INTRODUCTION
Welcome to a new world of possibilities. Casablanca IV is by far the most advanced surround sound processor/home
theater controller available today. It offers the advantages of Theta’s legendary mastery in digital signal processing and
sound quality unapproachable by any other equipment.
Getting to know your Casablanca IV
Despite Casablanca IV’s great technical sophistication, we believe in making it as easy as possible for you to use. We
think you’ll enjoy the intuitive way the Casablanca IV works. Rather than offer a frustrating bewilderment of little used
functions in constant view vying for your attention, Casablanca IV is structured systematically by function.
The “user interface” is based on simple logic. For example, when a function button is pressed, you can make changes
within its menu(s) and press the same function button again to exit that function. (The same button that got you in gets
you back out).
This Casablanca IV has been put through a rigorous and unique testing procedure that insures that it will last for many
years with minimal service requirements. This procedure includes the following:
•
All assembled circuit boards are given a thorough visual inspection and are then tested in a bench-reference
Casablanca IV.
•
The tested assembled circuit boards are installed in a new Casablanca IV and the whole unit is tested for every
function and parameter.
•
The unit is put on a burn-in torture rack for 100 hours to test for any possible component failures.
•
The Casablanca IV is tested on an audio analyzer for all pertinent parameters.
•
The Casablanca IV is put through a final bench test wherein every possible feature, mode and parameter is
checked.
•
The unit has all remaining chassis components installed and then undergoes a complete visual inspection, which
assures that all Casablanca IVs meet visual specifications.
•
The unit is then put through a critical listening test.
Burn In Time
This unit has a break in period of about 2 weeks during which continuous improvement in sound quality will be observed.
It is recommended that music be played continuously through the unit during this time to expedite the break in period.
