Look around to make sure no one catches you reading this.
You're aware this is the manual aren't you? Wow! Most people
only get about this far in a manual, but there are a few impor-
tant things you should know about the AVA 22d. So please keep
reading. These few points are summarized in this Cliff Note
version of the manual.
The first time you power the AVA 22d it is in BYPASS, and
functions like an expensive wire. This is useful for initial trouble-
shooting and allows for convenient verification of signal flow.
Punching the BYPASS buttons and extinguishing their LEDs
will activate the Delays.
ADJUSTING SENSITIVITY—First apply a signal with
nominal input level and adjust the SENSITIVITY controls so
the red CLIP LEDs just light, then back off so the LEDs do not
turn on, even with high signal peaks.
SETTING DELAY—Now that the input signal is cali-
brated, select LINK mode (LINK LED on) for stereo operation,
or turn off LINK mode for dual mono operation. Adjust the
up/down buttons until the LED display shows the desired Delay.
WEAR PARTS: This product contains no wear parts.

STORING DELAY—Press the STORE button (the
STORE LED turns off ). This stores the current Delay values
into each channel's current Memory (A or B). The current
Memory is indicated by the lit MEMORY LED for each chan-
nel. Both channel's current Delay values are stored with each
press of the STORE button. The broadcast Mode (NTSC or
PAL/SECAM) is also stored with the Delay value.
RECALLING DELAY—To recall a stored Memory, press
RECALL. Each press of this button alternately recalls stored
Memories (A then B then A...).
Never connect anything except an approved Rane power
supply to the thing that looks like a telephone jack on the
rear of the AVA 22d. This is an AC input and requires special
attention if you do not have a power supply exactly like the one
originally packed with your unit. See the full explanation of the
power supply requirements elsewhere in this manual.

    3 CLIP indicators: These red LED indicators illuminate 4 dB before clipping at the A to D converter input. 4 STORE indicator: This flashing LED indicator alerts the user that the current configuration of the AVA 22d is different from the stored configuration.
  • Page 3: Rear Panel Description

    4 POWER connector: No, this is not where commissioner Gordon plugs in his Bat-phone, in fact it is not a telephone jack at all. The AVA 22d uses an 18 volt AC center-tapped transformer only. Use only a model RS 1 or other remote AC power supply approved by Rane.
  • Page 4: User Information

    600 Ω systems must provide their own 600 Ω input resistor across the input terminals. This enables the AVA 22d to accept a +4 dBm input and allows delivery of +4 dBm to a 600 Ω load. Confusion among 600 Ω users of the AVA 22d may occur if one assumes the input and output impedances of the AVA 22d are 600 Ω...

    Once you've properly connected the AVA 22d to the system, Press the STORE button. The STORE LED turns off. This turn on the power. When the AVA 22d is first powered, the revi- Stores the current Delay values into each channel’s current Mem- sion level of the software is displayed.
