1 INTRODUCTIONWelcome to the future of digital audio for the radio industry. This User’s Guide is yourhandbook for the X-Digital PRO4 digital audio receiver. This receiver is equipped todeliver multiple audio services in high quality digital audio for your radio station. It hasbeen designed to make use of all the digital communication features of today, and to beupgraded to take advantage of the technologies of tomorrow.1.1 Important InformationThroughout this guide, you will find icons designed to help you quickly spot importantinformation:Note!The note icon identifies information for the properoperation of your equipment, including helpful hints,shortcuts, or important remindersCaution!The caution icon identifies information that requirescareful attention in order to prevent equipment damage.Warning!The warning icon identifies a procedure or practice thatcould result in personal injury if not performed correctly.1.2 Hardware UpgradeabilityX-Digital Systems, Inc. can upgrade its main control software and audio decoderalgorithms over-the-air. This ensures that your receiver will always have the most up tothe minute features and functionality.1.3 Hardware VersatilityThe XDS PRO4 can deliver audio received via satellite over any one of its four balancedoutput ports. Additionally, content can be received and stored locally for later use. Thiscontent can originate from a real time satellite broadcast, from a high speed satellite IPdistribution channel, or can be retrieved via the Internet over the Ethernet port, if soconfigured.1226 R830002-1060Rev AXDS Pro Users Guide2/12/2008

1.4 Network Management SystemThe PRO4 satellite receiver has been specifically designed so that its output can becontrolled via one central web application. This application is called the NetworkManagement System, or NMS. From the NMS, the receiver can be monitored andmanaged, and the user can set a schedule of live and delayed programs for each outputport. The NMS will also coordinate file transfers to store sound, data, or hardwareupdates directly to the PRO4’s internal hard drive. The NMS will also come equippedwith an advanced event logging system ensuring that any technical problems will beaccompanied by a full history so that causes of problems may be easily identified andeliminated.1226 R830002-1060Rev AXDS Pro Users Guide2/12/2008

2 GETTING STARTEDPlease take a few minutes to read through the User’s Guide prior to setting up and usingthe unit. If you are in a hurry, there is a Quick Start section below, but please be sure toconsult this section at your earliest convenience.2.1 Unpacking the ReceiverUpon receiving your PRO4 Receiver, ensure that all of the necessary parts have beenincluded.2.1.1 List of ContentsTable 1 lists the items included in the PRO4 shipping box.ItemReceiverPower CordQuick Start GuideInstallation Kit (Optional)Quantity1111Table 1. Packaging List2.2 Safety PrecautionsCaution!The following sections provide a list of general hazards to beavoided for safe, reliable use of the PRO4 receiver.2.2.1 Excessive TemperatureThe PRO4 receiver has been designed to operate safely and reliably in an ambienttemperature of 0 C to 50 C. We expect the system to operate without a need for a fan inair conditioned locations. The fan will be electronically controlled via temperaturesensor. This will allow the unit to operate under less than optimal conditions. However,once the receiver is located in a closed or rack environment, the ambient temperature maybe greater than room temperature. Please take this into consideration when installing thereceiver, making sure that the ambient temperature around the receiver does not exceedthe temperature range 0 C to 50 C.1226 R830002-1060Rev AXDS Pro Users Guide2/12/2008

2.2.2 Proper VentilationAir vents on the side and rear of the receiver are provided to ensure proper air flowthrough the receiver unit. In order to ensure proper operation the PRO4 receiver shouldbe located such that its ventilation is not impeded. In a rack environment, at least twoinches on the sides and at least 5 inches in the rear should be provided. Proper ventilationwill help ensure the receiver performs both safely and efficiently.2.2.3 Heat, Humidity, and DustIn order to avoid unnecessary internal damage, avoid placing the receiver next to externalheat sources such as heaters, direct sunlight, heating ducts, etc. Also avoid locations ofhigh humidity, dust, and vibration.2.2.4 Power Cord CablingAvoid running the power cord across places of high traffic where it can be crimped ortripped over. Make sure the cords are securely fastened to both the wall outlet or powerstrip, and the back of the receiver. Do not place objects on or leaning against powercords.2.2.5 Proper GroundingWhen the receiver is installed, make sure that the antenna and coaxial cable are properlygrounded to avoid static build up and voltage spikes which may occur due to lightning orother types of power surges. Proper earth grounding of the rack system should bemaintained at all times, with special attention paid to any connections which go throughpower strips.Warning!Make sure all power strips are properly grounded.2.2.6 Circuit OverloadingThe PRO4 receiver can draw up to 0.5 Amps at 120VAC as indicated on the back of thereceiver. When adding the receiver to an already existing rack setup, take care to ensurethe maximum current rating of the circuit is not exceeded.1226 R830002-1060Rev AXDS Pro Users Guide2/12/2008

2.2.7 Foreign ObjectsWarning!Inserting any type of foreign object into the ventilation holes of thereceiver can result in shock or serious injury of the operator.If a foreign object is inserted into the receiver, immediately power down the receiver andcontact X-Digital Systems technical support. Do not open the receiver, as doing so willvoid the receiver’s warranty.2.3 Physical Installation of the ReceiverThe following section will guide you through the physical installation of the PRO4receiver. The receiver should be installed in a standard 19-inch rack.2.3.1 Rack Mounting the ReceiverThe PRO4 receiver has been specifically designed to fit into a 19-inch rack. There arefour screw holes provided on the front panel to directly mount the receiver in the rack.All four screws must be in place after installing the receiver.Caution! Do not paint mounting ears; it hinders the grounding path fromthe receiver to the rack.2.3.2 Uneven Loading of RackWhen installing the PRO4 receiver into a rack, make sure to place heavier pieces ofequipment on the bottom and lighter pieces on the top.Caution! Uneven loading may cause the rack to be unstable andhazardous.2.4 Connecting the Receiver to a Satellite DishThis section contains information required for connection your PRO4 receiver to asatellite hookup.1226 R830002-1060Rev AXDS Pro Users Guide2/12/2008
