Audio In This option in the INPUT CONFIG menu determines which audio input connector on the DC-1 rear panel will be used for the MAIN zone. Using the digital inputs will always yield better performance, and these should be used whenever a source component has a digital audio output. The options availble for AUDIO IN are: ANALOG, COAX (1-2) and OPTICAL (1-2).
Analog When ANALOG is selected for a given input, the DC-1 will use the corresponding analog stereo audio input to generate the MAIN OUTPUTS. Note that selecting ANALOG will automatically select PCM ONLY as the FX FORMAT as the AC-3 and DTS effects are only compatible with digital inputs.
COAX 1-2 and
OPTICAL 1-2

Video In
NOTE: S-Video input signals will be output on both the composite and S-Video jacks. However, if you are only connecting to the monitor via the S-Video output, composite video input sources will not be displayed.
When one of these four digital inputs is selected, the DC-1 will use it to derive the signal for the MAIN OUTPUTS. Note that all four digital inputs can be used for various DC-1 inputs. This is particularly useful when using source components such as a laser disc or a DVD player to drive multiple DC-1 inputs.
Note when using a PCM digital audio source sampled at 48kHz, the following effects will operate:
PARTY
2-CHANNEL MUSIC SURROUND MUSIC LOGIC LOGIC 7
TV MATRIX
PRO LOGIC
THX CINEMA
The inputs labeled VCR1, VCR2, V-DISC, TV and AUX normally have corresponding video inputs. The inputs labeled CD, TUNER, and TAPE do not have associated video inputs, and default to the VCR1 video input. For maximum configuration flexibility, each of the five video inputs can be assigned to a different input, or to multiple inputs. If the assigned video input has both S-Video and composite jacks, the S-video signal takes priority whenever a cable is plugged into the appropriate S-video connec- tor.
