1. SOFTWARE OUTLINE

This setting software is designed to be installed in a PC and used exclusively for performing the settings necessary for operating the VM-3000 system.

Settings are roughly divided into system configurations, failure detection points, broadcasting sound source priorities, broadcast zones, and function assignment to the control inputs and remote microphone keys. This software also features a Log function that integrates event log data from the VM-3240VA or VM-3360VA into a PC and displays such data, as well as an Error List function that shows discrepancies in set data.

Loading the PC-set data into the VM-3240VA or VM-3360VA allows the VM-3000 system to operate according to the configured settings.

2. NOTES ON PERFORMING SETTINGS
