III. Setup Preliminaries: System Configuration
Setup procedures only need to be performed once. The settings are stored in non-volatile
EEPROM memory, and are preserved even during AC power shut-down. Settings can be
updated at any time by repeating any portion of the setup procedure.
The following setup procedures are performed mainly with the remote control’s Setup 1
and Setup 2 devices. Turn on the remote by pressing any of the rubber buttons. Main
Menu should appear. If it does not, press the device header (between the “M” and
i
but-
tons. There are two pages of Main Menu. Use the large arrow buttons on the LCD to select
one page or the other.
Turn your power amplifiers off.* Switch on AC power to the TheaterMaster using the rear
panel AC power switch. The TheaterMaster’s front-panel LCD display will illuminate
momentarily, and then dim as it enters standby.** Switch your power amplifiers back on.
*The TheaterMaster is extremely well-behaved during AC power-up and power-down. Nevertheless,
to prevent the possibility of turn-on transients that could damage your speakers, it is good practice to
power down your amplifiers and/or powered sub-woofers before powering up or powering down your
TheaterMaster, pre-amplifier, or similar components connected to your power amplifiers.
**Be careful not to press the TheaterMaster’s front-panel Power/Mute switch until the front panel
display goes dim. Doing so will put the TheaterMaster into its special IR Leaning mode, which is
used for reprogramming 3
rd
-party remote control systems (see Chapter IX: “IR Learning
Remotes”). If this happens, switch off AC power, and start over.
