[. . . ] MC-12 Software Version 1. 1 Release & Errata Notes DOCUMENTATION CONVENTIONS This document is a supplement to the MC-12 User Guide (Rev 1). It contains release notes that provide information about the new and enhanced features of Software Version 1. 1. Refer to the user guide for general safety, installation, and operating instructions. The following symbols are used in this document: CAUTION Calls attention to a procedure, practice, condition, or the like that, if not correctly performed or adhered to, could result in damage or destruction to part or all of the product. Note: SETUP Calls attention to information that is essential to highlight. INPUTS DVD1 NAME DVD1 INPUT NAME Represents a menu path. [. . . ] Press the STAT button a second time to access the second page of the menu. (If the STATUS menu does not include a second page, pressing the STAT button a second time will exit the menu. ) The 5. 1 BYPASS listening mode is now called the 5. 1a BYPASS listening mode. Likewise, the 5. 1 BYPASS STATUS menu is now called the 5. 1a BYPASS STATUS menu. Level meters are no longer available on the 5. 1a BYPASS STATUS and 2CH BYPASS STATUS menus. An alphabetical glossary of listening mode parameters begins in the next column and on page 5-20 of the MC-12 User Guide in the next column. An alphabetical glossary of all listening mode parameters begins on page 5-20 of the MC-12 User Guide (Rev 1). The 2. 0 ENCODING parameter has been added to the DOLBY D STATUS menu. When the parameter value is MATRIX, matrix-encoding is present in the input signal. When the parameter value is NONE, no matrix-encoding is present in the input signal. BIT RATE (32 to 3072kbps) The BIT RATE parameter has been added to the DOLBY D and dts(-ES) STATUS menus. A higher bit rate indicates that less compression was used during the encoding process. CENTER MIX LVL (-3. 0dB, -4. 5dB, -6. 0dB) The CENTER MIX LVL parameter has been added to the DOLBY D STATUS menu. It indicates the relative level of the center channel that was used during the mixing process. DIALOG OFFSET (-31 to 0dB) Note: Remote control MENU arrows can be used to scroll listening mode STATUS menu parameters when the MAIN command bank is active. STATUS menu parameters are not adjustable. The DIALOG OFFSET parameter has been added to the DOLBY D STATUS menu. It 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 OFFSET parameter indicates the amount of adjustment the unit makes to normalize dialog to -31dBFS. . New Listening Mode Parameters continues on page 12 11 Software Version 1. 1 Release & Errata Notes New Listening Mode Parameters (continued from page 11) ES DECODING (AUTO, ON, OFF) MIX ROOM Lexicon (SMALL, LARGE) The ES DECODING parameter has been added to the dts(-ES) L7 FILM, dts(-ES) L7 MUSIC, dts(-ES) THX, dts(-ES), and dts(-ES) 2-CHAN listening mode menus. When set to AUTO, the unit engages ES decoding for flagged dts-ES input sources. When set to ON, the unit forces ES decoding for all dts input sources. When set to OFF, the unit does not engage ES decoding for any dts input sources. The MIX ROOM parameter has been added to the DOLBY D STATUS menu. When the parameter value is LARGE, it is recommended to set the RE-EQUALIZATION parameter for the selected listening mode to ON (if available). [. . . ] However, when the TRIGGER parameters on the TRIGGER SETUP menu are set to REMOTE ONLY, the corresponding TRIGGER OUTPUT will not be activated when the unit is powered on. Instead, this TRIGGER OUTPUT must be activated using the remote control commands described on page 2-12 of the MC-12 User Guide (Rev 1). The Mute button LED lights whenever mute is activated, either automatically or manually. For example, the unit will briefly activate mute when switching input sources or listening modes. [. . . ]
