MODE LEDs

Each stereo pair of MAIN and BACKUP inputs has a MODE LED which indicates which 
switching mode is currently being employed on that channel. The MODE LED has three 
states:
Green  

–   The channel is in AUTO mode

Yellow  

–   The channel is in SLAVE mode

Red  

–   The channel is in MANUAL mode

LINK/SELECT Buttons & LINK LED

There are four LINK/SELECT buttons, one for each channel pair. To link any inputs simply 
press and hold the link buttons for 2 channels. All channels between the selected channels 
will be included in the link. Once linked, the yellow link LED between them will illuminate. 
For example, to link channels 1 & 2 ,3 & 4 and 5 & 6, press and hold the link buttons on 
channels 1 & 2 and 5 & 6 for 2 seconds. Whilst channels 1 & 2 and 3 & 4 are linked, there 
is an additional option to link 5 & 6 and 7 & 8 together individually. To do this press and 
hold LINK/SELECT 5 & 6 and 7 & 8 for 2 seconds. To release this mode, press and hold either 
LINK/SELECT 5 & 6 or LINK/SELECT 1 & 2.  The left-most channel pair (usually channels 1 & 
2) will dominate and all other pairs will inherit their settings, with the new settings being 
reflected by changes to the status indicators.

Additional Indicators

Fig 2-3: RB-DSD8 Additional Indicators

EXT SYNC LED

This LED displays the synchronisation mode that is 
currently selected. This LED has five states:

Green  

–   Master mode is selected

Yellow  

–   Slave mode is selected

Flashing yellow   –   Slave mode selected but  
 

 

synchronisation is lost

Red  

–   Auto mode is selected

Flashing red  

–   Auto mode selected but  

 

 

synchronisation is lost.

Remote Control Indicator

If remote control mode is selected (see DIPSwitch section for settings) this LED will be 
illuminated.

PSU (Power Supply) Indicators

Each PSU on the unit has its own indication LED. If both PSUs are working and correct both 
LEDs are illuminated green. If the internal ADC circuitry detects the level drop below a 
sufficient level on a particular supply, its representitive LED will illuminate red instead to 
indicate a fault.

Reset Button

In the unlikely event that the RB-DSD8 unit fails to respond, press the reset button to 
reboot the unit (see Fig 1-1 for location).
