addendum will be included with this manual which describes all pertinent RS232 information, including values
contained within each Status Level.
If the RS232 option is installed but not being used, ensure that the Echo Status ( ECHOS ) parameter is set to OFF .
Other settings can slow the operation of the Casablanca II.
The RS232 protocol is available by request from Theta Digital, the dealer or from Theta’s website at
www.thetadigital.com.
RS232 Menu Password
If desired, access to the RS232 menus can be password protected. To set a password, press button # 3 and enter a
new password using the 1 - 6 buttons. As with all other passwords in the Casablanca II, using a 0 ( A-D button) will void
the password, making it as if there were none. Please refer to page 14 for additional information regarding setting
passwords.
When all settings are complete in this sub menu, press SETUP twice to return to the INPUT SELECT menu.
System Utilities
There are two ways to update the flash software in a Casablanca II. This menu provides access to updating the
Casablanca II’s flash software from the front panel only. For further information about updating the Casablanca II
software, please refer to Appendix D on page 109.
Note : This utility is not available on the OSD since it is a function of a sub-operating system.
Pressing the SETUP button three times returns the LCD to the current INPUT SELECT page.
Mute/Volume
This sub menu provides the user with a method of setting parameters with regards to volume and mute control. Press
SETUP , GLOBAL , then button # 6 ( MUTE/VOLUME ). This sub menu is shown in figure 56.

Initial Power-On Master Volume
Button # 1 ( INILVL , or Initial Level) allows the user to store an initial master volume setting that the Casablanca II will
default to when it comes out of standby.
Button # 2 allows for an override of button # 1 . If this parameter is set to INIT , the Casablanca II’s volume, when
coming out of standby, will be that which is set using button # 1 . If this parameter is set to LAST , the Casablanca II’s
master volume when coming out of standby will be the same as what it was when it was last put into standby.
FVOL and SVOL
When certain parameters are edited or the master volume changed, holding the LEVEL UP / DOWN button for more
than 5 steps will, by default, speed up the rate in which the value changes. This is referred to as Fast Mode . It is
possible to delay the speed of the fast mode in order to slow it down to the users preference. In FVOL (Fast Volume) a
delay of 0 will allow the Fast Mode to be its quickest (no delay), and a delay of 255 allows it to be its slowest.
The rate that the LEVEL UP / DOWN buttons respond during the first 5 steps is referred to as Slow Mode . SVOL allows
the user to slow down the increment changes during these first 5 steps (a higher delay time) or increase their speed
with a lower delay time setting. In
SVOL (Slow Volume) a delay of 0 will allow the Slow Mode to be its quickest, and a
delay of 255 allows it to be its slowest.
