Nº40 Media Console Menu System
The Define Input Menu
As can be seen from the rear panel diagrams and explanations
earlier in this manual, the Nº40 Media Console includes a plethora
of connectors and options for hooking up source components. The
Define Inputs menu specifies how you want to use the available
hardware, and gives you several powerful options designed to make
daily operation of the system simpler and more intuitive.
When you first enter the Define Inputs menu, you will see a list of
any and all inputs that have already been defined, along with the
last item, which allows you to add new inputs beyond those already
defined. When you highlight any particular input definition, you
can see all of the subordinate settings associated with that input,
along with a menu item that allows you to delete any input you no
longer need.
The parameters for each input that you can specify are as follows.
Name The name can be up to twelve characters long (e.g., “main chair,”
“couch,” “desk”). This name is entered with the keyboard window.
To do so:
1. Select the name menu item
2. Press enter (or right arrow on the remote). This brings up the
keyboard window. The current name is displayed in the Name
Line with a blinking cursor on the currently active character. A
keyboard with characters and operations to select is shown with
one highlighted character
3. Rotate the zone knob and the input select knob (or use the up/
down arrows on the remote) to move the highlight to the
desired character or operation and press enter to select it
The selected character will be added to the Name Line at the
cursor, and the cursor will move one space to the right.
The following operations are available to complete editing the
name:
• insert Adds a space at the cursor position
• del Deletes the current cursor position
• clear Clears the entire Name Line
• cap Toggles the characters between capital and small letters
• save Saves the current Name Line and returns to the menu
• quit Returns to the menu without saving the Name Line
• ––> Moves the cursor one space to the right
• <–– Moves the cursor one space to the left.
