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.

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
