REMOTE CONTROL OPERATIONS
This section describes the functionality of the Casablanca II using the hand held remote only. For front panel
functionality descriptions, please refer to the section entitled
FRONT PANEL OPERATIONS on page 40. Be
sure to read the
Introduction to the User Interface
section on page 14. Descriptions for remote
buttons/functionality not covered in this section can be found in the preceding REMOTE CONTROL LAYOUT
section. Features and functional descriptions, which are common to both front panel and remote operations,
are covered in the
FRONT PANEL section only and therefore not repeated in this section.
Important Note : There is no OSD (On-Screen Display) when using the 15 pin Multi Format video output
jack. Therefore none of the on-screen menus shown in this section will be available. They will be shown
when using the Composite and/or S-Video outputs only.
Input Select Menus
When the rear panel
MAIN POWER
switch is turned on, the Casablanca II identifies internal hardware and
software, then enters standby mode (The POWER LED turns on). Pressing the POWER button once will
result in the video monitor displaying a start-up routine and then the last accessed INPUT SELECT menu for
x
seconds, where
x
represents the time parameter value that is stored in the SETUP / INPUT page 1 / OSD sub
menu, TIME parameter. Figure 66 shows an example of this menu.
Changing Inputs and Input Select Pages
Pressing buttons 1 through 6 or SELECT UP/DOWN will select
a desired input, or audio source. An arrow will point to the
currently selected input. The input names shown in this figure
are for example only and will most likely differ from the user’s
set up. There are two
INPUT SELECT pages, giving the user a
total of 12 inputs to select from. Pressing the LEVEL
LEFT/RIGHT buttons will toggle between the two INPUT
SELECT menus.
Pressing the LEVEL UP/DOWN buttons will adjust the master
volume for all speakers. This value ranges from 0 to 73
(relative maximum) and will be shown as a horizontal bar graph
on the video monitor for approximately 1 second after the
button is released.

Auto-Search
The Casablanca II can automatically search for a signal on all rear panel input jacks that are assigned to the
currently selected input button. When this feature is enabled, the Casablanca II will search each input jack
assigned to the currently selected input and stop at the first digital signal that it finds. To enable Auto-Search,
press the
1 - 6 button of the currently selected input. (example – if Input Select 2 is the currently selected input,
press 2). A message will appear indicating that Auto-Search is on. To disable auto-search, press the A-D
button once. A message will appear on the display indicating that Auto-Search has been turned off. The
Auto-Search feature can be disabled – by input – in the
SETUP / INPUT / page 3 submenu.
Note : If the Casablanca II is not locked and is auto-searching for a signal, then any button is pressed, if
pressed quickly the Casablanca may not see that button press as it is busy auto-searching. In this unique
case, press and hold the button for 1-2 seconds. The Casablanca will then stop auto-searching and wait for
additional button presses. If no other button presses are made within 4-5 seconds, the Casablanca II will
start auto-searching again.
