You may use either the left or right channels for sending and receiving monaural audio to
the VSX 8000. For stereo operation, both the left and right channels must be used.
Please follow our instructions for wiring the Vortex device to the codec (See the section
W
IRING FROM VSX 8000 TO VORTEX DEVICE). Failure to do so may induce him and ground
noise into the signals sent and received from the codec.
ENABLING THE VSX 8000 TO WORK WITH A VORTEX DEVICE
1. Connect a video monitor to Video Output 1 of the codec.
2. On the VSX 8000 User Interface, go to SYSTEM, ADMIN SETTINGS, AUDIO SETTINGS, and select NEXT for
Page 2. Select the L
INE INPUT option for the Input Type. Set the Level setting to 5.
3. (Optional) Enable the VSX 8000 to control the Vortex Device by setting Serial Port 1 or Serial Port 2
to Vortex Mixer. In the VSX 8000 User Interface, go to S
YSTEM, ADMIN SETTINGS, GENERAL SETTINGS,
SERIAL PORTS. For the appropriate port, select VORTEX MIXER for RS-232 Mode. Verify that the baud
rate of the VSX 8000 matches the baud rate of the Vortex Device. See the page C
ONTROLLING A
VORTEX DEVICE VIA THE VSX8000 for more information.
4. Once that is completed, make sure that the Codec Input to the Vortex Device is assigned to the
appropriate AEC Reference signal if the VSX 8000 will be used in Mono mode (Standard AEC
Operation). If using InstantDesigner to create the configuration settings for the Vortex, the
reference will be set automatically. For Stereo Mode, please refer to the S
TEREO AEC OPERATION
section of the Vortex/VSX 8000 Integration Application Note.
