Data transfer from receiver to receiver
Data transfer from receiver to receiver
Your receiver is able to accept data from another receiver via the RS232C socket.
For this purpose, the two receivers are mutually connected via a zero modem ca-
ble. The transmitting receiver is the master, the receiving receiver the slave.
Preparation
The master and slave are first switched to standby mode and then disconnected
from the mains by pressing the power switch.
The data sockets (Item 6, rear of receiver, Page 8) of both receivers are connected
with the zero modem cable.
The master is then switched on again.
Transferring programme lists
Simultaneously press the ç button (arrow left) and SELECT under the front
panel of the master to transfer the programme list.
The slave can now be switched on. The transfer procedure begins.
While loading, the display of the master shows "t001 t002 .. t00n“ while the slave
correspondingly shows "r001 r002..r00n“.
The LED display shows "----" during block transfer.
The loading procedure was successful if both receivers show the message "Succ."
Transferring operating software
Follow the same procedure as described above for the purpose of transferring op-
erating software.
Start transfer of the operating software by simultaneously pressing the è button
(arrow right) and SELECT under the front panel of the master.
While loading, the display of the master shows "t001 t002 .. t00n“ while the slave
correspondingly shows "r001 r002..r00n“.
The LED display shows "----" during block transfer.
The loading procedure was successful if both receivers show the message "Succ.".
Should transfer problems occur, "F * * *" will appear in the master display where *
stands for a numerical value. In this case, check the cable connection and start a
new transfer attempt.
The data transfer from receiver to receiver as described above must only be car-
ried out with devices of the same type as otherwise malfunctions or total loss of the
operating software may occur.
On no account must the receivers be switched off or the connection interrupted
during data transfer. This may otherwise result in data loss, malfunctions or total
failure of the operating system.
In all cases wait until the "Succ." or "F * * *“ message appears on the display.
You can download new operating software as well as a new programme list at our
