Introduction
1.1 About the DM100
The Dolby DM100 is a hand-held diagnostic tool that can
monitor or generate Dolby Digital, Dolby E, and PCM
bitstreams. The unit allows audio systems integrators and service
engineers to quickly test the integrity and composition of these
signals throughout a facility. The DM100 is intended for use in
broadcast, cable, DBS, and post-production facilities, as well as
DVD mastering and home theater installation.
The DM100 accepts input signals via XLR, BNC, and Toslink™
connectors. The unit identifies the format of the input signal and
activates the appropriate built-in decoder. The decoded analog
signal, sent to a standard 1/8-inch stereo headphone jack, can be
switched to monitor any two decoded channels, while a small
built-in speaker can monitor the sum of any channel pair. A
front-panel LCD displays Dolby Digital and Dolby E metadata
information. Six front-panel LEDs indicate critical bitstream and
system status information.
A set of Dolby Digital, Dolby E, and PCM test bitstreams is
stored in internal, nonvolatile RAM, and can be changed in the
field via software download. The selected test bitstream is
produced simultaneously on all output connectors. The unit can
receive and decode an input signal while generating a test
bitstream. The DM100 also features a pass-through mode that
allows modification of the input signal’s AES channel status bits
before passing the signal to the output connectors. (The input
signal can be monitored simultaneously.)

Getting Started
2.1 Power
The DM100 is powered by four standard AA 1.5 V batteries or
from an external 6V, 800 mA DC power supply via the power
input connector. The internal batteries are disconnected when
the external DC power supply is used.
Battery Installation
Push the cover as
shown, and slide
out.
Insert four AA
batteries with
alternating positive
terminals, and
replace the cover.

Dead Battery…
[Power] Button
To turn on the DM100, press and hold the [Power] button down
for two seconds. The display reads as shown for approximately
one second while a self-test diagnostic runs.
The power-on process ends with the DM100 operating in the
last-used state. If the diagnostic test fails, the Error LED lights
and an error message is displayed.
To turn off the DM100, press [Power] again. The display reads
“Power Off,”and the unit shuts off.
Battery Low LED
The front-panel battery LED flashes when the
battery voltage drops below 4.3 V. If the
battery voltage drops below 4.1 V, the
DM100 display reads “Dead Battery”and the
unit shuts off.
Auto-Power Off
When the DM100 is powered from the batteries (external power
supply not connected), the unit can be set to turn itself off after a
selectable number of minutes with no user activity (5, 10, 15, or
30 minutes). This feature can be disabled. The factory default
setting is 15 minutes.
The wait time is set from the Setup menu under System Settings,
Power Management. See section 4.6.
