Signature 2.0

Quick Start Instructions

NOTE: To use the sources when they are connected as shown in the chart on the previous page, press the button name shown. The button names may not correspond exactly to the type of source used for any input profile, but you may rename the input source for the on-screen display by following the instructions shown on page 27 of this manual.

3. Connect the video “Record Inputs” of your VCR to the Composite or S-Video “Rec” Outputs.

4.Connect the audio “Record Inputs” of your VCR and/or audio tape recorder to the “Rec” Outputs on the rear of the 2.0. There is no problem in sending the feed to both recorders and two recordings may be made at one time from the same source.

5.Connect the Composite or S-Video “Main” Outputs to the matching Composite or S-Video input on your TV monitor or projector.

6.Connect the AM and FM antennae supplied with the 2.0 to the proper antenna connections on the rear panel.

7.If a Signature Series audio power amplifier, or other compatible amplifier, is being used, connect the power trigger cable supplied with the 2.0 to the Trigger Output on the 2.0 and the amplifier’s compatible Trigger Input.

8.Connect the Audio Outputs of the 2.0 to the inputs of your five-channel power amplifier. Be certain that channels are properly matched (e.g., connect left to left, right to right, etc.) Connect the Sub Output to the mono “line level” input of a powered subwoofer, or to the audio input of the amplifier channel feeding a passive subwoofer. Connect the audio amplifier to the speakers, carefully following the instructions provided with the speaker and amplifier, and ensure that polarity is matched between the speaker and amplifier when connections are made.

9.Install the batteries in the remote control, being careful to observe the (+) and (–) polarity indicators on the remote and the batteries.

10.Connect all devices, including the 2.0, to AC

power and turn everything on EXCEPT for the 2.0 and any audio amplifier not connected to the 2.0’s triggered output.

11.Press the Master Power Switch on the 2.0 in until it latches and is flush with the front panel. A green standby LED will light, and the front panel Information Display will come on briefly to display the software version installed in your unit and then a Power Off Standby message will show briefly. The unit will then go into the Standby mode.

•To use the On-Screen Menu System, make certain that your TV or other video display device is turned on and switch to the proper video input at this point.

12.To turn the 2.0 on, press either the front panel Standby button, the Main On button on the remote, or any of the source buttons on the remote (e.g., TV, Vid 1, Tuner, etc.). The front panel Information Display will illuminate, the amber standby LED will go out and be replaced by blue illumination behind the word “Signature” on the front panel. A message will briefly appear in the on-screen display with the source, surround mode and volume.

•If you are using a Signature Series amplifier or another compatible amplifier connected to the Trigger Output jack, it will receive a turn-on signal as soon as the 2.0 is turned on. Note that with most amplifiers there will be a short, intentional delay between the turn-on signal and when the amplifier sends signals to the speakers. This is a normal function designed to prevent damage to your speakers.

•If you are using an amplifier not controlled by the 2.0’s Trigger Output, turn it on at least 10 seconds AFTER the 2.0 is turned on.
