PANASTEREO CX230 CINEMA MONITOR
CX230 INSTALLATION con't
CONNECTING THE MONITOR SPEAKER OUTPUTS
Use medium gauge (minimum 0.75mm2) twin polarised wire (figure 8) between each of the
monitor speaker outputs and the monitor speakers. The monitor speakers can be 8 or 4 ohms.
If you are using only one speaker, connect it to the left channel output and set the
"MONO/STEREO" switch at the back of the monitor unit to the "MONO" position. Otherwise
ensure that the "MONO/STEREO" switch is in the "STEREO" position.
CONNECTING THE SERIAL INTERFACE TO A COMPUTER AUTOMATION SYSTEM.
Use 4-core shielded computer or audio cable. The CX230 is configured as a DCE device (Data
Circuit Terminating Equipment), i.e. pin 2 = transmit data out and pin 3 = receive data in. Connect
one conductor to pin 2 , one to pin 3 and one conductor to pin 5 (ground). The fourth conductor
can be left unused or also connected to pin 5 (ground). Solder the cable shield to the body of the
D-connector plug.
If the connection is to a DTE device (Data Terminal Equipment) such as a PC or the Panalogic
RC140 automation unit, the cable should be wired pin-for-pin (i.e. pin 2 to pin 2, pin 3 to pin 3, and
pin 5 to pin 5). If the connection is to another DCE device, pins 2 and 3 must be crossed over
(reversed) at one end.
SETTING THE OPTIONS WITH THE VIRTUAL DIP SWITCHES
The CX230 has a number of options which may be accessed using the following method:
Press and hold the "MIX" button for at least 2 seconds. The bargraph display will change to show
a red bar at the extreme right. At the extreme left of the bargraph display the first 4 green LEDs
indicate which options are set. To change an option, press the corresponding button to toggle the
LED on or off. For example the far left button "LEFT" will toggle the first green LED (option 1).
The next button "CENTRE" will toggle the second green LED (option 2) etc.
The available options are as follows:
Option 1 (LED 1) – Select 1.5 dB per division resolution for the bargraph meter. (Normal
Option 2 (LED 2) – Defeat compressor. The MIX compressor is bypassed at all times.
Option 3 (LED 3) – Defeat biamp mode. Pressing the LEFT, CENTRE or RIGHT buttons always
Option 4 (LED 4) – Disable selection of processor inputs. The "SOURCE" button is locked in
To exit the DIP switch mode press and hold the "MIX" button for at least 2 seconds. The red bar
at the right of the bar graph will disappear to indicate normal meter mode.
resolution is 3dB per division).
selects only the LF input.
"AMPS" mode. "PROC" cannot be selected.
