Optional Board Installation
1. Remove the two coin screws securing the unit’s top
panel. Remove the top panel.
2. Remove the three screws holding down the circuit
board securing fittings, then remove the fittings.
Unplug the two SDTI flat cables from the IF board. 

Be sure to note the connector locations so you can
reconnect them properly when reassembling the
unit later.
3. Connect the connector panel (packed together with
the optional board) to the optional board.
4. Connect the unit’s rear panel connector and the
optional board. Insert the optional board into the
unit.

Confirm that the rear panel connector channel
matches the channel of the slot into which the
optional board is inserted.
5. Reconnect the two SDTI flat cables to the IF board. 

Make sure the cables are plugged in at the correct
locations. 
6. Remount the circuit board securing fittings with the
three screws and reattach the top panel. 

Be sure to secure the top panel in place using the
coin screws.

Four optional boards are available.
1. Analog I/O board (AJ-YA7000P)
2. Analog out board (AJ-YA7200P)
3. SDTI I/O board (AJ-YAC7000P)
4. SDI I/O board (AJ-YA7100P)
(The analog out board is required for the SDI I/O
board.)
The above four boards can be installed for any or all
of the four channels.  The installation locations are
described below.
Attach the connectors for connection with the rear
panel to the slots marked “F3” on the AV block, and
then insert the boards.
The number and types of connectors differs
depending on the type of board concerned.
Consult your dealer for details on setting and
installing the optional boards.
