VIII. Customizing Your System: Storing Multiple Setups
A. Labeling your analog and digital inputs:
TheaterMaster allows you to label each analog and digital input with an up-to-3-character
label (e.g., “CD”, “DVD”, “VCR”, or “LD” for laserdisc). Thereafter, TheaterMaster’s
front-panel LCD will display these labels whenever that input is selected. This can be very
helpful in remembering what analog or digital source is connected to what input on the
TheaterMaster.
To assign a label to the currently selected analog or digital input, repeatedly press
↵ ↵
- CH- or
↵ ↵
- CH+ , on page 4 of the remote’s ThneaterMaster device, to scroll through the available
labels. Repeat this same procedure for your other analog and digital inputs, as desired.
The status of all the input labels are displayed in the Analog and Digital Input Designator
Screens, which are accessed by repeatedly pressing
DISP

on page 4 of the remote control’s
TheaterMaster device (see figure, page 18). Exit the Analog or Digital Input Designator
Screens by pressing the

B. Storing multiple setups
Many TheaterMaster users have different listening preferences for different types of program
material—e.g., stereophonic music vs. Dolby Digital 5.1-channel movie soundtracks. For
example, some owners with full-range, high-quality front stereo speakers choose to disable
the subwoofer during stereo music playback, but want to re-enable the subwoofer for movie
soundtracks. Some owners, who like to listen to music in Matrix mode, find their rear sur-
rounds (LS and RS) too loud for music if they have been setup for surround-sound playback
of Pro Logic soundtracks.
Fortunately, TheaterMaster is easily able to accommodate such diverse listening preferences.
TheaterMaster remembers up to
ten different setups. To take advantage of this great flexibil-
ity most easily:
1. Start with a known setup. For example, in Chapters III and IV, the TheaterMaster was
configured, and speakers balanced, for your system. You may recall that this setup was
stored in memory location #1 by pressing
STO - Mem 1
. Recall this setup now by press-
ing
RCL - Mem 1
on page 3 of the remote’s
TheaterMaster
device.
2. Make the desired adjustments to this setup. For example:
a) Raise or lower individual speaker volumes, as desired. This is best done in the Speaker
Adjustment Screen (see figure, page 16) while listening to program material. To access
the Speaker Adjustment Screen, press
Adjust
on page 2 of the remot’e
Setup 1
device.
(For more details, see Chapter IV: “C. Tweaking the system”.)
b) Disable or re-enable your LFE subwoofer, as desired, while in the same Speaker
Adjustment Screen, by pressing
SUB
followed by
CH-
or
CH+
, respectively. (For more
details, see Chapter III: “A. Disabling the LFE subwoofer”.)
c) Activate “Phantom” mode or “3Stereo” mode, if desired, by pressing CTR followed by
CH- or LS followed by CH+ , respectively, while in the Speaker Adjustment Screen.
(Phantom mode can yield excellent results with Pro Logic encoded music, especially in
systems with dubious-quality center speakers.)
