MSD600M - Technical Reference Manual 11
4.9 LCD Display
The MSD600M is fitted with the very best in LCD
display technology: A high-quality, 640 (horizontal)
x 480 (vertical) pixel, full-colour TFT LCD display
with extra high contrast and viewing angle. The dis-
play has a dual tube cold cathode (CCFT) installed
inside the unit for background illumination with an
expected lifetime of approximately 50,000 hours.
The display is controlled directly from the DSP
using a Display Driver design developed by
DK-Audio.
There are several suppliers of TFT VGA displays,
but with a very high variation in quality. DK-Audio is
only using the very best TFT technology available
today. These are a bit more expensive than com-
monly used LCD displays but so much better.
Remember: “You See What You Hear”!
4.10 Power Supply
The MSD600M is using an external power supply
of the desktop type. This enables the MSD itself to
be more compact for easy installation.
The power supply is based on the switch-mode
principle. Power input is through the 9-pin DSUB
connector on the Utility Module found at the rear of
the unit.
• Recommended supply voltage range is 12-24V
DC 24W
NOTE: LCD pixels turn black or radiate
different colours
The LCD is constructed with precision technolo-
gy so 99.99% of the pixels are active, but of the
remaining 0.01% there are pixels, that may be
black or emit light constantly in a fixed colour.
This phenomenon is not a malfunction and is
therefore not covered by the 2-year factory war-
ranty.
NOTE: High Voltage
Special care must be taken in a service or main-
tenance situation, as 600V AC is present on the
PCB.
