MC-12

Basic Operation

1. Power Switch

Connects power to the AC input connector and disconnects power from the AC input connector. The c represents the "off" position and therepresents the "on" position. When the MC-12 is powered on, the standby button can be used to activate and deactivate standby mode. When the MC-12 is powered off, standby mode is not available.

2. AC Input Connector

Provides power to the MC-12 through the supplied power cord (3 wire, 10 amp, IEC 320).

3. Digital Audio Input Connectors (S/PDIF & AES/EBU)

Provide digital audio input in all zones. Six S/PDIF coaxial, six S/PDIF optical (TosLink), and one AES/EBU (XLR) input connectors are available. These connectors are compatible with PCM (44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96kHz), Dolby Digital, and dts(-ES) sources. These connectors are not compatible with MPEG or MP3 sources.

4. Analog Audio Input Connectors

Provide analog audio input in all zones. Eight stereo analog audio input connectors labeled 1 to 8 are available. The connectors labeled 6, 7, and 8 can be configured as a 5.1- channel connector.

When a 5.1-channel analog audio source is present in the Main Zone, input signals are sent to the Main Zone audio output connectors as indicated in the table at the top of the next

column. When a 5.1-channel analog source is present in the Main Zone and the INPUT SETUP menu ZONE2 IN or RECORD IN parameter is set to DMIX, only the (L) and (R) input signals are sent to the Zone 2 or Record Zone audio output connectors.

Input Connector(s)	Output Connector(s)
(L) & (R)	Front L/R
(C)	Center
(SUB)	Subwoofer L/R & LFE
(LS) & (RS)	Side L/R & Rear L/R

5. Main Zone Audio Output Connectors
