7-Seg -
Disables the main 7 segment LED display. When set to Off, the Sample Rate
display turns off 5 seconds after the last button press. A dot in the lower right
hand corner of the display remains lit to indicate that the display has been
deliberately blanked. The display springs back into life (temporarily) if the menu
is used subsequently. Error or warning messages are displayed regardless of
this setting. The Mode display is not affected.
Heat -
Displays the internal temperature of the unit. Press
Set to toggle between
Fahrenheit and Celsius.
A-Cut -
Automatically mutes the analogue outputs if the selected AES/EBU data stream
is flagged as Non Audio. This gives useful protection and should normally be
set to On. Set to Off to disable Auto-Muting. To warn you of this, the Mute LED
will flash when the unit is not muted.
IMPORTANT!
Auto-Muting should not be disabled unless absolutely necessary as this will
prevent the unit muting if data errors occur or a non-audio CD is played.
Monitoring such data can cause loudspeaker and hearing damage!
A-Sel -
When set to On, automatic input selection is active. The unit will detect the
inputs connected to an active source and select one in the priority order AES1,
AES2, AES3, AES4, BNC. If the selected input is disconnected or turned off,
the unit will select the active input with the highest priority. You can select a
different input by pressing the appropriate button.
You might wish to use this function when a main signal is being fed into one
input, with a backup signal from another source being fed into a different input.
If the main signal fails, the unit will automatically switch to the backup. Or, if you
wish the dCS 954 to just play whatever you plug into it, and not worry about
which input you are using, you might wish to set A-Sel to On.
If the I-For menu item (“Input Format”, see page 25) is set to Auto, the unit will
read the multi-wire format from the message flags in the AES3 data streams,
selecting Dual or Quad AES groups as necessary. If the message flags are
incorrectly set, the unit may set the wrong multi-wire format.
