Chapter 1 Introduction Welcome to Dolby® file‐based audio! The Dolby DP600 Program Optimizer is a result of Dolby Laboratories’ continued leadership in the development of innovative broadcast technologies. The DP600 provides a file‐based work‐flow solution for loudness correction, audio conversion, and upmixing. It is specifically designed for use in cable, satellite, IPTV, terrestrial TV, radio, and postproduction facilities.
Introduction Customers interested in enhancing two‐channel audio for use in 5.1‐channel applications can purchase an optional DP600 software upgrade that adds an intelligent file‐based upmixing capability. This unique process is based on a newly developed Dolby algorithm that creates a wider, natural‐sounding sweet spot. It also ensures that subsequent downmixing is free from artifacts typically found with other solutions.

Chapter 3 System Maintenance This chapter explains how to maintain the Dolby® DP600. The sections that follow show you how to diagnose and repair hard drives and power supplies. 3.1 Maintaining the DP600 Hard Drives The DP600 has five physical internal hard drives. Drives 1 and 2 are arranged in a RAID 1 configuration to provide protection for the operating system as well as local storage. The remaining three hard drives are configured as separate drives to provide local storage.
System Maintenance Table 3‐1 shows the LED conditions that specify the failed drive. Table 3-1 Local Storage LED Conditions Front-Panel LED 1 1 Failed Physical Drive Solid red Blinks in red in two‐second intervals Blinks in red in half‐second intervals Solid red Solid red Solid red 1 2 3 4 3.1.1 Condition 1 2 Rebuilding RAID 3 4 5 Replacing a Drive To replace a DP600 hard drive: 1. Look at the front‐panel drive LEDs, then refer to Table 3‐1 to determine which drive has failed.
Maintaining the DP600 Hard Drives 2. Swing the touch‐screen panel out to the left. Figure 3‐2 Figure 3-2 Swing Out Touch-Screen Panel 3. Locate the small pry areas on the left side of the front‐panel drive cover.
System Maintenance 4. Using your fingers or a cushioned screwdriver, gently pry off the drive cover from its left side (the other side is a slotted lock), and remove it from the unit. Be careful not to drop it, as the panel is deceptively heavy and will come off suddenly once the locking mechanism disengages. Figure 3‐4 Figure 3-4 5.
Maintaining the DP600 Hard Drives Starting from the left side of the drive cage, the first slot contains physical drive 1 (RAID drive 1). The second slot contains physical drive 2 (RAID drive 2). Starting with the third slot, physical drives 3, 4, and 5 are installed next, in that order. In this example, RAID drive 1 is the failed drive that requires replacement. Figure 3‐6 shows how the drives are numbered from left to right (numbers do not appear on the actual unit). Figure 3‐6 1 Figure 3-6 6.
System Maintenance 7. Be sure that no work order is running, then grasp the replacement drive’s finger tab, and firmly but gently slide the drive into its slot (see Figure 3‐8) until you feel resistance, which indicates that the drive is seated in its socket. You can replace a drive with a higher capacity unit but not with a lower capacity unit. Figure 3‐8 Figure 3-8 8.
Maintaining the DP600 Hard Drives 9. Reinstall the drive cover by positioning it so that the mounting tang on the right side of the RAID bay inserts in the mounting slot on the rear of the drive cover. To do this, hold the drive cover so that there is an approximately 10‐degree angle between the cover and the front of the unit, as shown in Figure 3‐10. Figure 3‐10 Figure 3-10 Reinstall Front-Panel Drive Cover 10.
System Maintenance If you replaced one of the RAID drives (physical drives 1 or 2): • Use the arrow keys on the keyboard to select (highlight) the available drive, then press the space bar to select it. • Use the arrow keys to select the RAID marked as degraded, then press the space bar to select it. • Press the key to select Maintain Unit, then press . • Use the arrow keys to select Rebuild in the pop‐up menu, then press .
Replacing a DP600 Power Supply 3.2 Replacing a DP600 Power Supply The DP600 requires only one power supply; a second unit is provided for backup. If a problem occurs with either of these power supplies, the power failure indicator LED on the front panel flashes red (see Figure 3‐11) and a warning alarm sounds. The Dolby catalog number for each of your DP600’s power supplies is identified by a label affixed to the right side of each unit.
System Maintenance 2. Press the red Power Supply Alarm Reset button to turn off the warning alarm, then disconnect the power cable on the failed power supply and loosen the unit’s thumbscrew by turning it counterclockwise, as shown in Figure 3‐13. Figure 3‐13 Press Alarm Reset button Disconnect power and loosen thumbscrew WARNING Risk of electric shock. Do not open. 100–240Vac 3.0–1.25A 50/60Hz This equipment must be earthed/grounded.

Replacing a DP600 Power Supply Figure 3‐15 Figure 3-15 Remove Failed Power Supply 4. Position the replacement unit squarely within its slot and push it along the guiding surface until it snaps into place, as shown in Figure 3‐16.
System Maintenance 5. Tighten the thumbscrew by turning it clockwise, and reconnect power, as shown in Figure 3‐17. The replacement unit LED turns green and the front‐panel red LED turns off, verifying that the new unit is functioning correctly. Figure 3‐17 Tighten thumbscrew and reconnect power Figure 3-17 New Power Supply Installed and AC Cable Reconnected 3.3 Upgrading/Installing the DP600 Software The DP600 packing kit includes a DP600 Installation Software DVD.
Upgrading Licenses Although the touch screen was calibrated during the manufacturing process, you may need to recalibrate. If the touch screen calibration setup appears, as shown in Figure 3‐18, you need to follow steps a–d, below, within approximately 30 seconds. If you do not proceed within this time period, the calibration screen disappears. If the calibration setup does not appear, proceed directly to step d, to complete the upgrade or clean installation.
