input No. 3 will then
be a balanced line
level input.
Use Audio Input No.
4 to connect to an
external microphone
amplier or to an
external mixer.
Use Audio Input No. 5 to
connect to external playback
devices or to telephone add-on
hybrids. For systems congured
with stereo I/O, connect the
VCR/DVD left channel to this
input.
Use Audio Input No. 6 to
connect a VCR or DVD
player to the system. For
systems congured with
stereo I/O, connect the VCR/
DVD right channel to this
input.
TIP! Audio inputs Nos.
5 & 6 are not equipped
with acoustic echo
canceller. Connecting
microphones to these
inputs can therefore
not be recommended.
TIP! Unused, but
connected audio inputs
should be set to O to
avoid unwanted audio/
noise.
TIP! Audio signal levels
expressed in volts
and dBu can be found
overleaf.
Use Audio Output No.
2 (the AUX output) to
provide a mixed signal
consisting of audio from
the local side (AUX input
not included) and audio
from the far end.
This output should be
used when connecting a
telephone add-on system.
For system congured with
stereo I/O and with SPDIF†
active on Audio Output No.
1, this output will provide
the VCR left channel stereo
information.
For systems congured
with stereo I/O, stereo
speakers and SPDIF† not
active, this output will
provide the right channel
of the loudspeaker signal
(the left channel will be
provided on the Audio
Output No. 1).
Use Audio Output No. 3
(the VCR output) to provide
a mixed signal consisting
of audio from the local side
(VCR input not included)
and audio from the far end.
This output should be used
when connecting a VCR to
the system.
For system congured with
stereo I/O and with SPDIF†
active on Audio Output No.
1, this output will provide
the VCR right channel
stereo information.
For systems congured
with stereo I/O, stereo
speakers and SPDIF† not
active, this output will
provide the mix of left and
right channel of the VCR
out signal.

Use Audio Output No. 1 to
provide a mixed signal of audio
from far end and local external
devices connected to input 5 &
6, in addition to dial tones.
This output should be connected
to the local loudspeaker system,
which may, or may not, include
the TANDBERG Digital Natural
Audio Module.
For systems congured with
stereo speakers and SPDIF†
active, the left and right channel
of the loudspeaker signal will
both be provided on this output.
For systems congured with
stereo speakers and SPDIF†
not active, the left channel of
the loudspeaker signal will be
present on this output. The right
loudspeaker channel will be
provided on Audio Output No. 2.
†SPDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) is
used by the Digital Natural Audio module.
