AUDIO OUTPUTS:
The analog audio outputs for your services appear at the DB-9 connectors on the
DECODER cards plugged into the expansion ports at the back of the Starguide receiver.
Wiring pinouts are on the BACKPLANE DIAGRAM.
RULE #1: There are two audio sources on each DECODER. PINS 1 and 6 are
the left, or A, channel and PINS 5 and 9 are the right, or B, channel.
RULE #2: Do not wire to the MONO SUM of the DECODER. Most feeds are fed
in dual-mono. You will get both feeds on the MONO SUM output.
NETCUE CLOSURES:
16 programmable contact closures are available on the DB-37 connector on the
NETCUE DATA CARD (labeled RELAYS and SER1) in PORT F. A serial output for ABC
Data is available on the RJ-45 connector. Refer to the attached pin-out diagram for
connection instructions.
RELAY CLOSURES:
Several of the ABC Satellite Services clients use the four (4) relay closures that are built
in to the audio decoder card. Pinout instructions for these closures can be found on the
BACKPLANE DIAGRAM. Contact your program syndicator for relay assignments.
Your receiver may have an extra RELAY CONTACTS card in PORT B. This card is
basically an extension of the four (4) relays built in to PORT C. This card provides an
additional 12 relay closures, if needed. Be advised that these two cards are physically
connected and must be removed or inserted as a pair. Both cards will be damaged if
you attempt to remove them individually.
24-HOUR MUSIC FORMATS:
If you intend to use this receiver for one of ABC Radio’s 24-hour music formats, you
should use the DECODER card in PORT C and the RELAY CONTACTS card in PORT B.
Be advised that these two cards are physically connected and must be removed or
inserted as a pair. Both cards will be damaged if you attempt to remove them
individually.
RULE #1: The RELAY CONTACTS card physically plugs in to the audio
DECODER card directly beneath it !
RULE #2: You should not use the NETCUE/DATA card for 24-hour format
relay closures.
