Monitor Fine Tune

Here is a method of fine tuning the Hitachi TFT monitor that is part of the R-1
system. This procedure will assure that you are getting the best performance that this
monitor can provide.
There is a floppy diskette labeled 'Utility Disk for Windows' that shipped with the
Hitachi monitor in the bag with the monitor manual. This diskette contains a test
pattern file the monitor can use to automatically optimize its settings.
To view the test pattern on the monitor screen:
Insert the diskette in the Pilot Computer floppy drive.
Double click on the Floppy Drive icon.
Double click on the Testpat.exe icon.
On the Hitachi monitor, press the Menu button.
Use the > button to scroll to Auto Adjust.
Press the + button. The program will take 10 seconds or so to adjust the monitor
settings. During this time, the menu will disappear.
When the menu reappears, the adjustment is finished. Click anywhere or press
any key to exit the test pattern.
Close the Floppy Drive Window and Remove the floppy diskette.

Safe Mode

The Windows operating system has a feature called Safe Mode that is designed to
warn users about possible Windows configuration problems. In Safe Mode, the Pilot
computer uses only the minimum necessary resources to run until the problem can be
resolved. You will not have access to CD-ROM drives or printers while in Safe Mode.
Safe Mode can be recognized by a change in screen resolution that will make all the
objects on the screen appear larger and blurry. If Safe Mode is encountered, we
recommend turning the Pilot off and back on per the Power Down and Power On
instructions below. This will often resolve a Safe Mode issue. If this fails to start
Windows in normal mode, contact Euphonix R-1 Support: (425) 485-3132.

Power On Sequence

Euphonix recommends that when powering on the R-1 system, that the Studio Hub
and the Audio Deck be powered on at roughly the same time as the Pilot computer.
This will ensure that the Pilot's operating system will recognize the Euphonix
components attached to IEEE 1394 with minimal 1394 bus resets. There is no actual
requirement for any particular boot sequence. Be sure that the video monitor has
been turned on. The video monitor may display the message No sync signal when
initially powered up.
