The system will not mechanically load the tape into the system
•
Push the cassette tape completely into the DV-2000 MTS/LR.
•
Verify that the AC-DC power adapter is plugged into non-switched AC power outlet.
•
Verify that the power connector is plugged completely into the jack on the DV-2000
MTS/LR.
The system ejects the tape immediately after it is loaded.
•
If in Append & Replace mode and the memory is full.
•
If in Append & Replace mode and all of the messages are used.
•
If it is an endless loop tape.
The Record LED never comes on after the cassette tape is loaded into the system
•
Verify that the tape was inserted right side up.
•
If the tape is blank, the Record LED will never come on.
•
Verify that the nominal level of the Audio recorded on the tape is over –20dB.
After recording the tape, the tape ejected, and the system is not playing a message.
•
Pressing, and holding the edit/eject button while recording will eject the tape immediately.
•
Verify that the tape was inserted right side up.
•
If there is no audio on the tape, it will eject automatically when it reaches the end of the
tape.
Can't hear anything from the audio output
•
If both Record and M-O-H LEDs are off, there is no audio being output by the system.
•
Verify that the RCA to RCA connector is securely attached to the DV-2000 MTS/LR and the
phone system.
•
Turn the output level adjustment clockwise to increase the Audio output level.
•
Use the 8 ohm output instead of the line level output.
Can't hear anything through the monitor speaker
•
If both Record and M-O-H are off, there are no recorded messages on the system.
•
Press the Speaker button so that it locks in the depressed position.
•
If the audio output is adjusted low, the level from the monitor speaker will also be low.
The system didn't record all the messages on the tape
•
If there is noise in the silence portions separating the messages on the cassette tape,
multiple messages can get grouped into a single message location on the system.
•
If in Append/Replace mode, the tape has more messages on it than there are locations
enabled or available on the system.
6. Audio Tape Production Format:
•
Messages must be recorded on the left channel or track A.
•
The length of individual messages do not have to be the same, but the total length of all
messages should not exceed the total memory capacity of the unit.
•
The silence portion between messages is not included in the maximum recording time.
•
The audio should be set to a nominal level of 0VU = -4dBm.
•
For best results, the audio should be filtered to cutoff any frequencies higher than 6.8kHz for
the PRO version.
•
The dynamic range of the production should be held low so as to allow the production to be
recorded at the highest possible level without exceeding +5VU = +1dBm.
The system requires 1 seconds of constant audio at a level greater than -20dBm for the
system to acknowledge the production and start recording. This is required so that the
system can discriminate between tape noise and message material.
