System

Configuration

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.

Audio In

This option in the INPUT CONFIG menu determines which audio input

connector on the MC-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 available for AUDIO IN are: ANALOG, COAX (1-5) and OPTI-

CAL (1-3).

Analog

When ANALOG is selected for a given input, the MC-1 will use the

corresponding

analog stereo audio input to generate the MAIN OUT-

PUTS. 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 1-5 and OPTICAL 1-3 (Digital Audio Inputs)

When one of these eight digital inputs is selected, the MC-1 will use it

to derive the signal for the MAIN OUTPUTS. Note that all eight digital

inputs can be used for various MC-1 inputs. This is particularly useful

when using a source component such as a VCR, laser disc or DVD

player to drive multiple MC-1 inputs.

When using a PCM digital audio source sampled at 48kHz, the following

effects will operate: PARTY, 2-CHANNEL, MUSIC SURROUND, MU-

SIC LOGIC, LOGIC 7, TV MATRIX, PRO LOGIC and THX CINEMA.

NOTE: The Expansion Port input cannot be assigned as the default

for any input.

Video In

All of the inputs (VCR, DVD, V-DISC, TV, AUX, CD, TUNER and TAPE)

have corresponding video inputs. For maximum configuration flexibility,

each of these 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 connector.
