5.4 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE FOR CROWN/OMNIA DP3 In the unlikely event that you should encounter problems with your Crown/Omnia DP3, below is a short guide that might aid in more common problems that could occur. Problem Possible Solutions 1) Cannot connect to DP3 via ETHERNET port. a) Comp uter is not configured correctly to talk to the DP3. Consult ‘Network Configuration Guide’ for instructions for setting up the computer ETHERNET card (static IP address).
Problem Possible Solutions 3) When trying to get into the remote control panel, the web browser closes, or the remote program does not start. Java Run Time Environment is not installed or is not enabled. Install a Java Run Time Environment on the computer that is being used to connect to the DP3. Sun Systems JRE 1.4.2 is an example of a program that works well with many operating systems. 4) The processor doesn’t seem to have the desired sound. a) Check the preset that the card is set to.
5.3 Guide for adjusting processing parameters of the DP3 First let’s talk about the presets. In general, the preset names are not meant to limit their application, but to suggest the overall character of the sound and recommend possible starting points. They tend to provide processing that will work for a “typical” example of that format in a “typical” radio market. But, every market is different, and an audio processor is meant to allow every user to achieve the sound that suits them best.
5.3.1.3 Turn up the Clipper control. 5.3.1.4 A combination of all of the above! Sounds crazy, but it’s true! In this situation, resist the temptation to make too many changes at once. When that occurs, it becomes difficult to determine why, or why not, an adjustment made sense. Let one specific area at a time be the main focus. After that area is satisfactory, then move the focus to another area, as needed. 5.3.
