Enabling the Optional Stereo Enhancer Algorithm
The Omnia 4.5fm contains an optional Stereo Enhancement (StereoEFX) option which may be
enabled by purchasing it when the unit is ordered from your dealer, or at any time afterward if you
so choose. StereoEFX increases the stereo sound field in an intelligent manner, providing a
bigger sound on the dial. The algorithm is fully mono-compatible, and does not generate
unwanted artifacts during the enhancement process.
To enable the option, a 6-symbol decryption key must be purchased from your Omnia dealer or
directly from Omnia. The decryption key is then entered into the "Enable Stereo EXP" dialog box.
Each decryption key is unique to each Omnia 4.5 unit, and the key is only valid for one calendar
day. Once the algorithm has been enabled, it is enabled for the life of the unit, or until the front
panel software is upgraded. Providing your unit's serial number at the time you purchase the
option guarantees that it will continue to function if you ever choose to upgrade the unit's
software.
You will need to provide three things at the time the key is purchased:
1. The serial number of the Omnia 4.5.
2. The unit's MAC address from the rear panel (12 digit number that begins with 0050c24...)
3. The System Date as displayed in the System Menu or in the "Enable StereoEXP" dialog box.
Once you have obtained the key by purchasing the option, you enable the Stereo Enhancement
algorithm as follows:
1. Unlock the unit at Level 3;
2 Navigate to the Process Menu and open it;
3. Navigate to the Enhance Submenu and open it;
4. Navigate to the Enable StereoEXP button and click on it;
5. Enter the 6-digit authorization key in the dialog box. Note that the key is case sensitive, and
may contain both numerals and upper and lower case letters.
6. Once the code is entered, click on the Checkmark button. If the code was entered correctly, a
message box should display "Stereo EXP has been enabled!" Your Stereo Enhancer option is
now enabled for the life of the unit.
Special Note: The StereoEFX decryption code is generated by a special key
generator using your Omnia 4.5's unique network MAC address and its system
date as an input to the algorithm. Therefore, the decryption key is valid for one
calendar day. When you purchase the key, you must install and enable the
option while the calendar day you provided when the key was purchased is still
valid in the unit!
