signal and chassis
Since both the inputs and outputs of the DPR 504 are balanced, correct
ground
connector wiring should be alleviate this problem. Prior to continuing with this
procedure, it is recommended that you recheck all audio wiring for
correctness.
Should it be necessary, then the simple removal of an internal wire link
accomplishes this task. Refer to figure 13.2 for the location of this wire link.
To remove the wire link, you will need to remove the top cover of the unit,
and then remove the top PCB, and 4 LED PCBs. The chassis link point will
then be accessible, located between C512 and C502 labels (white silk screen)
on the main PCB.
On no occasion should the incoming safety ground wire be disconnected from
the line cord or from the internal chassis connection as an alternative to this
procedure.
