Nº40 Media Console Getting Started

While Reading the Manual...

The following brief introductionto the Nº40 Media Console

assumes that your installer has already programmed the system for

you. For complete information on using your Nº40 and customiz-

ing it to suit your individual preferences, please continue reading

this manual. We hope you will be able to do so while listening to

some outstanding music on your new system.

The controls you will use most often on your Nº40 Media Console

include: Input Select, Volume, Surround Mode, Profile, Zone, and

Preview.

Input Select

Turning the input select knob (or using the input select rocker

switch on the remote) cycles you forward or back through the list of

defined inputs. It does not require you to turn the knob endlessly

through a long list of connections you may not yet be using.

“Defined inputs” are ones that have been set up in the input menu.

Each input can be associated with one video connection and as

many as three audio connections.

Auto-migration

Multiple audio connections are supported for products like laserdisc

players that might require any of three different types of connec-

tion, depending on what disc is inserted into the player (for

example, AC-3 RF demodulator, digital, and analog). In such cases,

the Nº40 will automatically select the Dolby Digital (AC-3) signal if

it is available; if not, it will look for a digital PCM signal at the

appropriate connector; if there is no signal there, it will look to the

analog input you listed. No further interaction is required on your

part beyond selecting the appropriate input by name.

If multiple signals are present and you need to choose one, you can

use the direct command force migration to manually change the

source. This command must be added to the toolbar or set to one of

the “f” keys on the remote control.

Volume

Turning the volume knob (or using the volume rocker switch on

the remote) raises or lowers the volume of the system. Unlike other

systems, the Nº40 provides 0.1dB resolution from 0 to 20dB. There-

after, it provides 1dB resolution up to 8odB, providing a full 80 dB

of volume control.

This extraordinary resolution allows you to “dial in” precisely the

desired volume, for the most realistic reproduction. When listening

to music, for example, strive to play the music at the volume you

would experience it at a live concert, when sitting in the best seat in

the house. (This assumes your amplifiers and speakers are up to the

task)
