Enabling/Disabling Digital Outputs

The Wadia 581

i

Disc Player is designed in such a way that the unused digital outputs can be disabled. This can

result in slightly better overall performance. See your dealer for information about these internal adjustments.

TroubleShooting:

Lock-up

If the Wadia 581 Disc Player experiences a powerful static shock or sudden AC surge, it is possible to 
“lock-up” the computer circuitry. A locked-up computer may result in erratic display, no output, and no response
to remote commands.

If your Wadia 581 Disc Player should lock-up, unplug the AC cord. Wait at least 30 seconds before replugging in
the unit. If the unit still does not operate normally, contact your dealer.
