BASIC OPERATIONAL FUNCTIONS
Switching on the Cinecitta’ Processor
When the plug of the supply cable is connected to the socket, the equipment lights up
showing an introductory message and, after few seconds the functioning condition.
Whenever this shouldn’t happen, please consult the section about the problem’s
resolution.
Even if it is advisable to switch off the equipment (disconnecting the supply cable’s
plug) when it is not used for long periods of time or during storms and electric storms,
it is possible to leave it on in between the various daily listening. In this case, it is
available the stand-by function which deactivates the equipment, silencing the audio
exits and switching off the video ones. If the trigger connection between processor and
amplifier is active, activating the stand-by provokes even the switching off of the
amplifier.
Regulating and silencing the volume (mute)
The volume’s knob on the front panel and the buttons Vol+/Vol- on the remote control
act on the general listening level. This means that the volume of active inputs is
modified from the same value. It is possible to change the levels about the various
inputs in comparison to the general listening level, influencing the set-up.
The mute button, on the front panel and on the remote control, allows to lessen the
listening level to 20dB. With a normal listening level, this is the equivalent to pass to
a musical background level.
This function is useful when is suddenly necessary to diminish the volume, for instance
to reply to a phone call or to have a conversation or more when you want to replace
the DD or the DVD. For very low volumes it is possible that activating the mute
provokes the total silencing of one or more channels. Deactivating the mute will restore
the normal listening level.
Selecting the audio inputs for the listening
Selecting the desired audio channel happens through rotating the left selector (SELECT)
or through pressing the CH+ oCH-buttons. The selection is circular, so it is possible
to pass from the last inputs of the sequence to the to the first one and vice versa without
gliding all the other ones. Analog and digital inputs are organized in the same way and
considered exactly the same. The sequence is the following one: Phone, CD, Tuner,
Aux, Video 1, Video 2, Video 3, Video 4, Tape 1, Tape 2, 8-Inputs, Coax1, Coax 2,
Coax 3, Coax 4, Opt1, Opt 2, Opt 3. The last 7 channels are digital. The Audio Channels

activated in the factory are the following ones:
