Add to a complex home theater
The player provides a simple way to add into most home theater systems, even if quite complex.
Identify the cables running to the amplifiers. Unplug them and plug them into the 8 channel
input on the player. Now run new cables from the player outputs to the amplifiers taking care
that each channel is looped through the player in the same order. Now find the video going to
the monitor or projector. Also loop it through the player. Now when the player is OFF, nothing
is changed in the system. It will work just as it did before except that the player becomes the
new master volume control for the system. The volume control for the system works if the
player is on or off. Play a CD in the player at a comfortable volume. Now play something in your
old system. Leave the volume the same on the player but adjust the old system level until the
two match. Now you will achieve the highest possible performance from your new player, with
no compromise to your existing system.
Enhanced Home Theater Design
One of the more powerful features of the MSB NETWORK is the ability to run 192k digital audio over great distances with low cost CAT-
5 cable with absolutely not performance degradation. This can be nicely applied in large home theaters. Rear channel as well as subwoofer
information can be sent to the rear of the home theater along with embedded volume information
all in one CAT-5 cable. (Actually all the channels are sent on the network, so any can be used).
It can go under the carpet or through the walls. It is a low cost cable and is available everywhere
as it is used to create Ethernet computer networks (LANs). At the rear of the theater, the cable
is plugged into the MSB Multiple Volume Control (MVC) with the internal DAC option operating
in the SLAVE mode. All channels are now available at the rear with full fidelity, and linked
directly to the players master volume control. This concept can also be applied to multi-room
ideas where the MVC is run in the Master mode, giving you complete control over the volume
in this second room.
