DC-1 Digital Controller
The DC-1 is a highly specialized signal processing computer and requires
special care during installation to ensure optimum performance.
The DC-1 may be installed on a shelf or in a standard 19" equipment rack,
using rack-mounting hardware available from Lexicon. Observe the fol-
lowing precautions:
• Select a dry, well-ventilated location out of direct sunlight.
• Do not stack the DC-1 directly above heat-producing equipment such as
power amplifiers.
• Avoid placing the DC-1 near unshielded TV or FM antennas, cable TV
decoders, or other receivers. The DC-1 may interfere with some FM
tuners if it is placed immediately above or below them. Some products,
particularly power amplifiers, may cause hum in the DC-1 if they are in
close proximity.
• Make sure the DC-1 front panel IR receiver window is unobstructed. The
remote control must be in line-of-sight to this receiver for proper
operation. If line-of-sight is impractical, an infrared remote repeater can
be used with the rear panel IR connector. The DC-1 may be placed in a
glass-doored cabinet but smoked glass will make the front panel Liquid
Crystal Display (LCD) difficult to read and will reduce the sensitivity of
the IR receiver.
The DC-1 is designed to be connected to an uninterrupted AC power line in
the same manner as a VCR or aTV with a clock in it. Like all computers, the
DC-1 is sensitive to voltage fluctuations. We therefore recommend the use
of an AC line filter to protect against line surges, or the installation of a line
conditioner to protect against under voltage (brownouts) as well as over-
voltage conditions.
The DC-1 has a master power switch on the rear panel above the IEC
standard AC power receptacle. This switch may be left ON continuously
when the unit is in regular use. When the DC-1 will not be used for an
extended period of time, or whenever you are connecting or disconnecting
any cables to the unit, this switch should be turned OFF.
Connect the power cable to the DC-1, then plug the power cord into a wall
outlet or into an unswitched outlet on a surge protector. Be sure that the
power cord is firmly seated in the connector on the rear panel of the DC-1.
