Trouble Shooting Your System
If you experience difficulties when using your dCS 954, the following suggestions
may help to resolve the problem.
The unit fails to power up -
• Ensure there is power available on the mains cable and the unit’s mains
switch is On.
• Check the rated supply voltage shown on the rear of the unit matches the
local supply voltage.
• Check that the fuse has not blown - if so, correct any obvious cause then
replace the fuse as described in the section “User Changeable Parts”,
page 72.
• Check that the mains cable is pushed fully home into the mains inlet in the
rear of the unit.
The unit fails to lock to a source -
• Ensure the correct input is selected and the Ref In menu item is set to
Route.
• Check that the digital audio cable is of the correct type, correctly connected
and not damaged. Damaged cables are a VERY common cause of
malfunctions!
• Check that the source is switched on.
• Some CD players do not generate a digital output unless the disc is playing -
set the player in “play” mode and check that the unit locks.
• If you are using SDIF-2, set the BNC I menu item to SDIF and the BNC
menu item to Input.
