Theta Digital Casablanca III, Owner'S Manual

Page: 53 / 130

If the Casablanca III detects a Dolby Digital 5.1 signal on the selected digital input jack, and the MODE is not
set to DOLBY DIGITAL , the Casablanca III will display the following message on both the VFD and video
monitor**:
**RECEIVING DOLBY DIGITAL SIGNAL**
CHANGING MODE TO DOLBY DIGITAL
and display DOLBY DIGITAL as the current mode. However, this is not stored and therefore approximately
2 seconds after the Casablanca III ceases to receive this signal (not locked), the MODE will revert back to
the default mode for that Input Select button. If the detected signal’s format is Dolby Digital 2.0, the same
auto detecting message will appear for a few seconds and the display will show
DOLBY PRO
LOGIC as the mode. Please refer to page 71 to turn on or off the Mode Change message.
DTS : (Optional) Selecting DTS will decode a Digital Theater Systems encoded signal according to the DTS
specification which consists of up to 5 plus 1 discrete channels of digital data for a total of 6 separate audio
channels. If any speakers are crossed over, their low pass signal will be routed to the applicable sub
channel(s) and be mixed with the LFE signal, if present.
If the Casablanca III detects a DTS signal on the selected digital input jack, and the
MODE is not set to DTS ,
the Casablanca III will display the following message on both the VFD and video monitor**:
**RECEIVING DTS SIGNAL**
CHANGING MODE TO DTS
and display DTS as the current mode. However, this is not stored and therefore approximately 2 seconds
after the Casablanca III ceases to receive this signal (not locked), the MODE will revert back to the previous
mode before detecting the DTS signal. Please refer to page 64 for additional DTS setup options, selectable
in the second page of the
SETUP / INPUT submenu.
**Note : The “auto-detecting” messages for Dolby Digital and DTS will not show, by default. There is a
parameter in the SETUP / GLOBAL page 2 submenu (page 71) that turns this feature on and off.
STEREO : Left and Right input signals are sent to the Left and Right front speakers, which if crossed over,
will produce a SUB channel.

Each of the 6 modes shown in figure 18 are described below.
Analog Direct ( ANLG DRCT ): This mode takes the selected analog input and routes it directly to the main
Left/Right outputs via the volume controls. Since there is no surround processing in Analog Direct, the sub
woofer, EQ, phantom center channel, and crossover effects are not available. Note: If these effects are
desired, use the
STEREO mode. The Analog Direct mode will route only an analog signal to the outputs.
Analog Matrix ( ANLG MATX ): The signal routing in this mode is the same as Analog Direct ( ANLG DRCT ),
(left & right analog input signals routed directly to the main outputs via the volume controls), and at the same
time, the input left and right signals are routed through an analog to digital converter in order to derive the
