Indicators
The Front Panel
1. ON/OFF
ON/OFF alternately puts the
DC-1 into and out of standby.
Turning the DC-1 off with this
button (or with the remote)
deactivates the unit while
leaving power to the signal
processing circuitry to keep it
at optimum operating tem-
perature. Turning the DC-1
on with this button (or the
remote) will restore the previ-
ous operating state.
2. Input Selection
Pressing any of these but-
tons (VCR 1, VCR 2, V-DISC,
TV, AUX, CD, TUNER, TAPE)
selects the input for the main
zone, and lights a green LED.
6. MUTE
Attenuates the main audio
outputs, lights a red LED, and
displays a screen message
to indicate mute is engaged.
The attenuation level can be
set in the Setup: Output Lev-
els menu.
7. IR Receiver and LED
The IR receiver has an asso-
ciated activity LED that lights
green when valid IR signals
are received, and an LED that
lights red to indicate clipping
at the inputs. An IR input jack
is available on the rear panel
for receipt of hard-wired sig-
nals. The red activity LED re-
mains illuminated when the
unit is placed in standby.
8. Display
A 2x20 backlit LCD displays
the result of user action and
the current status. This dis-
play can be turned off with
the remote control.
9. VOLUME
Provides volume adjustment
of the main outputs. Screen
displays show a volume bar
and level in dB unless the
front panel display is turned
off with the remote control.

able effects.

fect, and lights the amber front
