dCS equipment encodes messaging into the various data streams to enable
receiving equipment to tell what is going on, and to decide which wire is which,
in the unlikely event of user wiring errors. Not all equipment from other
manufacturers does this, so:
Take care when connecting Dual AES as it is easy to connect the wires in the
wrong order. If this is not detected, the Left and Right channels will be
swapped on the recording. Numbering each connector is a sensible
precaution.
The main LED display generally shows the sample rate, in kS/s. When other
parameters are set, it briefly shows the new setting (Word Length, Noise
Shaping, etc) then reverts to its normal display. In the case of an error condition,
it will display an error message.
If the unit is being slaved, the display also indicates which input connector it is
slaved to.
