller

As protection against feedback, the TAPE and VCR1 inputs are normally blocked from being used as sources for the Record and Zone 2 outputs. This default condition can be changed in the Input Configuration menu as follows.

Use MENU ▲ and ▼ to select REC/ZONE 2, then press SELECT. The MENU ▲ and ▼ buttons will select ANALOG, DIGITAL, or BLOCKED as the state of the input.

ANALOG allows maximum flexibility by utilizing both the digital and analog connections of a digital source component (provided both are connected). The DC-1 processes the digital input signal for the main zone, and simultaneously routes the analog input signal to the Record and Zone 2 outputs. Since no D/A converters are necessary for the analog input signal, the functionality in the Main zone is not compromised.

DIGITAL routes the digital signal, assigned to the input, to the DC-1’s 20- bit Digital to Analog (D/A) converters. After conversion, the signal is sent to the Record and Zone 2 outputs. As this setup bypasses the D/A convert- ers in the source component, and utilizes the 20-bit D/A converters in the DC-1, sound quality can be dramatically improved when recording or listening in Zone 2. This setup automatically engages Effect Bypass in the main zone.

BLOCKED simply blocks the input from being sent to the Record and Zone 2 outputs. This prevents feedback from occurring with devices that have both an input and output attached to the DC-1 (Tape deck, VCR, etc.).

The remote control can be placed into an exclusive Record/Zone 2 control mode during normal operation by holding down ACCY and pressing RECORD/ZONE 2. This will display the message:

ZONE 2 IR REMOTE

MODE ENABLED

In this mode, the Volume, Mute, Input selection and L/R Balance controls will directly control the Zone 2 outputs with no effect on the Main outputs. Pressing any other keys will display the message:

ZONE 2 MODE ENABLED

KEY INVALID

To exit Zone 2 Remote mode and return the remote control to normal operation, press and hold ACCY, then press SELECT. The message:

NORMAL IR REMOTE

MODE ENABLED

will be displayed to confirm that normal operation has been restored.

NOTE: Removing the block from any input which has both an input and output attached may cause damaging feedback.
