[. . . ] THETA DIGITAL C O R P O R A T I O N Casablanca II Owner's Manual V 2. 01 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 II 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 II 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 II, 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. NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. [. . . ] Press SETUP twice to return to the speaker configuration sub menu, then press button # 2 (CEN) to set up the center speaker. This submenu is shown in figure 30. 54 Center Speaker Configuration Figure 30 - Front Panel Display of the SETUP/INP/CONFIG/CENTER Sub Menu This submenu of settings is virtually the same as the one for the front left/right speakers, but applies only for the center speaker. All of the same guidelines and procedures apply except for the case where no center speaker is present and the destination to where the low pass signal (if the center speaker is crossed over) can be routed. In this case, the low pass signal from the crossed over center will be routed to the sub, if one sub exists or front subs if there are 2 in the front, when the CFG setting is set to XOVER or FUL/LP. This same low pass signal can alternately be routed to the front left/right speakers if the CFG setting is XOVRLR. If the center low pass signal is routed to the front left/right speakers, and these front speakers are crossed over, the low pass signal from the center stays routed to the front left/right speakers and the low pass signal from the front left/right will still be routed to the subs. If the #SUBS is set to 0 and the front left/right CFG is set to XOVER, the low pass signal of the front left/right will be lost since it has no where to go. This can be advantageous if the user wants to roll off the low pass signal to the front left/right speakers at a very low frequency. Routing the center low pass to the front left/right speakers can be useful with center speakers that have a very limited bass response (-3dB @ 100Hz). In this case, the recommended crossover frequency should be set to 160Hz. If no center speaker is present in the system, the CFG parameter should be set to PHANTM (phantom). With this setting, the signal for the center channel is routed to the front left/right speakers. When the center CFG is set to PHANTM, the user has the ability to adjust the phantom center level in the front left/right speakers. This can be accomplished via button # 6 ­ PHLVL, or phantom level. Note: 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. Pressing button # 1 allows the configuration of the center speaker. If this speaker is not to be crossed over, or any of its signal sent to the SUB output, then the CFG should be set to FULL. There is an option where the full range signal can be routed to the center speaker with the low pass part of it also routed to the sub (FUL/LP) or the high pass signal going to the center and its crossed over low pass portion being routed to the front left/right speakers as discussed above (XOVRLR). Whenever any speaker is crossed over, a crossover type must be selected, and the appropriate crossover frequencies and slopes set up.
