Power requirements:
DC +10 V to +15 V (at the external power supply
from the DC IN 10-15V connector)
Maximum power consumption:
1400 mA or less (at the external power supply from
the DC IN 10-15V connector)
The unit can be powered in the following ways:
. Internal batteries
Eight LR6 (size AA) alkaline batteries can be accommodated in the battery compartment.
. External battery
A lithium ion battery or nickel metal hydride battery
which is connected to the DC IN 10-15V connector on
the right panel. The unit is equipped with two types of
DC IN 10-15V connector: an XLR 4-pin and a DC jack
type connector. Select either one depending on the
external battery you are using.
m
. Do not connect external batteries to both XLR 4-pin
type connector and the DC jack at the same time. Be
sure to connect the external battery to either one.
. Do not connect the external battery other than the BP-
90 type battery to the DC jack, because the polarity of
the DC jack is different.
Power Supply for Check and Repair
Perform the check and repair by supplying DC +10 to
+15 V from the DC regulated power supply capable of 3 A
or more output to the DC IN 10-15V connector.

For details on the check mode, refer to Section 1-8.
TP602: HEATER TEST Pin
This is for the check of the LCD heater operation on the
LCD board.
When this pin is short-circuited, the heater activates to
allow you to check the heater operation as follows:
. Check the change of the value of CHECK MODE: No.
15: LCD TEMP. When the heater activates, the value
increases in several minutes.
For the check mode, refer to Section 1-8.
. Check the change of the current value of external power
source. When the heater activates, the current increases
by 160 - 240 mA.
n
The heater is activated only with the external power
supply (DC IN 10-15V connector). When the power is
supplied from the internal batteries, the heater is not
activated.

removed.
When the Case (Bottom) is removed for the check of the
MAIN board (B side), be sure to follow the following
procedures:
n
Ignoring the following procedures may cause a trouble,
because the GND for the board is not established.
1. Turn off the power, and remove the Case (bottom).
2. Solder the B-side lands of the EP101 and EP401 on the
MAIN board with a wire of AWG18 or more.
3. Turn on the power, and perform the check.
4. After the check, turn off the power and remove the
wire that was soldered in step 1.
5. Install the Case (Bottom).
Solder a wire thicker than AWG18.

1-6.Note on MAIN Board Replacement
When the MAIN board is replaced with new one, the software version written in the built-in memory of
IC609 (system-control microcomputer) on the MAIN board may be different from the latest one due to
the bug fix.
After replacing the MAIN board, be sure to confirm that the software is the latest version referring to
technical memos. (For the way of version confirmation, refer to Section 1-9.) When a relevant technical
memo is not found, the latest software is Ver 1.00.
If the software version of the replaced MAIN board is not the latest one, write the latest software.
For the way to write software, refer to the technical memo.
1-7.Change of Output Level
By the factory setting, the reference output levels for ANALOG OUTPUT L and R are set to +4 dBu at
the LEVEL switch of +4.
To change the reference output levels to +6, 0, or _3 dBu, change the following values to the corresponding values.
n
By this setting change, the output level also changes at the LEVEL switch is in at _60 and _20. The
reference output level for TAPE OUT is not changed (_10 dBu).
Following is the method to modify the power supply each
input channel from 48V PHANTOM POWER to 12V-T
(A-B) POWER.
Change the short-circuiting by solder to +12V side that is
out of a white box as illustrated. Every input channel has
three places to be modified.

When the board is replaced or repaired, be sure to perform
the checks in Check Mode.
If a result for a check is out of specification, an improper
connection, disconnection, or short-circuit is considered
causative. In this case, perform the troubleshooting
following the check route and referring to the block
diagram and schematic diagrams.
..
. To enter into Check Mode:
..
(1) Remove the rear lid.
(2) Turn on the power while pressing the S602 TEST
switch on the MAIN board.

In the CHECK MODE: No. 28, turn the ADJUST knob to
the right. (Turning to the left returns to the operational
check mode.)
The mode turns into the loopback test mode. The 1 kHz
reference signal generated by the internal oscillator is
output to all of the output connectors, including digital
output.
By connecting the Analog Output L or R (XLR 3-pin) to
the CH 1 to 4 input connector each using an XLR 3-pin XLR 3-pin cable, the conditions for the input and output
audio circuits can be checked.
During this test, the functions related to CPU operation
(such as the input level control, PAN control, and MASTER volume control of each channel) do not work.
