Getting Started
Here’s what to do:
(If the unit does not behave the first time you power up – contact your re-seller
or dCS.)
do this: Check the appropriate mains supply for your local mains is marked on the rear
panel.
do this: If it is, connect the unit to a power outlet using the cable supplied - connect no
other leads at this stage - and switch on. The Power LED will light, then the
screen will light up and display:
After approximately 20 seconds, the front panel LEDs will indicate the last
stored state and the Unlocked LED will light. The screen will then display the
Status Screen, for example:
do this: Connect a signal source to an appropriate input: AES 1, 2, 3 or 4, SPDIF1, 2 or
3 or SDIF-2 CH1 IN, CH2 IN & WCLK IN.
We recommend an AES3 source into the AES 1 input until you are comfortable
with the unit. The procedure below assumes you have connected your source to
the AES 1 input.
