3. IR Receiver & LEDs
Receives infrared commands from the MC-4 remote control.
There are three LEDs located in this area as shown below. 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-4 is powered
on and activated—even if the FRONT PANEL DISPLAY menu
STATUS parameter is ALWAYS OFF.
5. Mode & Buttons
Scroll to the previous and next available listening mode.
Scrolling occurs in the order shown on the MODE ADJUST
menu. Pressing the Mode button scrolls upward through
available listening modes and pressing the Mode button
scrolls downward through available listening modes. See
“Listening Mode Activation” on page 5-2 for more informa-
tion.
6. Mute Button
Mutes MC-4 volume level and restores MC-4 volume to its
original level. Pressing the mute button the first time lowers
volume level. The message MUTE ON displays on the
on-screen and front panel displays. Pressing the mute button
again restores MC-4 volume to its original level. See “Volume
Control Setup” on page 3-51 for information about using the
MUTE LEVEL parameter to set mute levels.
The amber mute button LED lights whenever mute is activated,
whether activated automatically or manually. For instance, the
MC-4 briefly activates mute when changing input sources or
listening modes.

4. Volume Knob
Adjusts volume level. Rotate the volume
knob clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease
volume level in 1dB increments. The horizontal bar graph
shown here appears in the on-screen and front panel displays.
This graph illustrates the position at which the current volume
level falls within the –80 to +12dB volume range.
Note:
When MC-4 output levels have been properly
calibrated, the +0dB volume level setting corresponds
to THX reference levels (75dB).
