The Cinema Rhapsody allows you to set the baud rate between
either 1200 Baud or 19,200 Baud. At 1200, the standard setting, the
unit will be able to be controlled by an infrared remote control. At
19,200, the IR remote control will no longer function. Also, the OSD
(On Screen Display) will also no longer function (see section below
on how to engage OSD at 19200). This is an important aspect when
determining which baud rate to use. While the 1200 Baud rate is
ideal when controlling via IR, if you are only controlling the Cinema
Rhapsody via an RS-232 control system or RF ADA remote control,
you will want to change the unit’s baud rate to 19200. This will
provide you with greater speed on both control signals and feed-
back strings.
1
While in the Pro Setup mode, turn the MODE knob until the
display reads NETWORK BAUD and then press the
MODE knob. The display will read INPUT NAME on the
top line and the second line will read 1200 8,N,1 (where
1200 is the Baud rate, 8 is the number of data bits, N
refers to No Parity, and 1 is the number of stop bits).
2
Turn the MODE knob to alter between the 1200 and 19200
baud settings. Even though the top line of the display
reads an Input Name, note that setting the baud rate once,
will affect all inputs.
3
To exit the NETWORK BAUD Setup Mode without leaving
the Pro Setup Mode, press the MODE knob. If you wish
to exit the Setup Mode completely, turn any of the knobs
other than MODE or INPUT.
OSD at 19200
After you have set the baud rate to 19200, you have yet one more
option that can be engaged regarding the unit’s On Screen Display.
If you are not using the composite video output with OSD, then you
can skip this step. However, if you are using the unit’s OSD and
have engaged the 19200 baud rate, then you will need to:
1
Unplug the AC power of the Cinema Rhapsody and remove
the cover screws. Once all the screws are removed, lift
the cover off of the unit and place it to the side.
2
When looking at the open Cinema Rhapsody from the front,
located the front circuit board labeled attached to the bot-
tom of the chassis. Slightly to the right of the first socket
micro and below the second, is a small switch that deter-
mines which baud rate mode the OSD is set to.
3
To set the OSD to operate at the 19200 baud rate, set this
switch to the back of the unit (DIP switch ON position). To
set it to 1200 baud, move it forward.
Pro Setup - Network Baud
The Cinema Rhapsody has the
ability to increase its baud
rate from 1200 to 19200.
When the unit is controlled
from an infrared remote
control, you must use the
factory default of 1200 baud.
However, when controlling
this unit via either an RS-232
based control system or
wireless RF ADA remote
control, you will want to
increase the baud rate to
19200.
