30 DR66 & DR128 Installer User Guide
Using the DR
The DR is designed to be configured by the installer and used by the day-to-day operator. The
installer or engineer in charge of the system is expected to have a good audio system knowledge
and technical capability and is provided with a powerful set of editing tools to set and maintain the
system architecture and parameters to best suit the specific installation. Once configured these
settings are saved to the unit and archived to disk. The operator, on the other hand, is not
expected to have any technical knowledge and is simply provided with the pre-configured panel
and remote control to carry out the basic day-to-day control. Access to the system settings is
usually locked away from the operator. The installer can provide as much or as little control to the
operator as appropriate.
This section describes the basic operation of the DR66 and DR128 front panel controls as
assigned by the installer. For operating instructions on the remote equipment refer to the relevant
user guides or suppliers.
The Front Panel Display
When switching on the DR unit the LCD displays a series of boot up messages:
This first message displays very briefly after power
is applied. It displays the version number of the boot
code running in the unit. Version 2 DR software
requires boot code Version 1.40 or later.
This message displays for a few seconds while the
DR operating software actions its boot up routines.
This message displays the current DR operating
code loaded for a few seconds. It is important that
the DR operating code and WinDR System Manager
software versions are the same. You can also view
the version number at any time by pressing and
holding the ESC key.
If the current configuration has had no patches
recalled or none available then the normal display
shows the version number, day of week and 24 hour
clock with hours, minutes and seconds.
If the current configuration has had patches recalled
then the normal display top line shows the number
of the last full patch recalled / the number of the last
partial patch recalled, and the name of the last full
patch recalled.
This example shows that patch number 1 named
‘Daytime’ was the last full patch recalled. This would
have affected all the parameters, in this example
prepared the system for its normal daytime
operation. Patch number 25 was the last partial
patch recalled. This may have been assigned as an
input source change, in this example to select the
CD player to Zone 1.
