The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. WARNING - TO REDUCE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS EQUIPMENT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL. To prevent the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover or back. No user-serviceable parts inside. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS! PLEASE READ THEM BEFORE OPERATING THIS EQUIPMENT. 1. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. [. . . ] Rotate the LISTEN (Select) Control until the Front Panel Alphanumeric Display indicates "D/A CTRL ON". Rotate the BALANCE (Menu) Control until the words "D/A INP1 ON" appears. When the Input Selector is rotated to select what was originally the AUX Input, DVD2 will now appear on the Front Panel Alphanumeric Display. Notes: 1. Unused Inputs may be switched Off so they will not appear when going through the input source choices using the LISTEN Control, RECORD Control or when using the Remote Control or Keypad. Refer to figure 25. Figure 22 In the following step the memory of C1000C will be updated to reflect the assigment of active Digital Inputs on the MDA1000. This will prevent having to go through unused inputs when changing the D/A Inputs by using either the C1000 Front Panel Controls or supplied Remote Controls. Rotate the LISTEN (Select) Control to select On or Off for "D/A INPut 1". Rotate the RECORD (Select) Control to select the next input, "D/A INput 2". Rotate the LISTEN (Select) Control to select On or Off for the next "D/A INPut 2". Repeat steps 6 and7 until all seven of the MDA1000 Input Assigments have been entered into the C1000 Memory. Rotate the BALANCE (Menu) Control until the words "PROG DP SUM" appears. The Alphanumeric Display will indicate the default Title for the Input number selected with a dot appearing to the right of the Title. The Input Titles choices available for the High Level Inputs start with DVD2, AUX2, TUN2, SVR2, CDR2, or CD2. The PHONO MM and PHONO MC Inputs Titles are fixed, however they may be switched On or Off. 10. Rotate the LISTEN (Select) Control to select the Digital Input of the MDA1000 that the MCD1000 is connected to. Press the SETUP Push-button twice to access the Setup Preamp Mode unless the C1000C is already in the Setup Preamp Mode. Rotate the BALANCE (Menu) Control until the Alphanumeric Display indicates "INPUT 3 TUN·" appears. Rotate the RECORD (Select) Control until the Display indicates "INPUT 2 AUX·". Press the SETUP Push-button to exit the Setup Controller Mode. Input Selection and Title Reassignment The C1000 has nine Audio Inputs, which includes seven high level inputs, two dedicated Phono Inputs and two external processor loops. These inputs already have assigned titles that will allow for immediate hookup, operation and enjoyment. When the C1000 Controller is connected to the C1000 Preamplifier and C1000 Tube Preamplifier the number of inputs double. If the default Input Titles for the High Level Inputs do not match up with components in your system they may be reassigned. [. . . ] The mass of the meter movement is too great to respond to the nearly instantaneous changes in music program material. That short interval information can have a duration less than as one-half of one thousandth of a second. Even if the 47 Technical Description, con't meter were capable of such high velocity movement, the human eye could not perceive the displayed information. By developing electronic circuits the Figure 103 meters are made to respond to short intervals with an accuracy of 95%! [. . . ]
