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 MSD4’s 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 LED’s

If the signal source contains a Dolby Digital sound track,

the MSD4 switches to Dolby Digital mode. The front panel

CHANNEL STATUS LED’s 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 LED’s 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 LED’s 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.
