MSB Technology DVD Audio Player user manual Home Theater with Center Rear, Master Slave Mode

level in the blend can be adjusted using the R and L trim pots to set the relitive level of the center in the mix. The disadvantage is that when stereo material is played, the volume will be slightly lower sounding as the center portion is missing. When downmixed digitally in the player, the levels are adjusted automatically.

If you purchase an add-on outboard rear center channel processor, the AUX 1 and AUX 2 output can be selected to duplicate the R and L Rear channels and can be hooked up to the processor to create a new trimmable center without changing the rear channels. If you want to run all the rear channels through the outboard box, then the R and L Rears are hooked directly to the outboard processor, and all three new outputs are input to the MVC.

Master Slave MODE

An MSB MVC can be purchased to act in a slave mode. This extends the Players capability and gives you more channels to work with. For example if you have used all the 8 channels and would like three more separately trimable SUB channels, a slave MVC can be hooked up with a simple CAT5 cable, and the SUB as well as A1 and A2 can be configured for SUB outputs. A slave MVC is different than a standard MVC in that it requires

a different microprocessor. You may order the MVC in the slave mode or ask for the replacement microprocessor and replace the normal Master. It is a simple matter to replace the chip in its socket.

A slave MVC ignores volume and mute commands it receives directly, but looks only to the MSB Network connector on the back for volume directions. It will always match the master MVC. It is separate, however in setup. You set up the volume trims on the slave unit just like you do on the Player.

Another use is with a balanced outboard DAC like the Platinum DAC II. Because the output is balanced, it cannot be passed through the DVD players volume control. A Platinum MVC which is balanced can be added externally and slaved to the DVD player.
