Operating instructions

AO 6008 Audio Output Unit

General description

The AO 6008 Audio Output Unit for the DCS 6000

system enables the user to record the sound from a

number of interpreted language channels or floor

channel on external devices such as tape- or hard

disk recorders by analogue interface.

It can also be used to distribute sound channels to

for example infrared distribution or loudspeaker

system.

Features

•Decoding of 8 language channels into analogue

audio chosen out of the possible 31 digital

channels as well as the Floor channel in 3

qualities.

•The 8 decoded channels are available on 8

analogue outputs (XLR connectors).

•A number of AO 6008 can be combined to

decode more channels. Up to 20 pieces AO

6008 can be connected and configured in one

system to decode more channels.

•User control of the AO 6008 by using the

buttons and display on the front or by sending

commands and reading status from a PC via CU

6010.

•The unit is connected to the bus as any other

unit and by controlling it from the CU 6010 it

can be placed anywhere in the system.

•The user can set up the desired languages and

volume settings, read error status, load/save

settings and view information about the unit.

•A headphone connector on the front of the unit

enables the user to check the sound from the

analogue outputs. The sound is routed from the

XLR connectors through an analogue switch to

the headphones.

User controls, indications & connections

Front plate layout

The front plate layout of the AO 6008 Audio Output Unit consists of a large illuminated LCD display and 8

buttons for setting up/controlling the unit:

A: 12ALB E: 13DAN

B: 14ENG F: 1FIN

C: 15NORG: 2SWE

D: 0FLO H: 3POL

Menu Enter

Front plate controls

The AO 6008 Audio Output Unit features the

following controls and displays.

LCD Display

The display is a multi line, dot matrix, back lit,

LCD display. It is possible to view the language

settings for all 8 channels simultaneously. By

navigating a menu structure the user can access the

settings for a particular channel.

Buttons

Eight push buttons are placed on the front of the

AO 6008 for changing the languages and volume

settings for the output channels as well as for

navigating the menu structure. The buttons have the

following general functionality:

•Four select buttons

Four buttons placed on the left-hand side of the

display. Each button is associated with a line

pointing towards a text line in the display. This

indicates, that pushing the button ‘selects’ the

functionality.

•Enter button

The Enter button is used, when a selection is made

in the Menu. Pressing the Enter button concludes

the selection made, and at the same time it indicates

a confirmation of the possible changes made within

the selection. The Menu system returns to the

previous menu. Notice, that some changes are

applied immediately, and confirmation is thus not

required.

•Menu button

The Menu button is also used, when a selection is

made in the Main Menu. The Menu button

concludes the selection, but in contrast to the Enter

button, the Menu button does not confirm a possible

change made within the selection. Instead, the

Menu system returns to the previous menu without

confirming changes, if confirmation is required.

•Up (▲) and Down (▼) buttons

In the normal operation display these buttons are

used to select the headphone monitoring channel. In

the set-up menu the Up and Down buttons are used

to leaf through menu items, or to increase/decrease

values within a selection

Danish Interpretation Systems User Manual

Manual 01 18 04440 9

Symbols

The following symbols are used on the LCD

display:

‘-‘

The dash symbol (‘-‘) preceding a line of text

identifies a submenu or a changeable parameter.

The submenu or parameter can be selected by

pressing the corresponding select button.

‘>’

The ‘>’ symbol preceding a line of text identifies a

selected parameter. The parameter can be changed

by pressing the up and down buttons. The ‘>’

symbol is shown as long as the value of the

parameter currently used is the same as the value

shown in the display.

‘▲▼’

The up and down symbols shown in the right side

of the display (up is shown in the first line and

down is shown in the last line) indicates that the

current menu consists of more than 4 menu items. It

is therefore necessary to use the up and down

buttons to leaf through menu items.

Connectors

Headphone Connectors

A mini jack and a standard jack are located on the

front plate for connecting a headphone for listening

to the Floor language or one of the interpreted

languages.

Audio Output A to H

On the back are located 8 XLR 3P connectors, each

supplying transformer balanced audio signal from

each of the 8 channels.

The outputs can be used for tape recording purpose

i.e. or for connecting a digital infrared transmitter

like DT6008, DT 6032 or analogue infrared

transmitter IT 6108 for wireless transmission of the

interpreted languages.

DCS-LAN connector

Two RJ45 sockets are located at the back of the unit

for connecting to the previous unit like the CU

6005/6010 Central Unit or any other unit with a

DCS LAN connector and to the next unit like an IS

6132 Interpreter set, CS 6032 Channel Selector,

DM/CM 6xxx Conference Unit.
