The spaces below have been provided for you to record that information: General Notes 1. The MDA5000 Digital/Analog Converter Operation is fully Automatic and requires no selection or adjustment on the part of the user. When a CD that has been specially encoded with a High Definition Compatible Digital® Signal is received, the MDA5000 will automatically decode the additional information. For additional connection information, refer to the owner's manual(s) for any component(s) connected to the MDA5000 Digital/Analog Converter. The MDA5000 Digital/Analog Converter is designed to Automatically Switch Power On and Off with the rest of the Audio System. In order for the automatic power switching to function, there needs to be a connection between the Control Center and the Converter. An Automatic Digital Input Selector is built into the MDA5000 . It will accommodate up to three source devices with digital outputs to be connected to the converter. The MDA5000 can only decode one input source at a time. If the MDA5000 receives more than one digital signal simultaneously, the Automatic Digital Input Selector will not function properly.
