Talkback

There are two possible talkback paths with the R-5 console: CR to
STUDIO and STUDIO to CR.
In the first, CR to STUDIO, the announcer mic channel's pre-fader, pre-
on/off signal is routed to the console's studio output whenever the
momentary action TB switch is pressed. Naturally, in order for this to work
the studio output must be operational; in other words, the STUDIO level
control must be turned up, and the studio microphone channel must be
OFF (if it were ON the studio speakers would be dimmed or muted). To test:
1) With the STUDIO level control set at its normal level (hopefully 6 or 7;
see page APPENDIX, page A-3) press and hold the console's TB button and
2) Speak into the console operator's (announcer) mic. Your voice should
come out over the studio monitor speakers. If the level is too loud or too
soft, adjust the front panel trimpot just above the TB button until it is the
way you want it.
In the second instance (STUDIO to CR TB), a microphone input channel
(presumably the console's second one) assigned to a studio microphone
has a remote momentary closure switch connected to that channel's TB-
to-CR control port. When the (user-supplied) talkback button in the studio
is pressed the studio microphone's pre-fader, pre-on/off signal is placed on
the console's CUE bus, where the console operator can hear it on the built-
in cue speaker (or anywhere CUE interrupt is programmed to occur). The
level of the interrupt is determined by the CUE level pot; the studio mic
fader setting has no effect on the talkback level.

Tape Remote Controls
Assuming you have wired up this switchbank per the console pinouts
called out on page 7-4 and in conjunction with the manufacturer's
information for your specific machine, verify each control function by
activating individual switches. Note, again, that each switch's LED indicator
must be powered by the external machine; there are no internal power
connections from the console.

Timer

When the console is initially powered up, the digital timer display will
energize immediately. After this first power-up, it may be necessary to hit
the RST (reset) button and/or S/S (start/stop) buttons in succession to zero
out the timer counter. Once this is done the timer will be fully functional
thereafter, with controls operating as follows:
S/S (START/STOP) – If the timer counter is stopped, pressing this button
once will cause it to start. If the counter is active, pressing this button once
will cause it to stop.
RST (RESET) – When pressed, resets the timer to zero. If the counter is
running, the display will immediately start to count up. If the counter is
stopped, the display will remain at 00:00.
