The Rear Panel

CAUTION: Never make or break any connections to the MC-1 with the rear-panel power ON.

Make sure any associated amplifiers are turned off before turning this master power switch

on or off.

1 AUDIO INPUTS

8 stereo analog audio inputs

switched with corresponding

video inputs and fed to the

Monitor outputs. Inputs are

nominally labeled as origi-

nating from an audio tape

player, tuner, CD player, an

unspecified auxiliary source,

a TV tuner, a Laser or Video

Disc player, a DVD player,

and a VCR.

2 ZONE2 and RECORD

3 pairs of stereo audio out-

puts and 2 video outputs sup-

ply the same signal accord-

ing to the Record/Zone 2 in-

put selection. Zone 2 output

levels can be controlled in-

dependently for use with

amplifiers and speakers in

another room. These out-

puts are muted in Standby.

3 MAIN OUTPUTS

3 stereo amplifier outputs

provided for front, side and

rear speakers. Single out-

puts are provided for the cen-

ter speaker and the

subwoofer. These outputs

are muted in Standby.

4 IR Input, PWR and

PGM TRIGGERS

The IR input is an 1/8" mono

connector for input of IR data

from any industry-standard

IR source. Data is retransmit-

ted by an IR LED mounted

near the front panel IR re-

ceiver.

2 trigger outputs are pro-

vided on 4-pin removable

screw terminals, and a 5-pin

DIN connector, as shown in

the expanded illustration

above. The PWR trigger is

high when the MC-1 is on,

low in standby or when the

unit is off. The PGM trigger

can be enabled (high) or dis-

abled (low) for specific input

selections in the Input Con-

figuration menu. High is indi-

cated by either +12VDC or

+5VDC, selectable via an in-

ternal jumper. (Factory con-

figuration is +12V.)

5 VIDEO INPUTS and

OUTPUTS

8 video input sources se-

lected based on selections

made in the INPUT CONFIG

menu and fed to the selected

monitor output jack. Record

output jacks can be selected

independently.

RCA (composite) and

S-video connectors are pro-

vided for monitor and record.

If an S-video input is used,

both S-video and composite

are available at each output.

If the video input is compos-

ite, only composite is avail-

able at each output. The

monitor output incorporates

the on-screen video overlay.

Unless RECORD is en-

abled, the record output fol-

lows the monitor output se-

lection without the on-screen

display feature. All three out-

puts are blanked in Standby.

6 S/PDIF INPUTS

5 coaxial RCA connectors

and 3 optical connectors for

digital audio input.

7 S/PDIF OUTPUT

Coaxial digital audio output

for digital-to-digital audio re-

cording. Any digital audio

output (coaxial or optical)

selected for Record or Zone

2 will also be sent directly to

this output.

8 EXPANSION PORTS

3 coaxial digital audio inputs

capable of accepting stereo

PCM signals up to 24-bit/

96kHz. Note: These inputs

completely bypass the digital

signal processing path, in-

cluding the crossovers and

effects, passing the audio

signal directly to the following

channels: A to the L and R

Front channels, B to the Cen-

ter and Subwoofer channels

and C to the L and R Sur-

round channels.

9 RS 232

Reserved for future control

and communication options.

10 RS 232

Serial port connector for au-

tomation and control sys-

tems.

11 Power On/Off

Master power switch discon-

nects the AC Mains. This

switch is intended to be left

On during regular use.

Whenever cables are con-

nected or disconnected, or

when the unit is not going to

be used for an extended pe-

riod of time, this switch

should be set to Off.

12 POWER

AC power connector: 3-wire,

10 Amp, IEC 320.
