MC-8 Setup
3-19
INPUT SELECT PARAMETER SETTINGS
DIGITAL ANALOG AUTO
The MC-8 sends the assigned digital audio
input connector to the Main Zone audio
output connectors. The MC-8 ignores the
assigned analog audio input connector.
Note the following:
• The digital audio input connectors
are compatible with PCM (44.1, 48,
88.2 and 96kHz), Dolby Digital and
DTS(-ES) sources. The digital audio
input connectors are not compatible
with MPEG or MP3 sources.
• The MC-8 automatically sets the
INPUT SELECT parameter to DIGITAL
when no analog audio input
connector is assigned.
•
The INPUT SETUP menu DIGITAL IN
parameter can be used to assign a
digital audio input connector for the
selected input.
The MC-8 sends the assigned analog audio
input connector to the Main Zone audio output
connectors. The MC-8 ignores the digital audio
input connector.
Note the following:
• The MC-8 automatically sets the INPUT
SELECT parameter to ANALOG when no
digital audio input connector is assigned.
• The INPUT SETUP menu ANALOG IN
parameter can be used to assign an analog
audio input connector for the selected
input.
The MC-8 toggles between sending the assigned
digital and analog audio output input connectors
to the Main Zone audio output connectors, based
on the input source that is present.
For example:
• When a 2-channel PCM, Dolby Digital or
DTS(-ES) source is present, the MC-8
automatically selects the assigned digital
audio input connector.
•When an SACD
TM
source is present, the
MC-8 automatically selects the assigned
analog audio input connector.
Note the following:
• The MC-8 automatically sets the INPUT
SELECT parameter to AUTO when both digital
and analog audio input connectors are
assigned.
• When no compatible digital source is
present, the MC-8 automatically selects the
assigned analog audio input connector.
• The AUTO setting is recommended for
components that generate both digital and
analog input signals, such as DVD/SACD
players.
