Crackles or pops occur while playing music
•
The source may have a high level of jitter. Try setting the
PLL
parameter to
PLL:Wide
. See page
•
The digital audio cable connecting
Delius
to the source may be damaged,
intermittent or of the wrong type. Some expensive cables are not correctly
designed for digital audio use. Try another cable.
•
The CD may be dirty - clean it very carefully using a radial motion.
•
The disk / tape may be damaged or contain corrupted data.
•
The audio output level may be enough to overload a preamplifier or power
amplifier.
Erratic operation when locked to 96 or 88.2kS/s on
Toslink
or
ST
inputs
•
Check your optical connections are clean and properly installed.
•
The Toslink and ST receiver devices are industry standard types which are
not guaranteed to operate correctly at 96 or 88.2kS/s. Connect to a different
input instead.
The unit will not decode Dual AES
•
Dual AES mode may be disabled. Open the menu and set the
Dual AES
page to
On
). Connect a valid 88.2, 96, 176.4 or 192kS/s Dual
AES source to both
AES 1
and
AES 2
inputs. Press the
Input
selector
button repeatedly until both
AES1
and
AES2
indicators are lit.
•
Your source equipment may have two AES outputs but might not be
capable of Dual AES operation. Check the manual for the source
equipment.
The unit drops out of Dual AES mode into
AES1
or
AES2
•
Dual AES mode is only available if AES data streams are available on both
AES 1
and
AES 2
inputs. If either of these are interrupted or become
corrupted while in
Dual AES
mode, the unit may default to single AES mode
and select the valid input. Check for faulty wiring to the input which has
been deselected. Once both data streams are stable again,
Dual AES
mode
may be selected using the
Input
button or the Remote Control. See page
•
If you are driving
Delius
direct from an Upsampler always set to output Dual
AES, you may find that changing inputs on the Upsampler causes
Delius
to
fall out of
Dual AES
mode. To prevent this,
Delius
may be locked in
Dual
AES
mode. Open the menu and page through until you reach the
Dual AES
page. Change the setting to
Lock
. Select
AES 1
or
AES 2
input on
Delius
and it will enter
Dual AES
mode automatically (see page
A digital recorder fails to record from the
REC
Output
•
If
Delius
is selected to an SPDIF input (
RCA
,
BNC
,
ST
or
TOSLINK
) and
the source data (CD for example) is copy protected, your recorder will be
prevented from recording the data. This prevents copyright infringement.
Note that AES data streams have no Copy Prohibit flag.
•
In some DAT machines, the digital input is connected directly to a digital
output without buffering. This arrangement does not comply with the
IEC60958 standard. Connecting another device to this may overload
Delius’
REC
output and corrupt the digital data.
•
The
REC
output is usable with single
AES
,
RCA
,
BNC
,
Toslink
or
ST
inputs ONLY.
