Building a Theater - Defining Channels
To assign analog outputs to particular channels,
you must build a theater. A theater may occupy
as few as 2 channels or as many as 16. There are
over 90 options for theaters. Any channels left
over may be assigned to secondary multi-channel
theaters, 2 channel A/V zones, audio only zones,
mono zones or headphone zones. A physical
output can only be assigned to one theater or
zone.
To assign channel outputs, you must first build
a Theater or Zone. Theaters are multi-channel
systems. Zones are either 1 or 2 channel audio or
audio/video zones. Any theaters or zones created
appear to the right and are listed by their names
which you assign. By default, Astral 16 ships with
a 2 channel theater configured. To build your own,
delete this theater and create a new one.
Click EDIT, then DELETE. Click OK to confirm. You
will be returned to the Main Speakers page.
1. Create Theater
Select Theater in the drop down list and click
Create Theater to build your new theater. Theater
1 will appear to the right of the Create Theater
button. Click Configure to proceed.
2. Configure the theater
When in the Theater Configurator, you will be able
to define each layer of the speaker installation:
base, height and top layers.
A. Choose using the left and right arrows which
speaker combination you expect for the
layer amongst predefined options populated
automatically depending on the channels
decoding capability of the ISP version.
