require that the second key entry (in this case,
Inp 1, Inp 2
or
Inp 3
) follow the first key
press (in this case,
Analog
) within a time-out period of two seconds.
By default, TheaterMaster’s analog inputs accept voltages up to 2 Volts rms without clipping.
If you are experiencing distortion on loud passages, this may mean that your analog source
voltage exceeds the industry-standard 2 Volts rms.* If you cannot easily turn down the volume
of your analog source, you can program TheaterMaster to attenuate this analog input by -6 dB,
so that it will accept up to 4 Volts rms without clipping.
This is accomplished by pressing
Analog Input Gain – -6dB
on page 2 of the remote con-
trol’s
Setup 2
device (press the
Analog Input Gain
button, and within two seconds, press the
-6dB
button). The Analog Input Attenuation Screen (see figure, page 16) will display
momentarily, confirming your selection. This attenuation is stored permanently, input by
input, until it is over-written by pressing
Analog Input Gain – 0dB
while in a chosen ana-
log input.
Only perform this attenuation if it is needed.
*
The TheaterMaster Signature is equipped with a special analog input clipping indicator. On the TheaterMaster
Signature, clipping is indicated on the Main display screen by an asterisk “
*
” appearing next to the analog input. If
this asterisk appears frequently, it means that the selected analog input should be attenuated by -6 dB by pressing
Analog Input Gain – -6dB
,
as described above.
At any time, you can review which analog inputs have been set to -6 dB attenuation. To do
this, bring up the Analog Input Attenuation Screen by repeatedly pressing the
DISP
▼
button
on page 4 of the remote’s
TheaterMaster
device (see page 16).
D. Selecting a tape/monitor or 2
nd
audio zone input:
Choosing a digital source for your DAT recorder, recordable CD, or equalizer/signal pro-
cessor attached to the TheaterMaster’s digital Tape/Mon output is accomplished by pressing
Tape/Mon. - Inp 1, Inp 2, Inp 3, Inp 4, Inp 5
or
Inp 6
. In addition, for the
Signature,
selecting an analog source for your analog tape deck or VCR connected to the analog
Tape/Mon outputs is accomplished by pressing
Tape/Mon. - Analog- Inp 1, Inp 2, Inp 3,
Inp 4, Inp 5
or
Inp 6
. A Tape/Mon source can be the same source selected as the main pro-
gram material, or it can be different, making it possible to tape one program (indeed
two
programs—one analog and one digital) while listening to a third.
E. Selecting a video input:
Once your Audio/Video (A/V) links have been programmed (See Chapter III: “F. Programming
Audio/Video links”, video inputs are selected automatically whenever audio inputs are
selected. However, video inputs can also be switched “manually”.
For composite video inputs, this is accomplished by pressing
Video - Inp 1, Inp 2
or
Inp 3
(
Inp 4, Inp 5
or
Inp 6
,
Signature
only)* in page 4 of the remote’s
Setup 1
device. For S-video
inputs, it is accomplished by pressing
Video - Inp 1-Inp 1, Inp 2-Inp 2,
or
Inp 3-Inp 3
(
Inp
4-Inp 4, Inp 5-Inp 5,
or
Inp 6-Inp 6
,
Signature
only). (I.e., pressing
Video
and then
double-
clicking
Inp 1, Inp 2, etc.
is the technique for selecting S-video inputs.)
To view composite video sources, you will need to select “composite” on your projector/TV
monitor.* To view S-video sources, you will need to select “S-video” on your projector/TV
monitor. Refer to your projector/TV monitor for instructions.
