Signature 2.0
NOTE: To use the sources when they are connected as
shown in the chart on the previous page, press the button
name shown. The button names may not correspond
exactly to the type of source used for any input profile,
but you may rename the input source for the on-screen
display by following the instructions shown on page 27
of this manual.
3. Connect the video “Record Inputs” of your VCR to the
Composite or S-Video “Rec” Outputs .
4. Connect the audio “Record Inputs” of your VCR
and/or audio tape recorder to the
“Rec” Outputs
on
the rear of the 2.0. There is no problem in sending the
feed to both recorders and two recordings may be made
at one time from the same source.
5. Connect the Composite or S-Video “Main”
Outputs
to the matching Composite or S-Video input
on your TV monitor or projector.
6. Connect the AM and FM antennae supplied with the
2.0 to the proper antenna connections on the rear panel.
7. If a Signature Series audio power amplifier, or other
compatible amplifier, is being used, connect the power
trigger cable supplied with the 2.0 to the
Trigger
Output on the 2.0 and the amplifier’s compatible
Trigger Input.
8. Connect the
Audio Outputs
of the 2.0 to the inputs
of your five-channel power amplifier. Be certain that
channels are properly matched (e.g., connect left to left,
right to right, etc.) Connect the Sub Output to the
mono “line level” input of a powered subwoofer, or to
the audio input of the amplifier channel feeding a passive
subwoofer. Connect the audio amplifier to the speakers,
carefully following the instructions provided with the
speaker and amplifier, and ensure that polarity is
matched between the speaker and amplifier when
connections are made.
9. Install the batteries in the remote control, being careful
to observe the ( + ) and (
–
) polarity indicators on the
remote and the batteries.
10. Connect all devices, including the 2.0, to AC
power and turn everything on EXCEPT for the 2.0
and any audio amplifier not connected to the 2.0’s
triggered output.
11. Press the
Master Power Switch
on the 2.0 in until
it latches and is flush with the front panel. A green
standby LED will light, and the front panel Information
Display
will come on briefly to display the software
version installed in your unit and then a
Power Off
Standby
message will show briefly. The unit will then
go into the Standby mode.
• To use the On-Screen Menu System, make certain that
your TV or other video display device is turned on and
switch to the proper video input at this point.
12. To turn the 2.0 on, press either the front panel
Standby
button, the
Main On
button on the remote,
or any of the source buttons on the remote (e.g., TV ,
Vid 1 , Tuner , etc.). The front panel Information
Display
will illuminate, the amber standby LED will
go out and be replaced by blue illumination behind the
word “Signature” on the front panel. A message will
briefly appear in the on-screen display with the source,
surround mode and volume.
• If you are using a Signature Series amplifier or another
compatible amplifier connected to the Trigger
Output jack, it will receive a turn-on signal as soon
as the 2.0 is turned on. Note that with most amplifiers
there will be a short, intentional delay between the
turn-on signal and when the amplifier sends signals
to the speakers. This is a normal function designed to
prevent damage to your speakers.
• If you are using an amplifier not controlled by the 2.0’s
Trigger Output , turn it on at least 10 seconds
AFTER the 2.0 is turned on.
