G. Twelve-Volt Trigger:

Some  video  screens  can  be  raised  or  lowered,  and  some  amplifiers  turned  on  and  off,
remotely using a 12-volt control signal. TheaterMaster has a switched 12-Volt screen con-
trol output for this purpose. To use this feature, connect your video screen remote control
line  to  the  jack  labeled  “Screen”  on  the  TheaterMaster  rear  panel.  To  toggle  the  12-volt
trigger on  or off, press the octagonal icon with the double-ended arrow, on page 1 of the

H. Taping a source:

Digital recording of digital sources:

To  facilitate  digital  recording  of  a  digital  source,  TheaterMaster  is  equipped  with  a  digital
tape/monitor  output.  This  digital  “Tape/Mon”  output  can  be  used  to  tape  a  source  which
can be different from the main, selected program material. 

Connect your digital recording device’s (i.e., DAT player or recordable CD) digital input to
the TheaterMaster’s digital Tape/Mon output. Select any desired digital input for recording
by pressing

again at any time will cause the currently-selected Tape/Mon input to flash up

on the Main Screen.

Analog recording of analog sources 

(Encore and Ovation):

To  make  analog  recordings  of  analog  sources,  connect  the  source’s  analog  audio  outputs
directly to the recording device (analog tape deck or VCR). The Encore and Ovation do not
provide separate Tape/Mon switching for analog sources.

Analog recording of analog sources 

(Signature):

To facilitate recording of an analog source, TheaterMaster 

Signature 

is equipped with analog

tape/monitor outputs. These analog “Tape/Mon” outputs can be used to tape a source which
can be different from the main, selected program material. 

Connect your analog recording device’s (i.e., tape deck or VCR) analog inputs to the The-
aterMaster’s analog Tape/Mon outputs. Select any desired analog input for taping by press-
ing 

Tape/Mon - Analog - Inp 1, Inp 2, Inp 3, Inp 4, Inp 5 

or

Inp 6

on  page  4  of  the
