indicator is not lit - if so press the
Power/Standby
button to return to normal operation. Alternatively, switch off, wait 10
seconds and switch on – Standby mode will be cancelled.
•
While locking to a source or changing some settings (e.g. Filter), the
microcontroller inside
Delius
is busy and will not respond to new commands
for a few seconds.
•
If the Mute fade-out rate is set to
Mute-Slw
, the unit may be unresponsive
for a few seconds while slow muting is in progress (see page
•
Short mains supply drop-outs may cause the microcontroller to lock up.
Switch off the unit, wait 10 seconds then switch on again. If this does not
clear the fault, please contact your dealer.

If you are using
Dual AES
mode, ensure that
AES 1
input is connected to
the output on the source equipment carrying the Left channel data (probably
labelled AES1 or AES A) and the
AES 2
input is connected to the output on
the source equipment carrying the Right channel data (probably labelled
AES2 or AES B). See the manual for the source equipment for information,
and also page
One audio output channel is low or absent

If this fails to correct the problem, the De-Emphasis flags in the data stream
may be incorrectly set (this is rare but it does happen). To find the correct
De-Emphasis characteristic, change the De-Emphasis setting to
50/15
