Autodisco's Control Box

  

The heart of the lighting control system, this control box receives commands from the computer and switches on, or off, the various lighting effects. Provided with 8 switches, (one for each lighting channel), the lights may be set on (by placing the switch UP), off (by placing the switch in the MIDDLE) or under computer control (by placing the switch DOWN).

Note that in the case of channel 2 (the four colour sound to light unit), placing the switch up will turn the light OFF, leaving it in the middle allows the light to work, and placing down allows computer control. 

Note also that if the switches are set to the UP position (Manually switching the lighting ON) and the computer sends a command to turn a light on, the effect will be that the computer will actually turn the light OFF.
