Remote Power Jacks
The REMOTE POWER jack and three MAIN POWER jacks on the rear panel can be programmed to output 12V,
either straight DC or as a PULSE . This feature is used to automatically turn on other system components such as
power amplifiers, etc, when the Casablanca is taken out of Standby.
From the first
SETUP / GLOBAL page, press button # 3 to access the
REMOTE POWER sub menu shown in figure 96.
Use button # 1 to indicate whether the output of the remote power jack
should be 12VDC (
DC
) or a 12V pulse (
PULSE
). The specification
sheet for the device connected to the remote power jack should contain
information as to which type of signal it requires, and if it is a pulse, the
minimum pulse duration.
Buttons 2 , 3 and 4 have exactly the same functionality as button 1 ,
except that they apply for the three MAIN POWER jacks on the rear
panel.
Figure 96 - Video Display of the
SETUP/GLOBAL/REMOTE POWER Sub Menu
The MAIN POWER 1 jack is activated immediately upon exiting the standby mode (pressing the front panel or the
hand held remote POWER button), the MAIN POWER 2 jack is activated X seconds after exiting standby and the
MAIN POWER 3 jack is activated
X
times 2 seconds after exiting standby.
X
represents the time, in seconds, that is
set by pressing button # 5 – MTIM , or Main [Delay] Time. This is useful for sequencing the turn on of high power
components such as amplifiers. Further to this, when the Casablanca II is put into standby, it can be set that all of the
MAIN POWER jacks turn off simultaneously or sequenced off in the opposite order as they were activated. This is
accomplished by setting SEQ (button # 6 ) to ON or OFF . By setting the SEQ parameter to ON , the user is activating
the power down sequencer.
If the type of output for any of the rear panel power jacks is set to PULSE , the duration (in milliseconds) of this pulse
can be set by the user, using the A-D button.
Please refer to page 67 for more detailed descriptions/instructions of the remote power jacks.
Press SETUP once to return to the first page of the SETUP/GLOBAL menu, or three times to return to the main
INPUT SELECT page.
Clear Balance (Temporary Settings Control)
Any changes in the BALANCE menus are, by default, temporary. That is to say that when an INPUT SELECT button
is pressed or the Casablanca II is powered down/put into standby, any changes will be reset to zero. This feature has
an override, which is set by pressing button #
4 in the first SETUP / GLOBAL page (figure 93 on page 94) and set to
OFF . When this parameter is set to OFF , changing inputs or powering down/going into standby will maintain all
BALANCE menu settings.
RS232
In the first SETUP / GLOBAL page, press button # 5 to access the RS232 sub menu shown in figure 97.
Press button #
1
(
BAUD
) and use the
LEVEL UP
/
DOWN
buttons to
select the Baud rate that matches that of the RS232 controller.
The Casablanca II can be set to automatically send changes to the
RS232 port. This can be done by selecting a “Status Level”, which
means if any Casablanca II parameter changes, that level's bytes will be
sent to the port. This is useful for monitoring master level, input and the
like when the user has access to both the Casablanca II and the touch-
panel controller, to keep them synchronized.
The RS232 protocol is available by request to Theta Digital, the dealer
or from Theta’s website at www.thetadigital.com.
