Check the metal trim, “metallized” knobs, screws,
and all other exposed metal parts for AC
leakage. Check leakage as described below.
LEAKAGE TEST
The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to
earth ground and from all exposed metal parts to
any exposed metal part having a return to
chassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA. Leakage
current can be measured by any one of three
methods.
1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the
Simpson 229 or RCA WT-540A. Follow the
manufacturers’ instructions to use these
instruments.
2. A battery-operated AC milliammeter. The
Data Precision 245 digital multimeter is
suitable for this job.
3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor
by means of a VOM or battery-operated AC
voltmeter. The “limit” indication is 0.75 V, so
analog meters must have an accurate lowvoltage scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa
SH-63Trd are examples of a passive VOM
that is suitable. Nearly all battery operated
digital multimeters that have a 2 V AC range
are suitable. (See Fig. A)

The DMX-R100 is a compact digital audio mixer for a
post production house that creates digital media or
digital broadcasting.
High quality audio signal processing
Chaper 1 Overview
The unit allows you to select the sampling frequency
to be used to convert an analog audio signal to a digital
audio signal at 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz or 96 kHz.
When you select either 88.2 kHz or 96 kHz, the
frequency response range expands to 40 kHz.
The analog signal is converted to a 24-bit digital signal
in the mixer. The unit enables AES/EBU format input/
output with at least 24-bit precision. The high
precision floating point unit for internal calculation
results in high quality signal processing.
When either 88.2 kHz or 96 kHz is selected as a sampling
frequency, the number of channels and options boards is
limited.
For details, see page 69.
Easy operation using the high resolution
color LCD and touch panels
The parameters of each channel are displayed in color
and as patterns on one screen. This improves the
operation for equalization or dynamics setting and
allows you to perform operations precisely and
quickly.
Automation functions for professional use
•Snapshot automation
The unit can memorize up to 99 control settings
(snapshots) such as settings of faders and controls on
the channel strips, settings of the equalizer or
dynamics for source signals, signal path, etc., as
snapshot data. You can easily recall the snapshot
data, allowing you to preset programs
instantaneously.
•Full-dynamic automation
You can select either SMPTE or MTC (MIDI
timecode) as the timecode for reference.
The unit can memorize and recall parameters such as
faders, pan controls, equalizer, dynamics and AUX
signal setting. Also the fader with the touch-sensor
improves operation. A scene stored as a snapshot data
can be linked with a cue point that is defined as
timecode. These functions provide you with the same
function as those of a large console-type mixer.
•You can store snap automation data and dynamic
automation data on a 3.5-inch floppy disk.
Chaper 1 Overview

Usage of channel strips
The LEDs of the pan controls and faders on the
channel strip for each channel allow you to know the
analog data at a glance. You can define the desired
parameters to pan pots and faders, directly confirming
analog data on the channel strips.
Flexible built-in matrix switchers
•The built-in input matrix switcher allows you to
assign standard analog input, digital input or input
from option boards to any desired channel. You can
change the switcher operation easily using the touch
panel on the screen.
•The built-in output matrix switcher allows you to
assign the outputs of PGM buses, AUX buses and
MTR buses to the output of the desired option boards.
Also, the unit can output one signal to different
output connectors at the same time.
Large number of channels
•The unit is equipped with 24 analog channels which
can input a wide variety of analog sources. Also, the
unit is equipped with XLR connectors and standard
TRS jacks.
•In addition to 48 channels with full functions, the unit
has 8 AUX returns. This allows you to mix up to 56
channels at the same time. Also, the PGM bus, AUX
bus and MTR bus are equipped with equalizer and
dynamics control.
•The unit has four optional slots. You can input and
output audio signals of up to 8 channels to one
optional slot. Thus, maximum 32 channels of inputs/
outputs are available for four slots.
Surround mode
•5.1 surround mode can be set using the MTR bus.
•Since the unit has 6 channels for surround monitors
as standard equipment, it is not necessary to add
outputs for monitoring.
•You can control the surround pan with touch panel
operation.
Stored sound images can be recalled using dynamic
automation.
Connection to video equipment
•The unit can synchronize with video equipment such
as a digital VTR, by supplying reference video
signals. Since the unit is equipped with video input
connectors, it is not necessary to add other
equipment.
•The unit can control up to 2 external devices
conforming to the Sony 9-pin remote serial interface,
by connecting external devices such as a VTR to the
remote connector on the rear panel.

In the automation operation of the unit, setting data such as snapshot data,
dynamic automation data, sampling frequencies and timecode required for
the mixing operation for one tune is treated as “Title”.
There are two types of titles: One is the “current title” automatically
created in the flash memory that is the work area for storing/recalling at
loading. The other is the title saved as a file.
For detailed information on how to create a title, see “TITLE MANAGER
Window” on page 62.
Creating a new title (NEW)
A new current title which has no data is created based on the current
sampling frequency and timecode mode setting. At this time, all data other
than the sampling frequency and timecode are cleared.
The current title is the work title created in the flash memory used for
mixing operations.
Saving a title
The current tile is saved into the specified TITLE number.
Loading a title
The specified title is loaded in the current title.
The setting for Fs (sampling frequency) is different between the loaded
title and current title, the unit restarts after giving a confirmation message.
Changing the sampling frequency and timecode
You can change the sampling frequency and timecode freely. However,
when you change them, the contents of the current title are cleared.
When there are created titles
•The sampling frequency, sync source and timecode mode are set on the
unit according to the content of the existing title.
•The current title worked on just before turning off the unit is
automatically loaded. The initial cue is automatically recalled and the
dynamic automation data is automatically loaded into the effective
buffers.

To perform a cue operation on the window, use the CUE window.
For details of the buttons, see “Automation panel” on page 22, and for operations
on the window, see “CUE window” on page 59.
•CUE 1 is reserved as an initial cue to indicate the start point of the
automation.
•When the timecode before the timecode specified for the initial cue is
entered, automation data does not become effective until the timecode
advances beyond the timecode of the initial CUE after the system recalls
CUE 1.
•To change the initial cue, perform the same operating procedure as for
changnging other cue points. But if you set the timecode after the
timecode of the initial cue, dynamic automation data between the former
timecode and the timecode newly set will be lost. Similarly, you can
change the snapshot linked with the initial cue. But if you change it, an
inconsistency problem may occur betwen the snapshot data and the
dynamic automation data.

Notes
•The initial cue is the start point of the automation. For six hours before
this initial cue point, any cue points and automation data can not exist.
•If you change the time of the initial cue and the snapshot data linked with
the initial cue, the data existing between the time before the change and
after the change are lost and this may have an adverse effect on the result
after recalling automation. Take special care when updating the initial
cue.
