1.Plug a PC-compatible keyboard into the KEY- BOARD port on the back of the Remote CPU.

2.Plug a PS/2 compatible mouse into the MOUSE port on the back of the Remote CPU.

3.Plug an SVGA video monitor into the VIDEO port on the back of the Remote CPU.

Note: We highly recommend the use of a multisync monitor; however, if one is unavailable you must use a monitor capable of at least a 72Hz scan rate. We recommend using a 17-inch or larger monitor for best results.

Now connect the audio inputs and outputs to the console.

1.Connect the CR NEAR FIELD or CR MAIN outputs on the back of the Digital 8•Bus to the line inputs of the power amplifier. These outputs are wired balanced when using a tip-ring-sleeve connector or unbalanced when using a tip-sleeve connector. Use instrument/line-level cable for this connection.

2.Connect monitor speakers to the output of the power amplifier using speaker cable. Always use high quality wire. The sound you hear will be more reliable and accurate.

Note: If you’re using powered monitors, connect the Left and Right CR NEAR FIELD outputs directly to the line inputs on the powered monitors.

Optional Refreshments

Have a sip of java and a biscotti.

Details

Make sure the POWER switch on the Remote CPU is off. Now plug the linecord into an AC outlet properly configured for your model. Leave the POWER switch off while connecting the peripheral equipment to the console.

Note: The Remote CPU should be treated as you would any computer. We recommend that you use a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) and a surge protector on the AC line.

Caution: Never connect or disconnect anything except microphone or line-level inputs while the console is powered up.
