for Surround
(– – – –). This could be due to a problem
with the metadata signal connected to the
Model 76DBA Central Controller. But more
frequently this will simply be the normal
result that occurs when the Model 77B’s
input is not selected for the metadata-
associated surround input source.
Channel Pop Solo Display
As has been previously discussed, the
channel pop solo mode offers a unique
way of sonically highlighting an individual
channel. A channel selected for soloing
in this mode will have its level increased
while the other non-soloed channels will be
reduced in level. To highlight this condition
the letters POP will appear in the 4-digit
display whenever a channel is actively
being soloed in the channel pop solo
mode. This ensures that a user will under-
stand that the post-fader surround digital
and analog monitor outputs no longer
represent the true inter-channel level
relationships.
Display Current Sample Rate
Pressing and holding the display mode
button will cause the current sample rate
value to be displayed: 32.0, 44.1, 48.0,
88.2, 96.0, 176.4, or 192.0. This can
be useful during troubleshooting or just
for general interest. Once the button is
released normal display operation will
resume.
Remote Control Inputs
As previously discussed in the Installation
section of this user guide, three remote
control signals can be connected to the
Model 76DBA and then configured for op-
eration. The functions are remote mute all,
remote dim, and remote auxiliary stereo
monitor output on/off. When an external
signal activates remote mute all the LED
on the Model 77B associated with the
mute all button will flash. If mute all was
already active when the remote mute all
function is activated, the LED will change
from being steadily lit to flashing.
When an external signal activates remote
dim the LED on the Model 77B associated
with the dim button will flash. If dim was
already active when remote dim is acti-
vated, the LED will change from being
steadily lit to flashing.
When an external signal activates the
remote auxiliary stereo monitor outputs the
LED associated with the auxiliary stereo
monitor output enable button will flash.
If the auxiliary stereo monitor output was
already active when remote auxiliary
stereo monitor output on/off is activated,
the LED will change from being steadily
lit to flashing.
Model 71 Control Console
The Model 71 Control Console provides
a limited number of pushbutton switches,
LEDs, and a rotary level control for status
display and control. The two buttons, along
with associated LEDs, provide access to
the dim and reference level functions. A
rotary level control allows adjustment of
the post-fader surround digital and analog
monitor output levels. A status LED lights
steadily whenever normal Model 71 opera-
tion is taking place.
Any changes made using the Model 71’s
rotary level control and buttons will be
reflected in the appropriate LEDs and dis-
plays on all the connected Model 77B and
Model 71 units. And, as expected, changes
made using a Model 77B will be reflected
in the Model 71’s LEDs.
