DIGITAL
The MC-12HD passes digital audio
from the assigned input to the Zone 2

connectors. The assigned analog audio
input is ignored. Zones can be indepen-
dently monitored.
Note the following:
• Zone 2 and the Record Zone are
muted if the DIGITAL IN parameter is
set to HDMI AUDIO. In this case,
DMIX must be selected.
• The MC-12HD passes digital sources
to all Zone 2 or Record Zone audio
output connectors.
• The MC-12HD passes digital input
signals directly to the Record Zone
digital audio output connectors. The
MC-12HD sends digital input signals
through D/A conversion before
passing them to the Zone 2 or Record
Zone analog a udio
connectors.
• When no analog audio input is
assigned, ZONE2 IN and RECORD
IN are set to DIGITAL.
• The INPUT SETUP menu DIGITAL
IN parameter can be used to assign
a digital audio input connector for
the selected input.
ANLG (Analog)
The MC-12HD passes analog audio
from the assigned input to the Zone 2
or Record Zone audio output
connectors. The assigned digital audio
input is ignored. Zones can be indepen-
dently monitored.
Note the following:
• The MC-12HD passes analog
sources to all Zone 2 or Record
Zone audio output connectors.
• The MC-12HD passes analog input
signals directly to the Zone 2 or
Record Zone analog audio output
connectors. The MC-12HD sends
analog input signals through A/D
conversion before passing them to
the Record Zone digital audio
output connectors.

from the Zone 2 or Record Zone audio output connectors.
The MC-12HD passes a downmixed version of Main Zone audio to the
Zone 2 or Record Zone audio output connectors. Zones cannot be
independently monitored. Downmixing is possible when all of the
following conditions are met:
• The same input is selected in both Main Zone and Zone 2 or in
both Main Zone and Record Zone. Otherwise, the Zone 2 or
Record Zone audio output connectors will mute.
• The 5.1mc BYPASS listening mode is not activated.
Note the following:
• If the downmixed audio is coming from the HDMI input, and the
content is HDCP-encoded, the sample rate is limited to no more
than 48kHz.
• If the audio from a copy-protected DVD-Audio disc is input
through HDMI, then no digital audio output is available.
• A downmix of all channels is sent to Zone 2.
• Main Zone listening mode activation affects the Zone 2 and
Record Zone audio output connectors. For example, when the
MONO listening mode is activated, the Zone 2 and Record Zone
audio output connectors will generate mono output signals.
• Set the ZONE2 IN and RECORD IN parameters to DMIX when
using a playback device (DVD player) that does not have built-in
