Operating the system
Please push the
power
button on the front panel. The DAC is operational
after about five seconds. In order to switch off, please push again the
power
button.
Please turn the
input
switch (left knob) on the front panel to choose the
wanted input. The numbers one to six belong to the input number on the
rear panel.
The DAC uses a smooth input selection. In case of switching over the
input, first the outputs are turned off (muting), then the new input is
switched on and finally the outputs are activated.
Please turn the
filter
switch (right knob) on the front panel to choose the
wanted filter. The numbers one to six belong to the six different filters.
For details please refer to the next chapter.
The DAC uses a smooth filter selection. In case of switching over the
filter, first the outputs are turned off (muting), then the new filter
program is loaded and finally the outputs are activated.
Please push the
phase invert
button on the front panel to invert the phase
of the output signal. This may be necessary for some compact discs. The
activated phase inversion is indicated by the green LED next to the
button.
The LEDs (Light emitting diodes) in the middle of the front panel show
the sampling frequency of the chosen signal-source and, if necessary, the
activated de-emphasis. The DAC automatically detects the sampling
frequency and necessary de-emphasis.
