USER'S MANUAL bit One HD /
WARNING: a PC provided with Windows XP, 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.
1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The bit One HD 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 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.

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.

5. CONNECTIONS
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 PC software (see section 7.4.1).
The bit One HD is on when the Audison logo lights up in blue. After receiving the turn on input the bit One HD takes
6 seconds to start working. It can be turned on / off in the following ways:

WARNING: when connecting a laptop PC via USB cable to the bit One HD while the device is turned on, the laptop has
to work with its own battery, keeping it disconnected from the mains adapter (external power supply).
Once the connection between the laptop PC and the bit One HD is established, you can immediately connect
the computer, if necessary, through the mains adapter.
Remark: the bit One HD uses HID drivers already integrated in Windows. For this reason, they are not included in
the CD and will always install automatically.

USER'S MANUAL bit One HD /
7. bit One HD SETUP WITH PC
To adjust the bit One HD functions a software is required. The processor needs to be connected to the PC and
turned on. After installing the software, start it by selecting the icon shown on your desktop.
To select the startup mode select the corresponding entry on the drop down menu, then press ENTER or double click on
the bit One HD image.
Here is how the bit One HD software appears when started in OFFLINE mode
In this case even if the bit One HD processor is connected to the PC, it does not interact with the software.
The OFFLINE mode can be used to work on the software to get familiar with the processor multiple functions
without connecting the bit One HD to the PC. For more information on the specic functions see section 7.2 (TARGET mode).
The software is pre-set to start with a 3-way + stereo Sub active multi-amplied system.
To set a new “virtual” system, and so to change the inputs and select the outputs, the function I/O Conguration Wizard
in the “Cong” window of the software main menu needs to be selected.
Follow the same instructions as per TARGET mode (see section 7.2.).
The rst window is the startup page where one of the following modes needs to be selected:
- OFFLINE mode, bit One HD not connected;
- TARGET mode, bit One HD connected;
- RESCUE mode, bit One HD connected for Update/Rescue (see section 9.4).

USER'S MANUAL bit One HD /
When starting up, if correctly interfaced to the PC
(with software and drivers properly installed), the
software will appear on the screen as shown in the
images.
If, once the scanning is completed, the bit One HD can not be found
(Fig.3):
-check if the bit One HD is on (check if the Audison logo is lit up);
-check if the USB cable is properly connected;
-select OK to search again for the bit One HD;
-select CANCEL to start the OFFLINE mode.
7.2 TARGET MODE
In this case the bit One HD processor must be connected to the PC and turned on, otherwise the software won’t even
show the TARGET entry as selectable on the startup window.
At this point you need to have in mind the system you want to develop beforehand, since from this moment, to
change any of the settings you will have to go through the guided procedure all over again.
More specically the guided procedure will request:
-Which are the main inputs to be used (high or low level). This choice will not prevent the user from adding
auxiliary low level or digital sources. The guided procedure changes according to the selected choice.
-If the product will be turned on through “HI LEVEL TURN ON” (ART).
-Which auxiliary inputs will be used (e.g.: AUX or OPTICAL IN ).
-Which kind of signals will be allocated to the main inputs (e.g.: Front Left or Center or Subwoofer etc.).
-Which speakers are installed in the system (e.g.: 3-way Front or stereo Sub or 2-way Rear etc.).
-If the system features passive crossovers managing speaker groups (e.g.: 3-way system with active mid-low).
-If the system features any speaker connected through the AC Link.
WARNING: during this procedure the bit One HD RCA / AD LINK - AC LINK outputs to the ampliers should be
disconnected.
