The unit is supplied with 19" rack mount ears fitted. If it is to be installed in a 19"
rack, the ears supplied may be used to locate it in the rack - but:
The ears should not be used as the only mechanical support. The unit should
rest on a shelf, or be supported in some other way. The ears will just locate
it in the rack, and stop it sliding forwards.
If the unit is not to be rack mounted, the ears may be removed.
Here's what to do:
Check the appropriate mains supply for your local mains is marked on the rear
panel.
If it is, using the lead supplied, connect the unit to the mains - connect no other
leads at this stage - and switch on.
The 7-segment display will briefly show:
and then the sample rate, for example:
Connect an output (e.g. from
ADC or DDC in your system. If you lock a DAC to the Master Clock, ensure the
source driving the DAC is locked to it as well.
Press the Sample Rate
rate you want is displayed.
If your system is running Dual AES at 88.2 or 96kS/s, press the
button until the indicator beside it changes to 2, otherwise set it to 1. Dual AES
requires only one Reference connection.
Set up like this, the dCS 992 will operate in Master mode, and the system it is
connected to will (have to) lock to it. You should have audio.
Note that all the outputs are active simultaneously on the dCS 992 and may all be
connected to external equipment simultaneously if required.
Now you will need to familiarise yourself with how the front panel controls and
the menu system work.
Read the short section
the buttons and menu work.
You may also find it convenient to refer to the Control Summary sheet while
you are getting to know the unit.
If the unit does not behave the first time you power up – contact your dealer, or
dCS.
