17. Ref B - Main Display
The DCD-8 has 2 separate domains, A and B. These domains are used to generate mul-
tiple rates simultaneously. Under most circumstances, both domains will use the same ref-
erence. Therefore, the default setting for Ref B (menu 22) is ‘USE REF A’. In this case, the
main display indicates REF, without differentiating between A or B.
If necessary, a separate reference can be selected for domain B in menu 22. In essence,
this would be separating the DCD-8 in 2 completely independent units.
The main display reflects this. However, the amount of information displayed is reduced,
due to the space available. Both references are displayed, but not their frequency.
Similarly, when displaying Off Speed condition (see chapter 11), the measured frequen-
cy, normally appearing on the bottom line, is not displayed.
In VSO mode, if the speed of Ref B is different than Ref A, the display indicates the infor-
mation for each reference on a single line.

18.2. MULTIPLIER RATES
Through WC outputs 7&8, the DCD-8 can apply a multiplier to the selected base frequency.
Here is a list of the available rates. An ‘X’ indicates this choice is not available.

18.3. ERROR MESSAGES
When a faulty value is selected, an error message is displayed as soon as the [
enter
] key
is pressed. Although the request is not granted, only the [status value] is adjusted, not the
selected value. Therefore, every time the [
enter
] key is pressed, the error message re-ap-
pears. To eliminate this, an ‘acceptable’ value must be entered in the proper menu.
Below is a complete list of all the error messages generated by the DCD-8 along with a
description and the menus concerned.
NOTE: These messages appear on the LCD display for about 3 1/2 seconds and may be
cancelled by any key press.
• ERROR: Same audio source both domains
Same audio (group) cannot be source to both domains (see menus 06 & 07).
NOTE: the DCD-8 considers all AES & S/PDIF as a single source, as far as the audio
router is concerned
• ERROR: ADAT input selected but not available
Can’t choose ADAT as audio source when optical connectors switched to Optical S/
PDIF (see menus 06, 07 & 31)
• ERROR: AES 3 input selected but not available
Can’t choose AES3 as audio source when optical connectors switched to Optical S/
PDIF (see menus 06, 07 & 31)
• ERROR: Optical input selected but not available
Can’t choose Optical S/PDIF as audio source when optical connectors switched to
ADAT (see menus 06, 07 & 31)
• ERROR: Optical reference not available
Can’t choose Optical S/PDIF reference when optical connectors switched to ADAT
- may occur when switching the optical input from Optical S/PDIF to ADAT (see
menus 02 & 31)
• ERROR: Optical choice prevents reference select
Can’t choose ADAT or AES3 reference when optical connectors switched to Optical
S/PDIF - may occur when switching the optical input from ADAT to Optical S/PDIF
(see menus 02 & 31)
