a

LAMP jacks

These four 4-pin female XLR output jacks are used to supply power to optional Yamaha LA1L gooseneck lamps.

b

MIDI OUT/IN jacks

These connectors are used to transmit and receive MIDI messages to/from external MIDI devices.

c

GPI connector

This is a D-sub 25-pin female connector that allows communication (8-in, 8-out) with a GPI-equipped external device.

d

[FAN] switch

Sets the internal cooling fan to operate at either HIGH or LOW speed.

NOTE

  • This switch is set to LOW when the unit is initially shipped from the factory. As long as the unit is operated within the specified ambient temperature range either the LOW or HIGH setting can be used. The HIGH setting is recommended if the ambient temperature is high, if the unit is in direct sunlight even if the ambient temperature is within the specified operating range, and in any situation in which fan noise is not a problem.

e

[RESET] switch

Resets the control surface. Only the controls (screens, indicators, and control keys and knobs) on the control surface will restart without interrupting audio. Use this switch in case the control surface becomes non-responsive to your operations.

f

OMNI IN jacks

These are balanced XLR-3-31 female input jacks for inputting analog audio signals from line level devices or microphones.

g

OMNI OUT jacks

These are balanced XLR-3-32 male output jacks that transmit analog audio signals.

h

AES/EBU jacks（CS-R5）

Both input and output jacks feature built-in sampling rate converters.

IN

These are balanced XLR-3-31 female input jacks that accept digital audio signals in AES/EBU format.

OUT

These are balanced XLR-3-32 male output jacks for outputting digital audio signals in the AES/EBU format.

i

USB port

Use these ports to connect a USB storage device such as a flash drive, USB mouse, or USB keyboard.

j

MY card slots

Install optional Mini-YGDAI I/O cards here to expand I/O ports.

k

CONSOLE NETWORK OUT/IN connectors

These RJ-45 connectors allow the unit to be connected to a Console Network(*) in a ring topology via Ethernet cables (CAT5e or higher recommended).

  • Console Network
  • A DSP engine is equipped with a special control surface terminal to connect to a control surface. A network created by the control surface and a DSP engine is called a “Console Network.”

NOTE

  • Use an STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cable to prevent electromagnetic interference. Make sure that the metal parts of the plugs are electrically connected to the STP cable's shield by conductive tape or comparable means. The use of Ethernet cables with Neutrik etherCON CAT5 compatible RJ-45 plugs is recommended. Standard RJ-45 plugs can also be used. Cable length can span up to 100 meters between devices. Maximum practical distance may vary depending on the cable used.

l

ERR indicators

This indicator lights up or flashes red if an error occurs. In such an event, please contact your Yamaha dealer.

m

LINK indicator

This indicator flashes or lights up, depending on the network status.

Green (flashing)

The unit is preparing to connect to the console network. If it continues flashing, the system is not functioning properly. If the problem persists after you take the following actions, please contact your Yamaha dealer.

  • Make sure that the cables are connected properly.
  • Make sure that the cables are securely inserted (locked in).
  • Turn the power to the RIVAGE PM series system off and then on.
  • Change to a different cable.

Green (lit steadily)

The unit is connected to the console network properly.

n

TX/RX indicators

The appropriate indicator flashes green when data is transmitted from (TX) or received at (RX) the TO ENGINE OUT/IN connectors.

o

LINK/ACT indicator

This indicator flashes or lights up green, depending on the connection status.

p

NETWORK connector

This RJ-45 connector allows the unit to be connected to a computer or network device via an Ethernet cable (CAT5e or higher recommended).

NOTE

  • Use an STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cable to prevent electromagnetic interference. Make sure that the metal parts of the plugs are electrically connected to the STP cable's shield by conductive tape or comparable means. The use of Ethernet cables with Neutrik etherCON CAT5 compatible RJ-45 plugs is recommended. Standard RJ-45 plugs can also be used. Cable length can span up to 100 meters between devices. Maximum practical distance may vary depending on the cable used.

q

Vent

The control surface is equipped with cooling fans. These vents let warm air out from the unit. Please make sure that you do not block the vents with any object. The air intake is located on the bottom of the front panel.

CAUTION

  • Do not block the vents. This product has ventilation holes at the rear and under the front to prevent the internal temperature from becoming too high. Inadequate ventilation can result in overheating, possibly causing damage to the product(s), or even fire.

r

AC IN connectors

Use these sockets to connect the supplied power cords. First connect the AC power cords to this unit, and then insert the power cord plugs into AC outlets. Insert the cable plugs all the way until they lock in place securely. The supplied AC power cords feature a V-lock mechanism via a latch, which prevents the power cords from disconnecting accidentally.

CAUTION

  • Be sure to turn off the power to the unit before connecting or disconnecting the power cords.

To disconnect each power cord, remove it while pressing the latch on the plug.

s

[I]/[z](Power switches A/B)

Toggle between power on (I) and off(z). While the power is turned on, the aPOWER indicator on the top panel will light up.
