3. Select the language in which you want to work.
Like Henry Ford’s Model T (available in any color as long it was black), ver-
sion 3.0 offers any language as long as it happens to be English. We hope to
add more languages in future software revisions.
4. Set Time & Date.
A) Locate to the Time & Date screen (System Setup: Quick Setup 2).
B) Set the Clock Control to Internal or Line Sync.
Line sync uses the AC line as a reference. We recommend using Internal
sync for higher accuracy. (Internal sync uses the 8400’s crystal reference,
which is backed up by a battery so it always runs even when power is turned
off.)
C)
Set the Time Zone Offset to “0 hrs.”
D) Choose Time Format as desired (either 24-hour time or AM/PM-style time).
E) Set hours, minutes, and seconds, in that order.
Seconds will stop advancing when you set hours and minutes. So set sec-
onds last.
F)
Choose the desired date format.
G) Set today’s date.
H) If you want the clock to reset itself automatically to conform to Daylight Savings
Time (Summer Time), use the
Begins and Ends fields to specify when Daylight
Savings Time begins and ends in your area. If you do not wish to use this feature,
leave the
Begins and Ends fields set to Off.
5. Set Pre-Emphasis in Regional Settings screen.
A) Locate to the Regional Settings screen (System Setup: Quick Setup 3).
B) Select the pre-emphasis (either 75μS or 50μS) used in your country.
6. Set studio chassis mode.
A) Locate to Studio Configuration screen (System Setup: Quick Setup 4).
B) Set studio chassis mode.
Set the field to
Yes if you have a studio chassis (such as an Orban 8200ST
OPTIMOD-Studio, Orban 464A Co-Operator, or similar AGC) installed at
your studio feeding the studio-to-transmitter link. This setting appropriately
defeats the 8400’s AGC for all presets.
If you do not have a studio chassis installed, set the field to
No; this setting en-
ables the 8400 AGC status to be determined by the selected preset.
Most of the processing structures in the 8400 control level with a preliminary
AGC (Automatic Gain Control). If you are using a suitable Automatic Gain
