BOARD port on the back of the Remote CPU.
2. Plug a PS/2 compatible mouse into the MOUSE
port on the back of the Remote CPU.
3. Plug an SVGA video monitor into the VIDEO port
on the back of the Remote CPU.
Note
: We highly recommend the use of a multisync
monitor; however, if one is unavailable you must use a
monitor capable of at least a 72Hz scan rate. We
recommend using a 17-inch or larger monitor for best
results.
Now connect the audio inputs and outputs
to the console.
1. Connect the CR NEAR FIELD or CR MAIN
outputs on the back of the Digital 8•Bus to the
line inputs of the power amplifier. These outputs
are wired balanced when using a tip-ring-sleeve
connector or unbalanced when using a tip-sleeve
connector. Use instrument/line-level cable for this
connection.
2. Connect monitor speakers to the output of the
power amplifier using speaker cable. Always use
high quality wire. The sound you hear will be
more reliable and accurate.
Note
: If you’re using powered monitors, connect the
Left and Right CR NEAR FIELD outputs directly to
the line inputs on the powered monitors.
Optional Refreshments
Have a sip of java and a biscotti.
Details
Make sure the POWER switch on the Remote CPU
is off. Now plug the linecord into an AC outlet
properly configured for your model. Leave the
POWER switch off while connecting the
peripheral equipment to the console.
Note
: The Remote CPU should be treated as you would
any computer. We recommend that you use a UPS
(Uninterruptible Power Supply) and a surge protector
on the AC line.
Caution: Never connect or disconnect anything
except microphone or line-level inputs while
the console is powered up.
Connect directly from CR NEARFIELD or CR MAIN
to powered reference monitors using line-level cable.
