INPUT SELECT Parameter Settings

The MC-12 sends the assigned digital audio
input connector to the Main Zone audio output
connectors. The MC-12 ignores the assigned
analog audio input connector.
Note the following:
• When an incompatible digital source is
present, the MC-12 automatically selects
the assigned analog audio input connector.
The digital audio input connectors are
compatible with PCM (44.1, 48, 88.2, and
96kHz), Dolby Digital, and dts(-ES)
sources. The digital audio input connectors
are not compatible with MPEG or MP3
sources.
• The MC-12 automatically sets the INPUT
SELECT parameter to DIGITAL when no
analog audio input connector is assigned.
• The INPUT SETUP menu DIGITAL IN
parameter can be used to assign a digital
audio input connector for the selected
input.
The MC-12 sends the assigned analog audio
input connector to the Main Zone audio output
connectors. The MC-12 ignores the assigned
digital audio input connector.
Note the following:
• The MC-12 automatically sets the INPUT
SELECT parameter to ANALOG when no
digital audio input connector is assigned.
• The INPUT SETUP menu ANALOG IN
parameter can be used to assign an analog
audio input connector for the selected
input.
The MC-12 toggles between sending the assigned
digital and analog audio input connectors to the Main
Zone audio output connectors based on the input
source that is present.
For example:
• The MC-12 selects the assigned digital audio input
connector when a compatible digital source is
present. The MC-12 will not select the assigned
analog audio input connector when a compatible
digital source is present.
• The MC-12 selects the assigned analog audio input
connector when an incompatible digital source is
present.
• The MC-12 selects the assigned analog audio input
connector when an analog source, such as an
SACD, is present.
Note the following:
• The MC-12 automatically sets the INPUT SELECT
parameter to AUTO when both digital and analog
audio input connectors are assigned.
• The AUTO setting is recommended for components
that generate both digital and analog input signals,
such as DVD/SACD players.
