This section guides you through setting up the unit for basic operation. You may
find this useful if you have not used the dCS 974 for a while.
Preliminaries
The Quick Start Guide sheet details the menu structure and outlines the use of
the front panel controls. For more information, see Navigating through the
Menu – what the On-Screen symbols mean on page 36 and The Software –
Menu and Setups on page 34. We will be changing settings in either the
Sample Rate Conversion menu or the Format Conversion menu. Use the
rotary control to scroll up and down the screen and the Operation buttons to
change menu levels or select items.
Connect up with cables designed for digital audio:
• for AES/EBU interfaces use 110Ω screened, twisted pair cables fitted with
one male XLR connector and one female XLR connector.
• for DSD/SDIF or SPDIF BNC interfaces, use 75Ω coax cables fitted with
BNC plugs.
• for SPDIF RCA interfaces, use 75Ω coax cables fitted with RCA Phono
plugs.
• for SPDIF TOS interfaces, use Toslink fibre-optic cables.
Power up the unit and wait for about 20 seconds while it configures itself. The
screen will show:
Press the Recall button. When the screen displays the Recall Setup list, press
the Recall button again to change to the preset setup list, then press the Enter
button. Wait while the unit loads the default setup (Store A) then displays a
Status screen similar to this:
The Power and Unlocked indicators should be lit, the other indicators should
be off.
