C) Play program material from your studio, peaking at normal program levels
(typically 0VU if your console uses VU meters).
D) [Skip this step if you are not using the analog input.]
Hold down the
A
NALOG
soft button and adjust the knob so that the
AGC
meter indicates an average of 10 dB gain reduction.
The procedure does not apply to the 5700i’s stand-alone stereo encoder
mode. In this mode, the level indicated on the screen during this step is
the R.M.S. level (in dBu) of a 50 Hz input tone that produces 100% peak
modulation at the 5700i’s composite output when the 5700i’s

Hold down the

The procedure does not apply to the 5700i’s stand-alone stereo encoder

10. Configure the analog outputs.
A) Set analog output feed.
a) Press the Next button.
b) Turn the knob to choose FM, FM+Delay, Monitor, or HD.
The HD selection will only be available if your unit is an 5700iHD
B) Set analog output to be flat or pre-emphasized.
a) Press the Next button.
b) [Skip this step if you will not be using the analog left/right outputs.]
Turn the knob to choose
P
RE
-
E
(for pre-emphasis) or
F
LAT
.
If you will use the analog output to drive a stereo encoder,
P
RE
provides
the best performance because the stereo encoder that receives the ana-
log output does not have to restore the pre-emphasis. However, if you
cannot defeat the pre-emphasis in your stereo encoder, or if you will use
the analog output for monitoring, set the output
F
LAT
.
If you are sending the analog output of the 5700i through a digital link
that uses lossy compression (like MPEG, APT-X, or Dolby), set the output
F
LAT
. Lossy codecs cannot handle pre-emphasized signals.
11. Configure the digital outputs
A) Assign sources to Digital Outputs #1 and #2.
The instructions in this step 11 assume that your unit is an 5700iHD and
that you are using Digital Output #2 to drive your analog FM transmitter
