SECOND SYSTEM SETTING PAGE
Pressing MORE (F6) on the first SYSTEM SETTINGS page will show this screen:
The functions are:
OPERATING LEVEL
Pressing LEVEL (F1) on the second System Settings page takes you to the Operating Level
page:
Reference Level (F1) The Reference Level : is used to set the 0 VU of the A/D and D/A con-
verters.
Available selections are -12 dB , -16 dB, -18 dB and -20 dB.
Meter Ref Flash (F2)
This function may to used to allow accurate calibration of operating lev-
els to and from the DD8. When the METER REF FLASH mode is switched on, the REF light on
the barmeters will flash when the input signal is within approximately 0.4dB of the current oper-
ating level setting.
PRE-READ
Pressing P-READ (F3) on the second System Settings page takes you to the Pre-Read menu :
PRead (F1)
Moves the cursor to the Pre-Read On/OFF field. This enables the Pre-
Read function and causes the DD8 to load pre-read data into memory.
NOTE: The Pre-Read function requires an area of memory to store information about the
audio files on disk. The DD8 also requires memory for storing large items such as disk direc-
tories. In some circumstances, you may receive an “OUT OF MEMORY” error message
when trying to enable the Pre-Read function. This indicates that the DD8 is unable to allocate
sufficient memory to allow this function to be used. This can be overcome by installing CPU
expansion RAM in the DD8.
Pre-Delay (F2/F3)
Moves the cursor to the Pre-Delay field (F2 (<) for the units, F3 (>) for the
decimal). This is the time before the current NOW time at which the track’s
Pre-Read output will be activated.
Threshold (F4/F5)
Moves the cursor to the Threshold field. This sets the detection threshold
of the selected track. Select the required track using the Track Keys (1-8)
or the ALL key (to set all the same threshold on all tracks).
