Restore Factory Defaults

Although the MC-1 memory is cleared before it leaves the factory, it is

good practice to restore the factory defaults with the following procedure

before system configuration.

Turn the MC-1 OFF with the remote control. Turn the unit back ON and

immediately press and hold the MUTE button on the remote. (Make sure

you do not block the infrared receiver on the MC-1 front panel.) The

display will read:

Press ▼ to highlight RESTORE DEFAULTS, then press SELECT. This

will clear and reload all preset effects and all factory settings of Volume,

Balance, Contrast, Configuration, etc. When the message FACTORY

DEFAULTS RESTORED is displayed, press DONE to return to normal

operation.

Equalization

In the main menu, press SELECT to open the Equalization menu which

contains Bass, Treble and Tilt controls, and a Loudness parameter.

Bass and Treble Level

Bass and Treble level controls are provided to compensate for inconsis-

tencies in source material, rather than variations in room conditions. The

BASS LEVEL control allows a boost or cut of as much as 6dB below

250Hz. The TREBLE LEVEL control allows a boost or cut of 6dB above

1.5kHz. To select either control for adjustment, use ▲ or ▼ to select the

control, press SELECT, and use ▲ or ▼ to adjust the setting.

These controls do not affect the sound of rear or side speakers.
