ZONE2 & RECORD IN Parameter Settings
The MC-12 sends the assigned digital
audio input connector to the Zone 2 or
Record Zone audio output connectors.
The MC-12 ignores the assigned analog
audio input connector. Independent
zone monitoring is available.
Note the following:
The MC-12 passes digital sources
to all Zone 2 or Record Zone
audio output connectors.
The MC-12 passes digital input
signals directly to the Record Zone
digital audio output connectors.
The MC-12 sends digital input
signals through D/A conversion
before passing them to the Zone 2
or Record Zone analog audio
output connectors.
The MC-12 automatically sets the
ZONE2 or RECORD IN 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-12 sends the assigned analog
audio input connector to the Zone 2 or
Record Zone audio output connectors.
The MC-12 ignores the assigned digital
audio input connector. Independent
zone monitoring is available.
Note the following:
The MC-12 passes analog sources
to all Zone 2 or Record Zone
audio output connectors.
The MC-12 passes analog input
signals directly to the Zone 2 or
Record Zone analog audio output
connectors. The MC-12 sends
analog input signals through A/D
conversion before passing them
to the Record Zone digital audio
output connectors.
The MC-12 automatically sets the
ZONE2 or RECORD IN parameter
to ANLG 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-12 sends a downmixed version of Main Zone audio to the Zone 2
or Record Zone audio output connectors. Independent zone monitoring is
not available. Downmixing is available when all of the following conditions
are met:
The same input must be selected in the Main Zone and Zone 2 or in
the Main Zone and the Record Zone. Otherwise, the Zone 2 or Record
Zone audio output connectors will mute.
A Dolby Digital or dts(-ES) source must be present.
The 5.1a BYPASS listening mode must not be activated.
Note the following:
Output signals from the Main Zone audio output connectors labeled
Front L/R are sent to Zone 2. Signals from other Main Zone audio
output connectors are ignored.
Main Zone listening mode activation affects the Zone 2 and Record
Zone audio output connectors. For instance, when the MONO listening
mode is activated, the Zone 2 and Record Zone audio output connectors
will generate mono output signals.
It is recommended to set the ZONE2 and RECORD IN parameters to
DMIX when recording from a DVD player without built-in Dolby Digital
or dts-ES decoding to a VCR or PVR (i.e. Tivo® or Replay TV®).
The MC-12 automatically uses LOGIC7 encoding to downmix multi-
channel sources (except 5.1-channel analog sources) to LOGIC7-
encoded stereo output signals for listening and recording. LOGIC7-
encoded downmixes are compatible with matrix decoders, but will
sound best when played back through a LOGIC7 listening mode.
