feedback, producing a loud, very unpleasant noise through your speakers until you change the source or press MUTE.
Because the signal for the Zone output is selected separately, you can use that output to record one input source on an audio or video recorder while a different source is playing in the main zone.

The digital outputs can feed digital recorders, but only with signals coming in through one of the C 1 Controller’s eight digital inputs.
Selecting Sound Patterns (Listening Modes)
The C 1 has a total of 15 surround, stereo, and mono sound patterns called modes, which can be selected from the front panel or the Master remote.
From the front panel, press the SURROUND button then, within 5 seconds, begin turning the knob until the desired mode is shown on the
To change modes from the Master remote, go to Page 1 of the C1/C2 menu (press the remote’s MAIN button, then the key next to “C1/C2” on the display) then use the keys next to the MODE– and +MODE lines on the remote’s display to reach the surround mode you want.
These settings affect signals from any input except the
•Mono: Downmixes (blends) all channels of the current input signal to mono fed through the center speak- er. If you have no center speaker, and have indicated this in “Speaker setup” (page 26), the signal will be mixed into the stereo L and R outputs. (If you prefer to hear mono through the L and R speakers, go to the “Speaker setup” menu and, from the “Size” submenu, change “Center speaker” to “No”; don’t forget, however, to change it back when you resume normal listening.)
•Stereo: Plays all sources in stereo, through the front left and right channels. When surround input signals are played in stereo mode, the contents of the surround, rear, and center channels are reproduced in the stereo output signal.
•Direct: Automatically reproduces the digital audio signal on any DVD signal in its own format, whether it be surround, stereo, or mono.
•Stereo96: A “pure audio” mode for analog input signals that raises the sampling rate of the A/D convert- ers from 48 kHz to 96 kHz, and disables such DSP adjustments as tone controls (see pages 18, 24, and
26)and bass management. Unlike other
(Note: Tone adjustments you make in this mode do not affect the sound until you switch to another mode.)

•Dolby Pro Logic II Music: Optimized for music listening, this mode is designed to produce surround ambi- ence from stereo sources such as CDs. It has three adjustments not found in Pro Logic or Pro Logic II Movie: Center Width, which adjusts the apparent width of the
