How Do I tell the Current Status of
the DVM2?
Your DVM2 has 7 status LED’s on the front panel. Shown below are the
locations of these LED’s, and this manual has a table in the Front Panel section
describing what each one of these means.
How Do I Make the DVM2 Play a File
Right From the Factory?
The DVM2 comes with
6 demo video clips
already on the hard
drive! Make sure the
red DIP Switch #1 is
ON, so it is in contact
closure mode. Simply
grab your nearest
standard-sized paper
clip and plug it into
holes 5 and 24 on the Discrete Control port on the back of the DVM2. You can
do this whether the power is on or off. Refer to the picture and DON’T PUT
THE PAPER CLIP IN THE WRONG HOLES! Some of the other holes will
play the other files. Please read the Discrete Control section for further details.
This is not the only way to play a file. (You can also serially control the DVM2,
but that is a little more advanced. See the Serial Control section)
