SELECTING PREFERRED LISTENING MODES
The MC-12 allows the selection of four preferred listening modes
for each Main Zone input, including one listening mode each for
2-channel, Dolby Digital, dts(-ES), and 5.1-channel analog sources.
The table below indicates the INPUT SETUP menu parameters that
can be used to select preferred listening modes.
Preferred Listening Mode Selection Parameters
2-CH Selects a preferred listening mode for 2-channel
sources
D Selects a preferred listening mode for Dolby Digital
sources
Selects a preferred listening mode for dts(-ES)
sources
5.1a Selects a preferred listening mode for 5.1-channel
analog sources
When a preferred listening mode is selected, the MC-12
automatically activates that listening mode whenever a new input
is selected or an appropriate input source is present. For instance,
the DVD1 and CD INPUT SETUP menu preferred listening mode
selection parameters are set as shown above.
• If the DVD1 input is selected while a 2-channel source is
present, the MC-12 will automatically activate the FILM
listening mode. If a 5.1-channel analog source becomes
present, the MC-12 will automatically activate the 5.1a FILM
listening mode.
• If the CD input is selected while a Dolby Digital source is
present, the MC-12 will automatically activate the 5.1 MUSIC
listening mode. If the DVD1 input is then selected while a
dts(-ES) source is present, the MC-12 will automatically activate
the FILM listening mode.

The DVD1 INPUT SETUP menu is shown here as an example, and will continue to be shown as an example throughout this section. Whenever it appears, any other INPUT SETUP menu
may be substituted. Likewise, whenever the DVD1 input appears as a step in a menu path, any other input may be substituted.
