  • Page 11 POLARITY The DAP is a non-inverting device—that is, digital inputs which indicate a positive voltage generate a positive analog output. Some recordings may benefit from deliberately inverting the polarity (sometimes referred to as “absolute phase”) by 180° to correct for a similar polarity inversion incurred during the recording process.

(Note that the DAP is not supplied with an infrared remote control. Instead, it can teach a learning remote such as those provided with Proceed preamplifiers the needed commands, reducing the overpopulation of remote controls on your coffee table by one.
  • Page 16 Caution! The Proceed DAP has been safety-tested and is designed for operation with a three-conductor power cord. Do not defeat the “third pin” or earth ground of the AC power cord.

  • Page 17: Using The Dap

    For the finest musical per- formance (particularly reproduction of low-level information such as hall ambi- ence, etc.), use a high quality preamplifier such as the Proceed PRE or PAV , and leave the output of the DAP at maximum.

  • Page 18: Remote Control Of The Dap

    The DAP includes both an infrared receiver and an infrared transmitter. With this capability, it can “teach” a learning remote control such as those provided with Proceed preamplifiers any commands that might be needed for remote operation. These include input selection, volume control, mode, polarity, etc.

    (If you are uncertain as to how to prepare your remote control for learning new commands, refer to the instructions provided with the remote control.) REPEAT THE PROCESS OF “TEACHING” NEW COMMANDS TO THE VARI- OUS BUTTONS ON YOUR REMOTE CONTROL UNTIL ALL FRONT PANEL COMMANDS HAVE BEEN LEARNED BY YOUR REMOTE If you take longer than approximately ten seconds between front panel but- ton pushes, the DAP will time out and return to normal operation.

    The DAP will display a “L 00” code when it has entered its teaching mode and is ready to help the remote control learn the commands that corre- spond to the DAP’s front panel buttons. If no further buttons are pressed within approximately ten seconds, the DAP will “time out”...
