3 IR RECEIVER
The IR receiver receives infrared commands from the MC-8 remote
control. There are three associated LEDs.
• The amber LED blinks when a remote control command is
received.
• The red LED lights when the A/D converters are overloading.
• The blue LED lights when the MC-8 is powered on and
activated – even if the FRONT PANEL DISPLAY menu STATUS
parameter is set to ALWAYS OFF.
4 VOLUME KNOB
Use the volume knob to adjust volume level in the Main Zone or Zone 2.
To adjust the Main Zone volume level:
Rotate the volume knob clockwise to increase
or counterclockwise to decrease volume level
in 1dB increments. A horizontal bar graph
indicating the current Main Zone volume level is displayed in the
on-screen and front-panel displays. The Main Zone volume range is
–80 to +12dB.
To adjust the Zone 2 volume level:
1. Press and hold the front-panel Zone 2 input selection button
that corresponds with the current input source. For instance, if
the current input source is using the DVD1 input, press and
hold the DVD1 input selection button.
2. While holding the selected Zone 2 input
selection button, rotate the volume knob
clockwise to increase or counterclockwise
to decrease volume level in 1dB increments. The corresponding
horizontal graph shown here appears in the on-screen and front-
panel displays. This graph illustrates the position at which the
current Zone 2 volume level falls within the –80 to +12dB
volume range.
3. Release the selected Zone 2 input selection button when Zone 2
volume level has been set.
Note:
Remote control input selection buttons cannot be used to select Zone 2
