8200 Version 3.0 Manual Addendum

New Format Presets

Insert the following page, titled "New Format Presets In Version 3.00," into
your 8200 Operation Manual, in Section 3, directly after the blue-tabbed
"About Processing Structures" page, at page 3-9.
There are 21 new format-specific presets, each named for a programming
format. There are two Urban/Rap presets, for instance, that add bottom-end
slam to the sound. Three new Rock presets add punch and sizzle while Adult
Contemporary and Country presets balance warmth and clarity, with up-front
vocals that stand out. There are also presets for Pop, Classical, Instrumental,
Jazz, Folk/Traditional, News, and Sports. There are even two Oldies presets
that ensure consistent sound balance with material from different eras.
Programmed by Bob Orban and Greg Ogonowski, each preset has full
LESS-MORE capability.

Multi-Band Controls

Insert the following "New Multi-Band Features For Version 3.00" pages into
your 8200 Operation Manual, in Section 3, at the end of the discussion on
"The Multi-Band Structure," directly preceding the red-tabbed "Screen
Displays" page.
New controls include: High Frequency Coupling, Multi-Band Output Mix
controls, Bass Clip Threshold, and Phase Rotator In/Out. The range for the
existing Final Clip Drive has also been extended.

D-O Status Enable?

[Yes] or [No]
For 8200s equipped with the 8200 D/SRC, the 8200's controls now include a
switch that allows you to defeat Orban's special implementation of AES/EBU
status bits which are used to control Orban 8208 and 8218 Stereo Encoders.
This special implementation may be defeated to accommodate certain digital
STLs that misinterpret these status bits.
Beginning with V 1.20 software and revision 3.0 of the 8200D/SRC Digital
I/O board, the 8200 set the emphasis bits in the AES/EBU status bits (byte 0,
bits 2 through 4) according to an Orban proprietary standard that extends the
AES/EBU official definition. The Orban standard allows the 8200 to
automatically set the 8218 (and 8208) Stereo Encoder's emphasis/de-
emphasis to complement the 8200's emphasis/de-emphasis.
