Introduction The MC-1 can be thought of as four units in one. At its heart is a reference-quality 8-channel music and film digital audio computer capable of creating or recreating a limitless amount of listening environ- ments. This digital audio computer is mated to an 8-channel, 24-bit Digital-to-Analog converter that rivals the most exotic and costly stand- alone devices. To harness all of this digital audio power, the MC-1 also includes a built-in line-level preamplifier with 8 analog audio

Installation Lexicon Connection Location Considerations The MC-1 is a highly specialized signal processing computer and requires special care during installation to ensure optimum perfor- mance. The MC-1 may be installed on a shelf or in a standard 19" equipment rack, using an optional rack-mount kit available from Lexicon dealers. Observe the following precautions: • Select a dry, well-ventilated location out of direct sunlight. • Do not stack the MC-1 directly above heat-producing equipment su

MC-1 Digital Controller Installation Wiring Considerations Audio/Video Cables There is debate over the audible effects of different types of intercon- nects. Good engineering practices have minimized the effect that cables might have on the inputs and outputs of the MC-1 — but feel free to evaluate different interconnects in your system. Be conscious, however, of the mechanical stress from repeated insertion and overly tight connectors, and the possibly corrosive nature of some contact- enhanci

MC-1 Digital Controller Installation Video Connections The MC-1 has eight composite and S-Video inputs. Connection to an S- Video input will override the composite signal connected via the RCA- type connector. Note that an S-Video input will be output on both the composite and S-Video outputs. Composite input signals will not be output as S-Video. You can assign any video source to any (or all) of the eight MC-1 inputs via the Input Configuration submenu of the Setup menu. This can be very usefu

Installation Lexicon NOTE: Whenever playback of a 24/96 disc is desired, press 2-CH while holding down the Shift button on the remote control. If you are using SMALL loudspeakers, these inputs will send a full frequency response signal to the outputs, completely bypassing the internal crossovers. Do not use this input with Dolby Digital or DTS signals. Whenever playback of non-24/96 discs is desired, select the regular input on the MC-1 remote control or front panel.

System 2 MC-1 Digital Controller Configuration System Configuration Restore Factory Defaults Although the MC-1 memory is cleared before it leaves the factory, it is good practice to restore the factory defaults with the following procedure before system configuration. Turn the MC-1 OFF with the remote control. Turn the unit back ON and immediately press and hold the MUTE button on the remote. (Make sure you do not block the infrared receiver on the MC-1 front panel.) The display will read: FACTO
