USER'S MANUAL
WARNING: a PC provided with Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8, operating system, 1.5 GHz minimum
processor speed and 1 GB RAM minimum memory, is required to install the software and setup
the bit One HD Virtuoso.
1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The bit One HD Virtuoso is a digital signal processor developed to obtain outstanding performance from car audio
systems.
The main features include 2 optical SP/DIF inputs, 12 analog inputs, 13 digital outputs and Hi-Res 24bit/96kHz
internal signal processing which, along with many other functions make it a powerful and versatile product, ready for
future evolutions.
To this end, several hardware updates have already been planned. These updates will enable the product to adapt
to future technological innovations, providing the ability of interfacing with OEM systems which, at the time of the
product conception, were merely hypothetical.
The all-round software and the endless dedication of the R&D team, aimed at improving and updating the product,
make the bit One HD Virtuoso the reference device on the market, keeping its leadership for many years to come and
rewarding the user with the quality of its sound and with a long-lasting investment.

USER'S MANUAL
2. PRE IN low-level MASTER inputs (see section 5.4.1)
Ch1 - Ch2 - Ch3 - Ch4 - Ch5 - Ch6
To connect RCA cables coming from the main analog signal source.
If these inputs are used, the MASTER SPEAKER IN inputs can not be used.
3. AUX auxiliary low-level STEREO inputs (see section 5.4.2)
To connect the RCA cables coming from additional analog signal sources.
4. OPTICAL IN digital inputs (see section 5.6)
Bit One HD accepts input PCM signals up to 192 kHz / 24 bit sampling frequency rate. So DOLBY DIGITAL
(AC3) multi-channel signals coming from audio/video sources (such as the audio of a lm in DVD) or DTS
can not be reproduced. These inputs can be selected using the external DRC control or activated using the
terminals (see section. 4.3.4).
OPTICAL 1. Connect an optical ber cable with TOSLINK connector
OPTICAL 2. Connect an optical ber cable with TOSLINK connector
Remark: when performing the installation of ber optic cables, the minimum bending radius should be 40 mm.
A bending with higher radius value may cause the cable to break and the consequent disruption of the digital
signal.

REMOTE TURN ON
1. Through the DRC MP main control switch (to turn on). Keep the DRC MP main control knob pressed (to shut
down). In this case no other Remote In connections are required, but they can coexist (see section 5.1).
2. By connecting the REMOTE IN terminal with a Remote Out signal coming from an after-market audio source.
3. Through the SPEAKER IN CH1-CH2. The AUTO TURN ON (ART) is activated by connecting the amplied
head unit output to the SPEAKER IN CH1-CH2 input channel. This function can be enabled/disabled using
the bit One HD Virtuoso PC software (see section 7.2.2.2).
The bit One HD Virtuoso is on when the Audison logo lights up in blue.
After receiving the turn on input the bit One HD Virtuoso takes 6 seconds to start working. It can be turned on / off
in the following ways:
