Adjusting the input sensitivity of an audio input

Depending on the strength of the audio signal delivered by the external audio source, adapt the input sensitivity as follows:

From the central unit’s operating menu, choose “Aux-In/Out”.

Choose the desired audio input.

Choose “Sensitivity”.

The current input sensitivity (“LOW” or “HIGH”) is shown on the display.

y Choose “LOW” if the connected audio source delivers a strong signal (e.g. CD player)

y Choose “HIGH” if the connected audio source delivers a weak signal (e.g. microphone)

Adjust the input sensitivity and press the ENTER key to save your setting.

Configuring the outputs of the SDC 8000 analog output unit

You can configure the outputs of the SDC 8000 AO analog output unit via the two DIP switches and the rotary switch located on the printed circuit board of the SDC 8000 AO. For configuring the outputs, you have to open the analog output unit.

The two DIP switches and the rotary switch are located in the middle of the printed circuit board, directly behind the front panel.

Note!

Disconnect the SDC 8000 AO from the central unit before configuring the SDC 8000 AO’s outputs!

With the two DIP switches (2 switch positions: ON or OFF) and the rotary

switch (16 switch positions: 1 to F), you assign a channel number to the output OUT 1 (reference output). The outputs OUT 2 to OUT 8 are automatically assigned the subsequent channel numbers.
