Title: connecting MC26 to my audio system
Post by: billF on April 06, 2020, 01:16:50 am

I've been building my multi channel JRiver server for a couple of months on my iMac desktop computer.  Playback works easily (in stereo).  Now I have set up my laptop with mc26 and transferred my library.  It works on my laptop but when I connect via HDMI to an input of my pre-pro the screen on the laptop zooms in about triple in size and the tv screen image shows also triple in size.  If I unplug the hdmi from my macbook the macbook's screen returns to normal size.

Any clues as to how I can connect to my audio system for normal playback?  I can't find any clues (actually to anything) searching the Wiki.

Thanks,  Bill F.

That's interesting, simply connecting the HDMI port to the amp (no video capabilities I presume?) make MC's window change size?
