System Configuration

Lexicon

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).

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.

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.

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.
