Installation and
Calibration
AC-3 Only
New
NOTE: As AC-3 is a digital for-
mat, you must have a digital
input selected for AUDIO IN in
the INPUT CONFIG menu.
DTS Only
NOTE: As DTS is a digital for-
mat, you must have a digital
input selected for AUDIO IN in
the INPUT CONFIG menu.

Audio In

Earlier versions of the DC-1 had this
menu item labeled DIGITAL. Se-
lecting ANALOG in the current ver-
sion is the equivalent of selecting
NONE in previous versions.
COAX-1, 2 and
OPTICAL-1, 2

When AC-3 ONLY is selected as the FX FORMAT, only AC-3 effects can be
used on that input. Any other type of signal received on that input will cause
the DC-1 to mute and display "NO AC-3 AUDIO." The EFFECT
buttons will select only AC-3 effects. This is recommended for any input
which will be used only for AC-3 playback.
In our example, selecting AC-3 as the FX Format setting, would have caused
the DC-1 to mute and display "NO AC-3 AUDIO" when the Dolby Surround
movie and the DTS music disc were played. When the laser disc was paused,
the DC-1 would have muted rather than automatically selecting the PCM
effect Logic 7.
When DTS ONLY is selected as the FX FORMAT, only DTS effects can be
used on that input. Any other type of signal received on that input will cause
New
the DC-1 to mute and display "NO DTS AUDIO." The EFFECT
buttons will select only DTS effects.
In our example, selecting DTS as the FX Format setting, would have caused
the DC-1 to mute and display "NO DTS AUDIO" when the Dolby Surround
and AC-3 movies were played. When the laser disc was advanced to track
9, the DC-1 would have muted briefly rather than automatically selecting
the PCM effect Logic 7.
This option in the INPUT CONFIG menu determines which audio input
connector on the DC-1 rear panel will be used for the MAIN zone. Using the
New
digital inputs will always yield better performance, and these should be
used whenever a source component has a digital audio output. The five
options availble for AUDIO IN are: ANALOG, COAX-1, COAX-2, OPTI-
CAL-1 and OPTICAL-2.
Analog
When ANALOG is selected for a given input, the DC-1 will use the
corresponding analog stereo audio input to generate the MAIN OUTPUTS.
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.
When one of these four digital inputs is selected, the DC-1 will use it to
derive the signal for the MAIN OUTPUTS. Note that all four of the digital
inputs can be used for multiple DC-1 inputs. This is particularly useful
when using source components that support multiple formats, such as a
laser disc, compact disc or DVD player.
