Menu System Mark Levinson
We also specify video input connectors verbally by a simple “slot &
connector” system. The slot numbers are engraved along the edge
of the top cover of each processor, and the connectors are
numbered from top to bottom on each card. Thus “slot 3,
connector 1” is the first connector down on the card sitting in the
third slot from the left, as seen from the rear of the unit.
To specify the particular connector(s) you wish associated with an
input:
1. Select the video menu item.
2. Press enter (or right arrow, on the remote) to define or edit the
video input.
A graphic of the rear panel of the video processor, complete
with all installed input cards, is displayed. Used inputs are high-
lighted in blue, and the currently active input is highlighted in
yellow.
3. Rotate the zone knob and the input select knob (or the up/
down arrows on the remote) to navigate the yellow highlight
around the inputs.
Informational text describes the currently highlighted input.
You can also choose to de-assign the input or quit to leave the
input unchanged.
4. Press enter to save the currently highlighted input and return
to the audio inputs menu.
Pressing the menu button quits the operation.
Note
You can associate the same physical connector with more than a single
input.
Sound Profile One of the most powerful uses of the sound profile capability of the
Nº40 is to associate a default sound profile with an input. You can
always override this default profile, but used intelligently, this
feature can largely automate the reconfiguring of the system to suit
different situations. This will be discussed in more detail later, in
the “Advanced Features” on page 7-1.
If you would like to automatically switch to a particular sound
profile whenever you select the input you are defining, select it
from the list of profiles provided here. Of course, you cannot select
a profile that has not yet been defined; this is why the sound profile
menu comes before the inputs menu. (Naturally, you can jump
back and forth between the menus as needed to get the job done.)
