Problems playing other digital formats.
For other digital systems to play automatically according to fallback settings or when their Preset is
selected, their analog audio outputs must be correctly wired to an AUX input and their logic outputs must
be correctly wired to the AUTOMATION connector of the DFP-D3000. Basically Pin 34 must be
grounded for AUX1 to play and Pin 35 must be grounded to play AUX2, otherwise selecting these
Presets will play only their specified fallback sources. The same effect can be achieved in software by
selecting “No Fallback” (indicated by *) as the fallback for AUX 1 or 2. This will prevent them from ever
going to their fallback presets, but will also preempt selecting optical (NR2) as a fallback in the event
their data fails.
If you lose sound during a show you can place the DFP-3000 into bypass by turning off its mains power
at the front panel; an orange LED in the SELECT switch will come on unless the bypass power supply is
not connected. When running off the bypass supply, the Decoder will play in stereo from its optical input,
but without noise reduction or matrix decoding. If you lose digital sound for brief periods or if you are
unable to play optical soundtracks, the first thing to ensure is that the exciter lamp is working. See Tech
Note TN99111901 for help with a forward scan optical reader system.
Use the front panel HEADPHONE output and its MONITOR SELECT switch as a quick troubleshooting
aid. The signal source that is selected will be displayed on the LCD screen for five seconds after you
move the selector switch to a new position.
In the event you have difficulty.
