OPTIMOD 6300 DIGITAL

AES Channel Status Bits Will Not Set the 6300 to Stereo or Dual-Mono Mode

Be sure that the equipment driving the 6300 is set in AES3 or AES/EBU mode. (SPDIF
will not work.) Similarly, you must set the 6300's digital output mode (via the DO1
FORMAT or DO2 FORMAT control) to AES in order to send AES channel status bits to
downstream equipment.

Equipment Receiving the 6300's AES Output Changes Operation Mode Unexpectedly

Some equipment will respond incorrectly to AES Channel Status and/or User Bits. Try
turning both of these off in the 6300. (See step 21 on page 2-18 and step 22 on page
2-19.)

General Dissatisfaction with Subjective Sound Quality

The 6300 is a complex processor that can be adjusted for many different tastes. For
most users, the factory presets, as augmented by the gamut offered by the L
M control for each preset, are sufficient to find a satisfactory "sound." However,
ORE
some users will not be satisfied until they have accessed other Modify Processing
controls and have adjusted the subjective setup controls in detail to their satisfac-
tion. Such users must fully understand the material in Section 3 of this manual to
achieve the best results from this exercise.
Section 1 of this manual provides a thorough discussion of system engineering con-
siderations, particularly with regard to minimizing overshoot and noise.

Security Passcode Lost (When Unit is Locked Out)

Please see If You Have Forgotten Your Passcode on page 2-34.
Connection Issues between the 6300 and a PC, Modem, or Net-
work

Quick Setup: On the Station ID screen (Quick Setup 9): Use Escape in place of
Cancel. The Cancel button will not work.

Software Updates: Close any running Windows programs before attempting
to update.

Interrupted Software Updates: If you canceled an update before it com-
pleted, wait at least one minute before attempting your next update.

Software Updates via Modem: If you are updating via the modem, do not
change the "connection type" parameter on the 6300 while the modem is con-
nected or attempting to connect.

Security Passcode: An A
quired for upgrading, regardless of whether you are using a Direct, Modem, or
Ethernet connection.
