7.4. D-981, D-983, and D-984VC Control Modules Settings
7.4.1. General description of the D-981, D-983, and D-984VC
Notes
• The controllable channels from the contact input/output or VCA are limited to the unit's channel where the
control module is inserted.
• The D-2012C's function key can operate LED control for the multiple D-2008SP units, but the contact input
operation takes precedence when the target D-2008SP has been LED controlled with the contact input.
[Contact Input function and contact output function]
Installing the optional D-981 or D-983 Remote Control Module or D-984VC VCA Control Module into the D-
2008SP permits the D-2008SP's memory recall, volume Up/Down, channel ON/OFF, LED control and stereo
input selection (when the D-936R or D-937SP is installed) to be remotely operated by external equipment.
Also, the following statuses can be output to external equipment: D-2008SP's memory, channel ON/OFF,
stereo input (when the D-936R or D-937SP is installed), LED control, and contact input.
For the installation of each module, refer to the instruction manual included with the D-2008SP.
External remote control is performed by shorting terminals 1 – 8 (1 – 24 for the D-983) to the C terminal.
Taking the contact input setting as an example, when terminals 1 – 8 are assigned to preset memory Nos. 1 –
8 respectively by means of the memory selection function, if each terminal is shorted to the C terminal, preset
memory Nos. 1 – 8 can be recalled.
Terminals 1 – 8 are assigned as "Preset memory 1 – 8" for both the initial input and output settings. Other
contacts are assigned to "None" or "Normally break." By changing the settings on the contact input and output
setting screens, many different functions can be assigned to the contact input and output.
The control target range with the contact input differs depending on the assigned function. The following table
shows the control target range by the contact input.
[VCA Operation]
Connecting the D-911 VCA Fader Unit to the D-984VC VCA Control Module (optional) installed in the D-
2008SP allows the VCA box volume of any D-2008SP's channel to be adjusted with faders or volume
controls. By default, no function is assigned to the VCA terminal.
The following table shows the control target range by the VCA.
