How to Operate in a Stand Alone System
The following information assumes the MSD4 is being
used with a McIntosh MC7205 amplifier, SL-1 Subwoofer,
MVS-3 Audio/Video Selector and a digital signal source
such as McIntosh MLD7020 Laser Video Disc Player, a
DVD Player or a Satellite Receiver. The MSD4 can be op-
erated manually or with an optional HR34/HR39/HR130
Remote Control.
FP Sensor
Set the FP SENSOR switch to ON.
NOTE: This will activate the MSD4s built in sensor for
receiving the remote control commands from the
optional HR34/HR39/HR130 remote control. Refer to
Figure 6 on the next page, for location of Rear Panel
Switches.
Late Night
The LATE NIGHT push-button turns a volume compres-
sion circuit on and off. This feature suppresses loud sounds
or music that might disturb neighbors or others not in the
immediate area of the home theater. Soft levels are also
raised slightly so they are still listenable at reduced overall
volume levels.This works only on an Dolby Digital sound
tracks with encoded data that supports the compression
function.
Re-EQ + TM
Re-EQualization
TM
compensates for the bright sound re-
quired in theaters that is not needed in a home theater sys-
tem. TM or Timbre Matching
TM
makes the movement of
sounds around the listening room much more natural and
realistic by compensating for how the human ear hears
sounds from the sides compared to sounds heard from the
front.
Channel Status LEDs
If the signal source contains a Dolby Digital sound track,
the MSD4 switches to Dolby Digital mode. The front panel
CHANNEL STATUS LEDs L, C, R, LFE, LS and RS will
turn on in accordance to the channels that are present on
the Dolby Digital sound track.
If the signal source contains DTS encoded signals,
theMSD4 switches to DTS mode. The front panel CHAN-
NEL STATUS LEDs L, C, R, LFE, LS and RS will turn on
in accordance to the channels that are present on the DTS
sound track.
If the signal source contains only a Dolby Pro Logic
sound track, the MSD4 switches to Pro Logic mode. The
front panel CHANNEL STATUS LEDs L, R, and S will
turn on.
Front Speakers (Small-Large)
When the front left and right speakers cover the full fre-
quency range down to 20Hz, set the switch to LARGE.
When the front speakers cover the frequency range only
down to 80Hz, set the switch to SMALL. A built-in elec-
tronic crossover will remove frequencies of 80Hz and
lower from the front left and right speakers and redirect
them to the Subwoofer speaker.
Center Speaker (None-Small-Large)
When the center speaker covers the full frequency range
down to 20Hz, set the switch to LARGE.
When the Center speaker covers the frequency range
only down to 80Hz, set the switch to SMALL. A built-in
electronic crossover will remove frequencies of 80Hz and
lower from the Center speaker and redirect them to the
Subwoofer speaker.
When there is no center speaker in the system, set the
switch to NONE. The Center channel signal is sent to the
left and right front speakers. This mode of operation results
in the listeners perceiving a Phantom center speaker.
Surround Speakers (Small-Large)
When the surround speakers cover the full frequency range
down to 20Hz, set the switch to LARGE.
When the surround speakers cover the frequency range
only down to 80Hz, set the switch to SMALL. The built-in
electronic crossover will remove frequencies of 80Hz and
lower from the surround speakers and redirect them to the
subwoofer speaker.
Note: For the best reproduction of DTS sound tracks, use full
frequency range loudspeakers in front and surround
locations in addition to a subwoofer. Place Front,
Center and Surround Speaker Settings switches to the
Large position and the Subwoofer switch to On.
