AUTOANALOGDIGITAL
SETUP
MC-4
3-19
The MC-4 automatically sets the INPUT
SELECT parameter to DIGITAL when no
analog audio input connector is assigned.
• The MC-4 sends the assigned digital
audio input connector to the audio
output connectors. The MC-4 ignores
the assigned analog audio input
connector.
• The digital audio input connectors are
compatible with PCM (44.1kHz,
48kHz, 88.2kHz and 96kHz), Dolby
Digital and DTS(-ES) sources. If an
incompatible digital audio source
(e.g., MPEG or MP3) is present, the
MC-4 automatically selects the
assigned analog audio input
connector.
• The DIGITAL IN parameter assigns a
digital audio input connector for the
selected input.
The MC-4 automatically sets the INPUT
SELECT parameter to ANALOG when no
digital audio input connector is
assigned.
• The MC-4 sends the assigned analog
audio input connector to the audio
output connectors. The MC-4
ignores the assigned digital audio
input connector.
• The ANALOG IN parameter assigns
an analog audio input connector for
the selected input.
INPUT SELECT Parameter Settings
The table below describes INPUT SELECT parameter settings.
The MC-4 automatically sets the INPUT
SELECT parameter to AUTO when both
digital and analog audio input connectors
are assigned.
• The MC-4 sends either the assigned
digital and analog audio input connector
to the 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-4 automatically sends the
input source to the assigned digital
audio input connector.
– When an SACD™ source is present,
the MC-4 automatically sends the
input source to the assigned analog
audio input connector.
• The AUTO setting is recommended for
components that generate both digital
and analog signals, such as DVD/SACD
players.
