MC-1 Connections

Input sources should be connected directly to the MC-1 inputs.

Connect your main stereo amplifier to the MC-1 FRONT outputs.

Connect any additional amplifiers to the remaining outputs on the

MC-1: side amplifiers to the SIDE outputs, rear amplifiers to the REAR

outputs, center-channel amplifier to the CENTER output and the sub-

woofer amp to the SUBWOOFER output. If you are using di-pole

surround speakers, the amplifier driving them should be connected to

the MC-1 SIDE outputs.

Whenever possible, connect both analog and digital outputs of digital

sources. This enables use of a digital input for the main zone, and the

corresponding analog input for the Record/Zone 2 outputs.
