Operation
The DVA-2W is designed to be recorded from a tape player or live from a microphone. The DVA-2W will switch to
record mode when a 1/8” audio plug is inserted into the TAPE/MIC IN jack. A single message may be recorded using
the automatic record feature, or multiple messages may be recorded using the manual START switch. There is no
defined limit (other than maximum record time) to the number of messages which can be recorded.
When the 1/8” audio jack is removed, the DVA-2W is ready to play. Momentarily press the START switch on the front
panel or a remote switch connected to the CC and COM terminals to initiate a single playback. Messages will playback
one at a time in the order in which they were recorded. Continuous looping playback is achieved by strapping CC to
COM. Delays between messages are selectable in 15, 30 or 60 second increments. Audio from the auxiliary source will
fade out before message playback and fade in during the delays.
If multiple messages are required, the manual record mode must be used.
C. Manual Recording From a Tape Player
Important: The internal shunt must be in the Tape position (see Installation for details).
Use an Electret or
Dynamic type
microphone with a
1/8" audio plug such
as Radio Shack part
# 33-1060, # 33-
