The third press of the INPUT
Push-button or the INTRO Push-
button will return to playing the
disc in the MCD500 and the Front
Panel Display will indicate Volume
Level. Refer to figure 37.

External Digital Input
The MCD500 internal D/A (Digital to Analog) Converter
may be used to decode a Digital Audio Signal from other
source components such as a Music Server or another Disc
Player. The MCD500 will decode a two channel PCM
Encoded Digital Signal into a two channel Analog Signal.
There is both a Coaxial and Optical Digital Input so two
Digital Source Components may be connected simultane-
ously and the MCD500 has electronic switching for selec-
tion of the desired music source.
The default Digital Input Selection is playback of a disc
in the MCD500. The Front Panel display will indicate the
Volume Level (0-100%) at the Variable Audio Outputs. Re
-
fer to figures 39 and 37. To select
the Coxial External Digital Input
press the INPUT Push-button on
the Front Panel or press the IN-
TRO Push-button on the MCD500
Remote Control. Refer to figure 39
or 41. The Front Panel Display will
now indicate “COAX” instead of
Volume Level. Refer to figure 38.
If the Volume Level is changed, ei-
ther using the Front Panel LEVEL
Control or the LEVEL Push-
buttons on the MCD500 Remote
Control the Front Panel Display
will momentarily indicate the new Volume Level Setting
and return to indicating the “COAX” Input.
In a similar manner, if the INPUT Push-button or the
INTRO Push-button is pressed a second time the MCD500
will switch to the Optical External Digital Input and will
decode the Digital Signal into Analog Sound. Refer to
figures 39, 41 and 40.
