Dynacord DMM 4650 Stereo System User Manual


 
Sum level
Confirming “sum level” with the soft key “ok”, enables the setting of the digital audio control “SUM” (see
audio functions). Using the cursor keys this value in “dB”-steps can be changed and is effective at the
audio output in stand-by mode (no sequence running); presuming that the bypass relay is off.
A currently running sequence can change the SUM setting. Anyway, when this sequence is finished
(stand-by status), the level that was selected previously in this menu is automatically reestablished. The
EXIT key switches to the prior menu level.
Attenuation
Confirming “attenuation” with the soft key “ok”, provides the possibility to set an attenuation level in the
range of 0 dB to 10dB for the following audio signals: “Alarms”, “Gongs”, and “Announcements”. The
setting effects all audio signals of the corresponding group.
This menu provides the opportunity to match the DMM 4650’s output level to different amplifiers and
loudspeaker systems. The EXIT key switches to the prior menu level.
init DMM 4650
Confirming “init DMM 4650" with the soft key ”ok", the message “DMM 4650 init sure?” and the soft keys
“y=yes, n=no” appear on the display. If this menu item is confirmed with “yes”, the safety query “sure?”
appears again, before a complete initialization of the DMM 4650 to its factory default is performed. All
user settings are lost!!! Important user presets, stored in the unit, should be transferred into a PC in
advance, as described in the menu “backup”.
The contents of preset memory (EPROM) and message memory (Flash) are deleted or reset to their
factory pre-set defaults (see list Factory presets). The number of sound memories is detected automat-
ically. At the end of this procedure the number of bad flash memory blocks is indicated. Afterwards the
display shows “Soft Reset” together with soft key “ok”. After pressing this soft key the initialization process
is complete.
The start “init DMM 4650" is reserved for basic software updates and for applications where the unit is
used differently.
format Flash
Confirming “format Flash” with the soft key “ok”, the message “format Flash, bank X’” and the soft key
“ok” appear on the display. A bank number can be selected using the cursor keys and “ok”, together with
the question “sure?”, are displayed in order to avoid inadvertent formatting. Formatting deletes all the
audio data of the selected memory chip!!! Important message data that is stored in the unit, should be
saved in advance (“message edit play all”, or “System setup back up”). After starting the procedure with
the soft key “ok”, the memory chip passes different tests. Faulty blocks are marked and upon conclusion
of the tests their number is indicated on the display.
This menu item is necessary for the installation of memory extensions (NR 90205) into the DMM 4650
and updating the internal message management. The sound memory bank 0 is firmly soldered at the
circuit board (Pos. U135). Bank 1 is the retrofit pcb at position CN110, bank 2 = CN111, and bank 3 =
CN112. After inserting the board and starting the“format Flash” procedure, the newly installed message
memory is accessable. In case several extensions are installed, it is necessary to individually format each
one them.

space of the sound memory in % appear in the display.
