[. . . ] C O R P O R A T I O N Casablanca Owner's Manual Digital Done Right TM PREFACE CONGRATULATIONS You have just acquired the most advanced component for the control and processing of audio and video ever to have been developed. IMPORTANT Save all packaging in a dry place away from fire hazards. Your Casablanca is a precision electronic instrument and should be properly packaged any time shipment is made. In the unlikely event that you have to return your Casablanca to the factory for service, or if you send it to us for updating, the original packaging will best protect the unit from shipping damage. In order to achieve the fullest flexibility and enjoyment from your Casablanca, we at Theta recommend that you read this manual in full before connecting the unit to your audio/video system. WARNING United Stated law prohibits disposition of these commodities to Libya, Laos, North Korea, Cambodia or Cuba unless otherwise authorized by the United States.

AVAILABLE SETTINGS BUTTON 1 2 3 4 5 SPEAKER LEFT/RIGHT OFF FULL 40 50 60 80 CENTER PHTM** OFF FULL 40 50 60 80 SURROUND PHTM*** OFF FULL 40 50 60 80 SUBS 0 1 2* 3* 4* SUBS XOVER FULL Table 3 - Available configuration settings for each speaker 100 100 100 120 120 120 - The Left/Right (LT/RT), Center (CEN) and Surround (SUR) speakers can be individually set to respond to a full range audio signal or crossed over at a specified frequency and slope. If the setting for one or more of these speakers is not set to FULL (full range), PHTM (Phantom) or OFF (disabled), the setting for that speaker will be represented as two numbers separated by a dash. These two numbers indicate the crossover frequency followed by a value representing the slope. The slope can be adjusted in 6dB/octave increments, to a maximum of 24 dB/octave. This correlates to 4 possible slope settings: 6dB, 12dB, 18db and 24dB. These four settings are represented on the Casablanca as 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively. There are 5 applicable values for the first sub woofer (SUBS) configuration setting: 0, 1, 2*, 3* and 4*. These refer to the number of discrete sub woofer channels configured in the Casablanca. Note: If the source does not contain a discrete sub woofer or LFE channel, no signal will be routed to the SUB output unless one or more speakers are crossed over. If the source contains a discrete LFE channel and the SUBS are turned off (set to 0), the LFE signal will be routed to all other channels. 16 *If the system is configured with D/As for a maximum of 6 channels, this value will be limited to 0 or 1. If any subs are configured into the system (button 4 parameter value is greater than 0), the sub(s) can further be set to respond in one of two ways: 1) If any speaker is set to be crossed over, all frequencies below the set crossover frequency will be automatically routed to the sub woofer(s) (button 5 parameter value set to XOVER) and be added to any existing LFE. 2) Send a full range signal to the sub(s), and allow them to utilize their internal crossovers, if any. (button 5 parameter value set to FULL) **The phantom (PHTM) setting for the center speaker creates the illusion of having a center speaker when the listener is positioned equidistant from the front left and right speakers. There is, however, no substitute for a real center speaker as it creates a solid center image even when the listener is positioned off-axis. The phantom setting is most useful on video sources where a more prominent center image is desirable and no center speaker is present. On music sources, OFF may be the preferred setting as it maintains the original source's imaging properties. ***The phantom (PHTM) setting for the surround speakers should be utilized when no surround speakers are present in the system. In this case, with 5. 1 sources, the surround information is added to the front channels. In Dolby Pro Logic mode, the Casablanca will automatically decode in Dolby 3 stereo. With all other sources, this setting prevents the surround channels from being created.
