Note : The rear panel Remote IR Extender jack requires an electrical signal that is NOT encapsulated with a
modulator. See Appendix D for full details.
Using Generation VIII as an External DAC
A single or multiple Generation VIIIs can be used as external DACs with Theta Casablanca’s and/or Casa Nova’s
which are equipped with a Digital Output card. The Digital Out cards of both processors and the Generation VIII
have External Volume Data jacks, which would be connected together. This allows the Master Volume control of
the processor to control the volume of the Generation VIII(s), thus synchronizing the volume level adjustments of
all channels.
The Generation VIII, to respond to the volume data for its assigned channels, must be set up.
This setting is accomplished in the “ Ext Vol Sig Channels ” menu, shown in Figure 16.

None setting. Otherwise the
