AFT660 Afterburner & AFT660PnP Digital Plug 'N Play

SECTION 7

Introduction

The Afterburner Digital Plug N’ Play is a digital player
interface port compatible with DTS-6, DTS-6D, Dolby
DA-20, and Sony SDDS digital players.   The AFTPnP
has 4 sets of ports located on the front side that each
interface with a specific brand of player to allow for
quick connect and disconnect of a mobile digital
system.  Additionally, the interface is integrated with
the AFT660 Afterburner to control excessively loud
sound that has been a problem with digital soundtracks
(Please see the Afterburner AFT660 manual for further
details).

Both 6 channel audio and format control signals are
routed through the system and out through a 25 pin D-
Type subminiature connector that is pin to pin compat-
ible with SMART MOD2 and MOD6 processors.  An
additional D-type connector is provided for extra signals
such as mute, left extra and right extra (for 8 channel
systems), and mono surround.  Jumpers are provided for
hard selecting of SR or A-type optical tracks.

The Afterburner Breakout board cannot be used with the
Afterburner Plug 'N Play.

For DTS-6D and DA-20 roll around rack assemblies,
SMART offers optional Plug N' Play Rover Panels for
easy front mounted connect and disconnect.
