12 Software Version 2.0 Release & Errata Notes Lexicon ZONE2 IN or RECORD IN (continued from page 11) ANLG (Analog) DIGITAL DMIX (Downmix) The assigned analog audio input connector is sent to the ZONE 2 or RECORD AUDIO OUTPUTS. The 5.1- channel analog input connector is not compatible with the ZONE 2 or RECORD AUDIO OUTPUTS. Audio is not available in Zone 2 or the Record Zone when the 5.1- channel analog input connector is selected for the Main Zone, unless the 5.1a BYPASS listening mode is also selected for the Main Zone. Analog input sources are sent to all three RECORD AUDIO OUTPUTS. Sources sent to the RECORD AUDIO OUTPUT labeled S/PDIF are sent through A/D conversion before reaching the output. Sources sent to the analog ZONE 2 or RECORD AUDIO OUTPUTS are not sent through A/D conversion. The assigned digital audio input connector is sent to the ZONE 2 or RECORD AUDIO OUTPUTS. The ZONE 2 AUDIO OUTPUTS will mute when an invalid digital audio input source is present. PCM input sources are the only valid digital input sources. Dolby Digital and dts(-es) are not valid digital input sources. Digital input sources are sent to all three RECORD AUDIO OUTPUTS at the same time. Sources sent to the analog ZONE 2 or RECORD AUDIO OUTPUTS are sent through D/A conversion before reaching the output. Sources sent to the RECORD AUDIO OUTPUT labeled S/PDIF are not sent through D/A conversion. A downmixed version of Main Zone audio is sent to the ZONE 2 or RECORD AUDIO OUTPUTS. Downmixes can be generated for Dolby Digital, dts(-es), and 5.1-channel analog input sources. To generate a downmix, the input that is selected in Zone 2 or the Record Zone must also be selected in the Main Zone. Otherwise, the ZONE 2 or RECORD AUDIO OUTPUTS will mute. Main Zone listening mode selection affects the ZONE 2 or RECORD AUDIO OUTPUTS. For example, when the MONO listening mode is selected in the Main Zone, Zone 2 or Record Zone output signals will also be mono. Downmixes cannot be generated when the 5.1a BYPASS listening mode is selected in the Main Zone. It is recommended to set the ZONE2 IN or RECORD IN parameter to DMIX when recording from a DVD player without built-in Dolby Digital or dts-es decoding to a VCR or PVR (e.g. Tivo or Replay TV ). Independent zone monitoring is not available. Note: When a multi-channel input source is present and the playback component includes the appropriate decoder, it is recommended to set the ZONE2 IN or RECORD IN parameter to ANLG for independent zone monitoring. When a multi-channel input source is present and the playback component does not include the appropriate decoder, it is required to set the ZONE2 IN or RECORD IN parameter to DMIX. When this setting is selected, independent zone monitoring is not available. CAUTION When the ZONE2 IN or RECORD IN parameter is set to DIGITAL or ANLG, the MC-12 recognizes some dts-encoded input sources as audio signals (not data signals) and outputs loud digital noise from the ZONE 2 or RECORD AUDIO OUTPUTS. 12

23 MC-12 Software Version 2.0 Release & Errata Notes STATUS MENUS SHIFT STAT STATUS menus provide information about the current input source and listening mode. Unlike most menus, STATUS menus cannot be accessed through the selection of menu options. Rather, the remote control SHIFT-STAT command sequence must be executed. This command sequence is described below. When this command sequence is executed, the STATUS menu that appears depends on whether a 2-channel, Dolby Digital, dts(-es), 5.1-channel analog, or unknown digital input source is present. If a 5.1-channel analog input source is present, the STATUS menu that appears also depends on whether the MAIN ADV menu ANALOG BYPASS parameter is set to ON or. To access and navigate the STATUS menu for the current input source: 1. Press the remote control SHIFT button to activate the SHIFT command bank. 4. Press the remote control MENU 5 and 6 arrows to scroll upward and downward through the complete list of parameters on the current page. The name of the highlighted parameter will appear on the front panel display. Note: STATUS menu parameters provide information about the current input source and listening mode. These parameters cannot be adjusted. STATUS MENU LEVEL METERS Most STATUS menus contain level meters that indicate fluctuating input levels in the front left (L), center (C), front right (R), surround left (SL), surround right (SR), surround back (SB), and LFE channels. Different combinations of level meters appear on each STATUS menu. The SB level meter will appear when a 6.1-channel input source is present, or when a 5.1-channel input source is present and the ES DECODING parameter is set to ON for the selected listening mode. 2. Press the remote control STAT button. The first page of the STATUS menu for the current input source will appear on the on-screen and front panel displays. All STATUS menus are shown on page 27. All level meters appear in combinations of green, yellow, and red when the on-screen display has a blue-screen background. Green indicates low input levels, yellow indicates normal input levels, and red indicates the onset of overload. 3. Press the STAT button again to access the second page of the STATUS menu. If the STATUS menu does not include a second page, pressing the STAT button a second time will exit the menu. If the STATUS menu does include a second page, press the STAT button a third time to exit the menu. 23

28 Software Version 2.0 Release & Errata Notes Lexicon LISTENING & STATUS MENU PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS This section contains additions and modifications to the listening mode and STATUS menu parameter descriptions that begin on page 5-20 of the MC-12 User Guide (Rev 1). v1.1 ENCODING (MATRIX, NONE) Indicates whether or not matrix encoding is present in the input signal. When the parameter value is MATRIX, matrix encoding is present in the input signal. When the parameter value is NONE, matrix encoding is not present in the input signal. v2.0 RT (0.2 x MID RT) to (2.0 x MID RT) Full Name: Low-frequency Reverberation Time Depends on the MID RT parameter setting, which depends on the SIZE parameter setting. The BASS RT parameter is expressed as a multiplier of the MID RT parameter. The BASS RT parameter should be set to 1.0 x the MID RT parameter setting for more natural effects in smaller spaces. CAUTION Setting the BASS RT or MID RT parameters to a high value might produce undesirable or damaging v1.1 RATE (32 to 3072kbps) Indicates the rate at which the input signal is encoded. A higher bit rate indicates that less compression was used during the encoding v2.0 DEPTH (0 to 18) Adjusts the amount of processing applied to the center channel, changing the perceived distance of the center speaker. Higher settings increase and lower settings decrease the perceived distance of the center v1.1 MIX LVL (-3.0dB, -4.5dB, -6.0dB) Indicates the relative level of the center channel that was used during the mixing v1.1 SET (-31 to 0dB) Indicates the dialog normalization value applied to the input signal. Dolby Digital input sources reproduce dialog at 31 decibels below full-scale (-31dBFS). When the dialog normalization value of the incoming signal is higher or lower, the DIALOG SET parameter indicates the amount of adjustment the MC-12 makes to normalize dialog to v2.0 LVL (-12dB to +6dB) Adjusts the amount of ambience or reverb mixed into all MAIN AUDIO v1.1 DECODING (AUTO, ON, ) Controls the dts-es decoding feature. When set to AUTO, the MC-12 engages dts-es decoding for flagged dts-es-encoded input sources. The MC-12 does not engage dts-es decoding for other dts input sources, including non-flagged dts-es-encoded input sources. When set to ON, the MC-12 engages dts-es decoding for all dts(-es) input sources. When set to, the MC-12 disengages dts-es decoding for all dts(-es) input sources. 28
