User manual SONY DPS-V55

[. . . ] Before using this unit we do recommend taking a glance at the "Functional Hierarchy" chart on page 5 and reading "Understanding Effect Algorithms and Program Structures" on page 8 to familiarize yourself with the unit. "Hooking Up" shows you how to make different kinds of connections between this unit and instruments, mixers, and/or components. The following icon is used in this manual: The DPS-V55 is outfitted with four inputs (and outputs) and can route the input signals in a variety of different ways depending on the chosen effect algorithms and program structures. The DPS-V55 incorporates a total of 45 different effect algorithms divided into three different types: 4ch, 2ch (stereo), and Mono-Pair. [. . . ] before you turn on the connected components Be sure to turn the volume level down to avoid an unexpected output of massive volume. You can also search programs by effect type If an input level indicator lights red (clip), the input level for that channel is set too high. Be sure to set the input level correctly since it has a direct relationship to the quality of the effects (see page 6 for details). During play mode the display provides various information about the selected program The bypass function allows you to output the original signal without adding any effects. This function can also be set to completely cut (mute) the sound output from the processor (see page 18 if you want to switch to muting). 1 Program number and name: The number (001~400) and name of the current program . (Blank) : FxA is off 3 FxA effect number: The number (01~45) of the effect assigned to the current program's FxA block. The effect numbers correspond to those printed on the front panel to the left of the display. When a 4ch effect is assigned to the FxA block, the FxB effect number and the structure symbol do not appear in the display. Press again to cancel and output with effects. 4 Structure symbol: "/" (Parallel) : To use FxA and FxB separately (the illustration shows a parallel structure). Note: this is not possible if you select a 4ch effect (01~09) in the previous step. This function lets you choose the structure of the effect blocks. Note, this setting is only possible when you have selected effects for both FxA and FxB. (It is not possible when using 4ch effects). Use the following procedures to: · Turn an effect on or off, · Repeat steps 1 and 2 to change all necessary parameters. And / at the same time to skip to the next parameter group instead of switching parameters one at a time. The structure symbols correspond to those printed on the front panel below the display. / : Parallel Allows you to use FxA and FxB separately. With this structure, channels 1 and 2 are processed separately from channels 3 and 4. M : Serial Allows you to feed the output of FxA into FxB for additional processing. With this structure, channel 1 is mixed with channel 3 and channel 2 is mixed with channel 4. [. . . ] 2 Press EXIT to return to the play mode or press EDIT PARAMETER ?2 Press EXIT to return to the play mode or press EDIT PARAMETER ?The system set up parameters let you to select how the BYPASS button and TAP function parameters will operate. For example, you can set BYPASS mute the output of the processor instead of passing the input signal. [. . . ]
