[. . . ] The maximum cable length between devices is 30 meters, and you can connect up to eight devices that are equipped with the [YDIF] connectors. For details, refer to the MTX Editor User’s Manual. !0 [ST IN] connectors These are unbalanced RCA phono jacks for inputting analog audio signals from a CD player or other device. NOTE Do not use a UNIT ID of “00” (DIP switches 1 and 2 OFF and the rotary switch at 0). !1 [INPUT] [OUTPUT] connectors These are balanced input/output connectors for analog audio input and output. Connect line level devices or microphones to the [INPUT] connectors, and line level devices to the [OUTPUT] connectors. The [INPUT] connectors provide head amps, and can also provide +48V phantom power. MTX Editor is used to specify the gain of the internal head amps and to turn the phantom power on/off. Use the included Euroblock plugs to make connections (see “Euroblock plug connection” on page 11 for details).  Switches 3–4 These switches are for future expansion. Use this if you want to prevent accidental operation from the front panel. Switch position Option UNLOCK Functions The front panel controls will be available for operation. The device can be operated from a computer or an external controller. NOTE Adjusting the internal head amp gain between +17 dB and +18 dB will internally turn PAD on/off. Noise may occur if there is an impedance difference between the Hot and Cold of a device connected to the [INPUT] connectors while phantom power is being used. LOCK  Switch 6 (IP SETTING) This switch specifies how the VPCEG25FX/B’s IP address will be specified. Switch position Option UNIT ID Functions The IP address will be specified according to the UNIT ID, and will be 192. 168. 0. (UNIT ID). (See “MTX Editor User’s Manual. ”) !2 Cooling vent The VPCEG25FX/B contains a cooling fan. The cooling air is exhausted here, so please be careful not to block this vent. PC Cooling vent NOTE Set this to the “UNIT ID” position the first time you connect this device to a computer after purchase. • HA section: HA gain, +48V (phantom power) • Input channel section: HPF, 3BAND EQ, GATE, COMP, FBS, AGC, Level • Matrix/Zone section: Two-level priority ducker, ANC • Output channel section: Room EQ (Delay, 4Band EQ), SPEAKER PROCESSOR (X-over, Delay, 6Band EQ, Level, Limiter) 6. Set up the entire MTX system as directed by the wizard. Make settings such as the number of connected MTX/XMV/ DCP devices, and the UNIT ID and YDIF mode (Cascade mode or Distribution mode) for each device. For details on YDIF, refer to “Features” (page 7), and “o [YDIF] connectors” in “Controls and Connectors” (page 10). Print out the schematic diagram shown at the end of the wizard, and use it when you make the actual connections and settings. VPCEG25FX/B Owner’s Manual 13 Quick Guide 8. Make DCP settings. Assign the parameters of the VPCEG25FX/B to the switches and knobs of the connected DCP units. Here you can also specify the brightness of the DCP’s LEDs. On-site work (Installation and wiring) Install and connect the system while referring to the schematic diagram you printed out. 9. Specify and store a preset. You can use presets to change the volume of zones and the audio source to play (e. g. , SD memory card or CD player) in a single action. To prevent problems such as a sudden increase in volume when the VPCEG25FX/B is operated, we recommend that you store the preset with the output level lowered to “-infinity (). ” For details on presets and how to recall them, refer to “Recalling (switching) presets” on page 16, and “MTX Editor User’s Manual. ” 1. Make digital connections between the VPCEG25FX/B and any XMV. Make a ring connection between the VPCEG25FX/B and the other devices equipped with a [YDIF] connector, such as an XMV series amplifier. 10. Save your settings and close MTX Editor. A project file with the extension “. mtx” will be created. 3. Set the UNIT ID of the VPCEG25FX/B and the XMV. Set the UNIT ID for every VPCEG25FX/B and XMV device you connected in the above steps. [. . . ] The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product. CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. The above warning is located on the top of the unit. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Read these instructions. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. [. . . ]
