ABOUT THE ZONES
The MC-12HD features three zones of operation: the Main Zone,
Zone 2, and the Record Zone. The Main Zone controls audio and
video sources in the primary listening space. Zone 2 controls audio
sources in the secondary listening space. The Record Zone controls
audio and video sources sent to recording devices or to a third
listening space.
These zones have separate digital audio receivers and dedicated
analog source selectors that allow for independent input selection
in each zone. The MC-12HD can process input sources in three
zones at the same time. For example, the MC-12HD can play a DVD
in the Main Zone, while playing a CD in Zone 2, while sending
satellite receiver signals to a VCR in the Record Zone.
The following are exceptions to independent zone operation:
1. When a Dolby Digital or DTS(-ES) source is present in the Main
Zone, the same Dolby Digital or DTS(-ES) source can also be
present in Zone 2 or the Record Zone. However, a different
Dolby Digital or DTS(-ES) source cannot be present in Zone 2 or
the Record Zone.
2. Main Zone multi-channel audio can be down-mixed in Zone 2 or
the Record Zone when all of the following conditions are met:
•
A Dolby Digital or DTS(-ES) source is present in the Main
Zone.
•
The Main Zone input is also selected in Zone 2 or the
Record Zone. For example, if the DVD1 input is selected in
the Main Zone, the DVD1 input must also be selected in
Zone 2 or the Record Zone.

Record Zone audio output connectors are not available during
5.1mc BYPASS listening mode. However, it is possible to have a
5.1-channel analog audio source present in the Main Zone and a
digital audio source present in Zone 2 or the Record Zone.
4. When an HDMI source is selected for digital audio input, the
down-mixed audio is available on the digital audio output in
the Record Zone at a maximum of 16 bits per sample and
48kHz. When the source on the HDMI connector is copy-
protected DVD-Audio, no digital audio is output, but analog
audio is still output.
TWO-LINE STATUS
The two-line status opens on the on-screen and front panel displays
whenever the MC-12HD detects a status change such as a new
input source or listening mode. The information included on the
two-line status differs depending on the zone in which the
MC-12HD last detected a status change.
MAIN ZONE TWO-LINE STATUS
Opens on the on-screen and front panel
displays whenever the Main Zone status
changes. The Main Zone two-line status
indicates the current input, listening mode, input source, and
volume level selected in the Main Zone.
