OMNITRONIC CMP-2000 [40/52] Set up

00074823.DOC, Version 1.0 40/52

5. SET UP

Installation

Install the control unit and the player mechanism unit on a plane surface or in your rack. For 19" (483 mm)

rack installation, 2 units are required each. You can fix each unit with four screws M6 in the rack. The player

mechanism unit must be operated in a horizontal position. The control unit may be installed in a tilted

position for better handling. When choosing the installation spot make sure that there is enough space

around the units for ventilation or that heated air from the rack can be passed on to improve heat radiation.

Steady overheating will damage the units.

Connections

Prior to connecting or changing existing connections switch off the CMP-2000.

1 Connect the control unit and the player mechanism unit with the supplied mini DIN connection cable.

For this purpose, connect the jack [CONNECT TO REMOTE CONTROL] of the player mechanism unit

to the jack [CONNECT TO MAIN UNIT] of the control unit.

2 Connect subsequent units with line level inputs (e.g. amplifier or mixer) via the supplied RCA cables to

the RCA outputs on the player mechanism unit. Make sure that the right/left occupation is the same at

the devices.

3 The player mechanisms of the CMP-2000 can be started or set to pause via an external mixer with

fader start function. Use the supplied mini jack cables to connect the outputs [CONTROL START UNIT

1] and [CONTROL START UNIT 2] to the corresponding input on the mixer.

Please note that the fader start function only works with compatible mixers (e.g. MX-540 and EX-820).

Mode of operation: The mixer has to be connected via a 3.5 mm jack with the CMP-2000. For starting the

playback, the jack's positive pin (tip) is to be connected with the audio mass via a short impulse. For pausing

the playback, the jack's negative pin (sleeve) is to be connected with the audio mass via a short impulse. The

mixer has to be equipped with a switch, button or fader that will connect the tip with the audio mass of the

CMP-2000 for starting the playback and the sleeve for pausing the playback when the respective channel

is activated.

4 Use the supplied power cable to connect the CMP-2000 to the mains (100-240 V AC, 50/60 Hz).
