User manual RANE CP 62

[. . . ] OPERATORS MANUAL CP 62 COMMERCIAL PROCESSOR QUICK START This unit packs a lot of features, so let's start by just getting some music running through it. Make all connections with the power amplifiers off. The CP 62 must be earth grounded for safety and correct operation. Connect a wire to the grounding screw (near the POWER input jack) to a known earth ground. [. . . ] Normally, this switch should be in the "grounded" position. In some circumstances, the opposite position eliminates stubborn hum and buzz problems. Always turn your amplifier down before switching your grounds. POWER input connector: This product requires a Rane RS 2 power supply. This calls for an 18-24 VAC center-tapped transformer. Consult the factory for replacement or substitution. Chassis ground point: The CP 62 must be earth grounded. This screw allows attachment of a wire, allowing a secure electrical connection to the chassis of the CP 62. See the CHASSIS GROUNDING note on page Manual-8 for details. Manual-3 CP 62 CONNECTION This section covers the most basic of systems. This product is very versatile, so variations on system hookup are encouraged to get the most out of your application. The CP 62 chassis must be earth grounded via a wire connected from the chassis ground screw on the rear of the unit to a known earth ground. When first connecting the CP 62 to other components, leave the power supply for last. That goes for the power in all other components of the system as well. This allows you to connect the cables and make sure they are correct without damaging your speakers, ears and nerves. PROGRAM INPUTS 1-3 The program inputs are conventional unbalanced RCA phono jacks. Connect these inputs to any line level signal source such as a CD player, cassette player, AM/FM stereo tuner, VCR audio outputs, VDP audio outputs, TV audio outputs or music service. LINE 4/PRIORITY INPUT This input uses the same connector as inputs 1-3 above but with a priority function. When signal appears at this input, the CP 62 automatically switches internally from whatever PROGRAM INPUT is selected on the front panel to the LINE 4/PRIORITY INPUT. An AUTOMATIC PRIORITY OVERRIDE switch on the rear panel determines which zone(s) this input overrides. When the line 4 signal is absent for more than 30 seconds, the CP 62 automatically switches back to the previous signal source and slowly fades the audio level from silence to normal volume (nice touch, eh?). It can be used for Jukeboxes or any intermittent music source that gets turned on and off. Some examples of intermittent sources would include compact disc players, cassette decks or karaoke. [. . . ] The ampere rating for tinsel wire is too low, affecting system remote reliability. Maximum cable distance from the CP 62 is 200 feet. Install a modular handset connector on each end of the telephone cable, taking note of wire colors as shown in Figure 4. Special crimp hand tools and the connectors may be purchased at commercial telephone supply outlets. [. . . ]
