Configuration
PCM Only
If PCM ONLY is selected as the FX FORMAT for a given input, only PCM
effects in the MC-1 can be used. When the MC-1 receives a signal which
is
not PCM encoded, it will mute and display "NO PCM AUDIO."
In the previous example, if PCM ONLY had been selected, rather than
AUTOMATIC, the MC-1 would have muted and displayed "NO PCM
AUDIO" when the AC-3 movie and the DTS music disc were being
played.
AC-3 Only
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 MC-1 to mute and display "NO AC-3 AUDIO." The FX
▲
and
▼
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 MC-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 MC-1 would have muted rather than automatically
selecting the PCM effect Logic 7.
DTS Only
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 the MC-1 to mute and display "NO DTS AUDIO." The FX
▲
and
▼
buttons will select only DTS effects.
In our example, selecting DTS as the FX Format setting, would have
caused the MC-1 to mute and display "NO DTS AUDIO" when the Dolby
Surround and AC-3 movies were played. When the DTS music disc was
advanced, the MC-1 would have muted briefly rather than automatically
selecting the PCM effect Logic 7. There would not have been any brief
bursts of noise before playback began.
NOTE: As DTS is a digital format,
you
must have a digital input se-
lected for AUDIO IN in the INPUT
CONFIG menu.
NOTE: PCM ONLY is automati-
cally selected for an input when-
ever ANALOG is selected as the
AUDIO IN setting, as AC-3 and
DTS effects are incompatible with
analog inputs.
NOTE: As AC-3 is a digital format,
you
must have a digital input se-
lected for AUDIO IN in the INPUT
CONFIG menu.
