Default Mode
Each INPUT SELECT button can have a different default MODE assigned to it. To assign a default MODE
for a given INPUT SELECT button, first press the applicable INPUT SELECT button, SETUP , INPUT then
button # 4 ( MODE ). Use the LEVEL UP/DOWN buttons to edit this parameter and select the desired default
MODE . Press SETUP twice to exit. Repeat this procedure for each INPUT SELECT button.
Note : Pressing the front panel MODE function button allows the user to audition different modes for a given
source, when applicable, however changing modes via the MODE button does not store a mode selection.
Six Shooter
The Six Shooter is an external device that allows the 6 analog output channels of an SACD or DVDA player
to integrate with the Casablanca III HD. There are 3 inputs and one output on the Six Shooter. The first two
inputs are designed to receive SACD or DVDA signals. The third input receives the first 6 output channels of
the Casablanca III HD. The outputs of the Six Shooter are connected to the amplifier inputs.
The first two-channels of the Six Shooter contain volume controls. The volume for these two inputs is
controlled by the Casablanca III HD.
When the Six shooter is used, the user first selects the appropriate INPUT SELECT button on the
Casablanca III HD, then press SETUP\INP\A-D\A-D\6SHOT . Using the LEVEL UP\DOWN buttons, select
which Six Shooter input will be used. For all other INPUT SELECT buttons on the Casablanca III HD, set
this parameter to 3 so that the incoming signal is routed from the first 6 outputs of the Casablanca III HD into
Input # 3 of the Six Shooter (which is a bypass) and then directed to the amplifiers.
Please refer to Appendix B for a Six Shooter wiring diagram.
Displaying Mode Change Messages
As discussed in the
MODE section of this manual, when the Casablanca III HD receives a Dolby Digital or
DTS signal on the currently selected input and the MODE is different from the incoming signal, a message
will briefly appear on the VFD stating that the Casablanca III HD has received a certain format and is
temporarily changing the
MODE . This message is turned off by default but can be turned on. Pressing
button # 2 and changing the value to ON achieves this.
Note : If the default MODE is DOLBY DIGITAL or DTS and a 96K signal is received, the Casablanca III HD
will momentarily display a message (if the MSG parameter is set to ON ) indicating that it is receiving a 96K
signal and [temporarily] changing the mode to STEREO . The user can then change this mode by using the
front panel MODE button and selecting a different and applicable MODE .

The Casablanca III HD’s display brightness will automatically dim to ¼ if no button has been pressed for X
minutes. The value set in the DTIM (Display Time) parameter under button # 4 of the SETUP/GLOBAL
page 2 menu.
