[. . . ] Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus, (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus. [. . . ] For a THX-certified speaker system, use the THX SETUP menu (see page 3-24).

When set to FULL, the unit sends a full-range audio signal to the FRONT L/R outputs. When set to a numerical crossover setting, the unit activates a crossover at the selected frequency. Choose the setting closest to the lowfrequency rating of the front left and right speakers. See pages 3-18 and 3-19 for more information about crossover settings. The CENTER parameter sets the crossover setting for the MAIN AUDIO OUTPUT labelled CENTER. When set to FULL, the unit sends a full-range audio signal to the CENTER output. When set to a numerical crossover setting, the unit activates a crossover at the selected frequency. Choose the setting closest to the lowfrequency rating of the center speaker. See pages 3-18 and 3-19 for more information about crossover settings. When set to NONE, the unit redirects center channel signals to the FRONT L/R outputs. 3-20 MC-12/MC-12 Balanced MAIN MENU MODE ADJUST AUDIO CONTROLS SETUP SETUP INPUTS SPEAKERS REAR PANEL CONFIG DISPLAYS VOLUME CONTROLS TRIGGERS LOCK OPTIONS SPEAKER SETUP CUSTOM SETUP THX SETUP SPEAKER DISTANCES LEVELS CALIBRATION R SR RR 80Hz 80Hz 80Hz The SETUP Menu CUSTOM SETUP FRONT L/R CENTER SIDE L/R REAR L/R SUB L/R SUB XOVER LFE 40Hz 60Hz 60Hz 60Hz MONO 40Hz OFF SIDE L/R SPEAKERS FULL 30Hz 40Hz 50Hz 60Hz 70Hz 80Hz THX 80Hz 90Hz 100Hz 110Hz 120Hz NONE REAR L/R SPEAKERS FULL 30Hz 40Hz 50Hz 60Hz 70Hz 80Hz THX 80Hz 90Hz 100Hz 110Hz 120Hz NONE C 80Hz M SUB 80Hz 80Hz L SL RL 80Hz 80Hz SIDE L/R (FULL, 30Hz to120Hz, THX 80Hz, NONE) REAR L/R (FULL, 30Hz to 120Hz, THX 80Hz, NONE) The SIDE L/R parameter sets the crossover setting for the MAIN AUDIO OUTPUTS labelled SIDE L/R. When set to FULL, the unit sends a full-range audio signal to the SIDE L/R outputs. When set to a numerical crossover setting, the unit activates a crossover at the selected frequency. Choose the setting closest to the lowfrequency rating of the side left and right speakers. See pages 3-18 and 3-19 for more information about crossover settings. When set to NONE, the unit redirects side channel signals to the REAR L/R outputs. When both the SIDE L/R and REAR L/R parameters are set to NONE, the unit redirects surround channel signals to the FRONT L/R outputs. The REAR L/R parameter sets the crossover setting for the MAIN AUDIO OUTPUTS labelled REAR L/R. When set to FULL, the unit sends a full-range audio signal to the REAR L/R outputs.
