20. DQ-C01 Settings
Here, an optional DQ-C01 Remote Control Module will be described.
1. Outline
Installing the DQ-C01 permits the DP-0206’s memory selection, output volume adjustment,
and output muting to be remotely controlled from external equipment. For its installation, refer
to the instruction manual attached to the DP-0206 or the DQ-C01.
The DQ-C01 is initially set to the memory selection function, with terminals 1-8 set to memory
numbers 1-8, respectively. You can recall memory numbers 1-8 by shorting terminals 1-8
with terminal C. Refer to the following explanations when changing the memory number to be
recalled, or when setting the memory number for other function.
2. Setting Screen
Select from the menu bar Option
- Mode
→ External Control,and the dialog below appears.
Either Direct or Binary Mode is assigned to the DQ-C01. Terminals 1-3 can only be used for
the Direct Mode.
Direct Mode
Controls terminals 1-8 and terminal C by shorting them.
Binary Mode
Provides any one of terminals 4-8 and terminal C with "short" or "open" mode to control
52
Page 53
them. When selecting the Binary Mode, perform the setting in turn from terminal 8.
- Function
Sets terminal functions. It is initially set for Memory Selection.
Memory --- Memory Selection
Volume Up/Down --- Output Volume Adjustment
Mute --- Output Muting
None --- No function is set for the terminal.
- Parameter
Sets the memory number when selecting the memory, and the step when adjusting the
volume.
- Control
Sets the control method to be assigned to the terminals. The control method when the
function is set for "Mute" can be selected from "Make" or "Pulse".
Make
Shorting each terminal with terminal C enables “Mute”, and opening them disables “Mute”.
Pulse
The “Mute” function is enabled and disabled alternately whenever each terminal is shorted
with terminal C.
- Channel selection
Selects the channel of the group for which the output volume is adjusted or output is muted. If
optional output modules are used to expand the output, the expanded channels can also be
selected for the group.
- Disable
Clicking the Disable button located on the upper right of the screen makes it impossible to
perform control from the DQ-C01. Note that out of controls performed before the Disable
button was pressed, memory numbers are maintained. However, both the output volume
adjustment and output muting are cleared. To make their control possible again, click the
Enable button.
53
Page 54
Each Function Setting
1. Memory Selection
(A) Direct Mode Memory Selection
Select arbitrary memory numbers (1 - 16) and assign them to the terminals.
(1) Set Mode for “Direct.”
(2) Set Function for “Memory.”
(3) Set memory numbers 1 - 16 at Parameter.
(B) Binary Mode Memory Selection
When selecting 9 or more memories with a single DQ-C01 unit but the number of function
terminals is insufficient, you can increase the number of memories to be selected with the
small number of terminals by selecting Binary Mode.
(1) Depending on the number of memories to be used, set mode of necessary terminals to
"Binary".
Number of memories
to be used
Terminals to be set for
Binary Mode
Memories 1 and 2 Terminal 8
Memories 1–4 Terminal 7 (and 8)
Memories 1–8 Terminal 6 (7 and 8)
Memories 1–16 Terminal 5 (6, 7 and 8)
(2) Register the function into "Memory".
54
Page 55
(Note)
(1) When performing Memory Selection using Binary Mode, the terminals set for Direct
Mode can only select volume adjustment or muting settings.
(2) The memory number to be selected has been pre-determined depending on the
status provided to terminals of Binary 3–0.
55
Page 56
2. Output Volume Adjustment
Give an offset value for the output attenuator’s set value.
(Note)
(1) The volume adjustment is only possible for the units in which the DQ-C01 is installed.
(2) Set output channels as a group and adjust the volume for individual groups.
(3) For the channels included in a single group, the unit’s output attenuator’s value is not
identical, but the offset value to be given is identical.
(4) When the same channel is included in 2 different groups, the offset value to be given to
that channel is the result of adding up the values of each group.
(5) The adjustable range is the value that can be registered into the output attenuator (0 dB
to -
∞ dB).
(6) The given offset value is cleared if the power is switched off.
(A) Volume Adjustment in Direct Mode
Assign the group’s Volume Up or Volume Down function to the terminal.
(1) Set Mode for "Direct".
(2) Set Function for Volume Up or Down.
(3) Select the variation step from among 1 dB step, 3 dB step and 6 dB step.
(4) Click the channel whose volume is adjusted at Channel Select.
56
Page 57
(B) Volume Adjustment in Binary Mode
When adjusting the volume of 5 groups or more using a single DQ-C01 unit, if the number of
terminals is insufficient, by selecting Binary Mode, the number of volume adjustment groups
can be increased with the small number of terminals.
(1) Depending on the number of groups for which the volume is adjusted, set the necessary
terminals to the Binary Mode.
Number of Groups Terminals to be set to
Binary Mode
Up/Down for up to 3 groups Terminal 6 (7 and 8)
Up/Down for up to 7 groups Terminal 5 (6, 7 and 8)
Up/Down for up to 10 groups Terminal 4 (5, 6, 7 and 8)
(2) Set Function for Volume.
(3) Select the variation step from among 1 dB step, 3 dB step and 6 dB step.
(4) Click the Group Setting button to channels for each group.
(Note)
(1) The group number for which the volume is adjusted has been pre-determine
depending on the status to be provided to terminals of Binary 4-0.
(2) When carrying out the volume adjustment using the Binary Mode, the terminals set for
Direct Mode can be only used for Memory Selection or Muting settings.
57
Page 58
3. Output Muting
(1) Set Mode for "Direct”.
(2) Set Function for "Mute”.
(3) Select the control method from Make and Pulse.
(4) Click the channel you wish to mute at Channel Selection.
(Note)
(1) Output Muting is only possible for the units in which the DQ-C01 is installed.
(2) For the channels for which Muting has been enabled by means of setup software,Muting
cannot be disabled at the DQ-C01.
(3) Switching off the power cancels the muting carried out at the DQ-C01.
