4 5 8 7
2.1 FRONT PANEL
1, Controls INPUT 1 / INPUT 2
These adjust the input level of the DDL 204 to adapt the
unit to different sound source output voltages. The input
signal can be raised by 6 dB (control fully right) or
attenuated infinetely.
2, Level indicators INPUT 1 / INPUT 2
These are for modulation monitoring, as the peak value
of the input level is indicated. Another feature is the peak
hold function which facilitates easy level matching. Ad¬
just the input controls so, that the level indicators remain
at 0 dB. The CLIP LED's should never light up, because
otherwise the unit is overdriven internally.
3, Multi-functional display
This is a LC display involving 2 lines with 16 characters
each. In PLAY mode the program number and delay
configurations forthe outputs 1 - 4 are indicated. In EDIT
mode the parameter name and a graphic and numeric
parameter value are indicated. Depending on the current
status OPTION menus, status messages, user guide
messages etc. appear.
4, Status/Mode LED’s
These LED’s indicate the DDL 204‘s current status. If the
LED EDIT lights up, the EDIT mode is indicated. The
LOCK LED indicates, that the DDL 204 is in the write
protected mode and that no key inputs are possible. The
BYPASS LED indicates the BYPASS mode of the unit.
The LED’s MONO 1-IN-4 or STERO 1-IN-2 light up
depending on the actual configuration (see chapter 6
"DELAY CONFIGURATIONS AND PARAMETERS").
5, EDIT Key
This key changes the operation to EDIT mode. After
pressing this key, the first parameter of the active pro¬
gram is shown. Further parameters are accessible via
the SELECT keys. The value of the parameter shown
can be changed via the rotary encoder.
For further information please see "EDITING", chapter
5.2.
6, SELECT Key <
In play mode this key selects the previous memory place
(activation via ENTER). In edit mode it is used for se¬
lecting parameters (always the previous parameter).
7, SELECT Key >
In play mode this key selects the next memory place
(activation via ENTER). In edit mode it is used for se¬
lecting parameters (always the next parameter).
8, STORE Key
With this key the edited programs can be saved in any
memory place (No. 01 - 30). For further information
please see chapter 5.3 "SAVE AND COPY"
9, OPTION Key
This key allows access to the OPTION mode where
special settings forthe unit can be made or checked. For
further information please see "OPTION-FUNCTIONS”,
chapter 7.
10, BYPASS Key
With this key the DDL 204 is switched to BYPASS mode,
i.e. The inputs are then passed through directly to the
appropriate outputs according to the current configurati¬
on.
See also chapter 5.4 "BYPASS OPERATION".
11, Rotary Encoder with ENTER key
In play mode a program is selected by turning the
encoder and activated by pressing the encoder REN¬
TER). In the Edit mode the parameter values are altered
with the encoder. The parameter alteration is faster if the
encoder is turned and pressed simultaneaously. Ge¬
nerally speaking the encoder serves for fast one-hand
operation of the DDL 204. For further information please
see "OPERATION" on page 5-1.
12, Rotary controls OUTPUT 1-4
With this controls the output levels of the channels 1 to
4 can be adjusted and the DDL 204 adapted in this way
to the operating levels of subsequent devices. The out¬
put signal can be raised by 6 dB (control fully right) or
attenuated infinetely.
13, POWER switch
This key is used to switch the DDL 204 on and off.
