DC-1 Version 4 Digital Controller

Installation

 

 

 

 

 

 

The DC-1 has five composite and three S-Video inputs. Connection to an S-

Video Connections

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. Composite input signals willnot 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 VCR1 as the tuner for TV viewing, as the video

 

 

feed from the VCR can be assigned to both the VCR1 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.

 

 

The DC-1 has four digital audio inputs: two coax via RCA and two optical

Digital Audio Connections

via TOSLINK™. The digital inputs can be set up to be selected with any (or

 

 

all) of the eight inputs via the Input Configuration menu. Using the digital

 

 

inputs will always provide superior performance.

 

 

Note that "AC-3 ready" laser disc and LD/DVD players output Dolby

"AC-3 Ready" Laser Disc and

Digital (AC-3) data from laser discs on a separate RCA jack in Radio

LD/DVD Players

Frequency (RF) form. To maintain the exceptional performance of the

 

 

DC-1, an outboard demodulator is required to turn this RF signal back into

 

 

a digital bitstream. By performing the necessary demodulation outside the

 

 

DC-1, the potential for RF interference is eliminated. The Lexicon LDD-1 is

 

 

an excellent example of one such device.
