Mis-synchronization due to Additional Signal Connection

If a signal cable is additionally connected to the current input
format, or if all connectors are disconnected and then re-
connected, the phase-level synchronization of the input signals
will be lost. In this case, the following screen appears on the LCD
to alert the operator, since the signal synchronization cannot be
obtained on the destination machines, even if there are no
audible problems. When this screen is displayed, press the
ENTER key to reset the synchronization circuit and to return to
the proper operation status.

operations of the FS-96 can be locked by holding the ENTER
key down in the initial screen. The following appears when the
operation is locked.

KEY LOCK SCREEN

To release the key lock, simply hold the ENTER key pressed until
the LCD shows the initial screen.

Considering Signal Delay

Since the FS-96 handles all audio signals in digital fields, please
be aware that some delay is applied to all signals by passing
through the FS-96. Although the amount of signal delay varies
due to the signal formats, normally the delay between the input
and output will be 2 to 3 samples.
