DIGITAL ANALOG AUTO
The MC-8 automatically sets the INPUT
SELECT parameter to DIGITAL when the
ANALOG IN parameter is set to NONE.
• The MC-8 sends the assigned digital
audio input connector to the Main Zone
audio output connectors. The MC-8
ignores the assigned analog audio input
connector.
• The digital audio input connectors are
compatible with PCM (44.1, 48, 88.2,
and 96kHz), Dolby Digital, and dts(-ES)
sources. If an incompatible digital audio
source (i.e. MPEG or MP3) is present, the
MC-8 automatically selects the assigned
analog audio input connector.
• The DIGITAL IN parameter (3-7) can be
used to assign a digital audio input
connector for the selected input.
The MC-8 automatically sets the INPUT
SELECT parameter to ANALOG when the
DIGITAL IN parameter is set to NONE.
• The MC-8 sends the assigned analog
audio input connector to the Main Zone
audio output connectors. The MC-8
ignores the assigned digital audio input
connector.
• The ANALOG IN parameter (3-8) can be
used to assign an analog audio input
connector for the selected input.
The MC-8 automatically sets the INPUT SELECT
parameter to AUTO when both digital and
analog audio input connectors are assigned.
• The MC-8 toggles between sending the
assigned digital and analog audio input
connectors to the Main Zone audio output
connectors based on the input source that
is present. For example:
– When a 2-channel PCM, Dolby Digital,
or dts(-ES) source is present, the MC-8
automatically selects the assigned
digital audio input connector.
– When an SACD source is present, the
MC-8 automatically selects the assigned
analog audio input connector.
• The AUTO setting is recommended for
components that generate both digital
and analog signals, such as DVD/SACD
players.
