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.
