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)
