12 Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when

unused for long periods of time.

13 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or
plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects
have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally,
or has been dropped.

• This equipment should be installed near the socket
outlet and disconnection of the device should be easily
accessible.

• Do not install in a confined space.

• Do not open the unit - risk of electric shock inside.

Caution:

You are cautioned that any change or modifications not
expressly approved in this manual could void your authority
to operate this equipment.

Service

• There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

• All service must be performed by qualified personnel.

WARNING

• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

• This apparatus must be earthed.

• Use a three wire grounding type line cord like the one
supplied with the product.

• Be advised that different operating voltages require the
use of different types of line cord and attachment plugs.

• Check the voltage in your area and use the
correct type. See table below:

Voltage Line plug according to

standard.

110-125V UL817 and CSA C22.2 no 42.

220-230V CEE 7 page VII, SR section

240V BS 1363 of 1984.

Specification for 13A fused
plugs and switched and
unswitched socket outlets.

The lightning flash with an arrowhead symbol
within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert
the user to the presence of uninsulated
"dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure
that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a
risk of electric shock to persons.

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.

Congratulations on your purchase of the TC Electronic D22 broadcast delay.

Researching the broadcast scene, TC Electronic found demands for a “state of the art” broadcast delay dedicated to sync audio to motion
pictures. With TC’s experience on Digital Delay we found it natural to comply with a product in this category.
Therefore TC now proudly presents the D22 broadcast delay unit with Seamless Update, adding no clicks, pitch changes or noise,
as one of the main features.

Main Features

No clicks, pitch changes or noise.

- 5200ms* Delay pr. Channel (two channels).

- 24 bit A/D-D/A converters.

- Digital I/O's: AES/EBU, S/PDIF,
Wordclock BNC 75ohm.

- Sample Rates: Internal 44.1, 48kHz,

External 32, 44.1 and 48kHz.

- Total recall via programmable setups/presets.

- Tap Delay time - Instant or Preview.
