Note that the balanced and unbalanced outputs are active simultaneously on the
dCS 954 and may both be connected to external equipment simultaneously if
required.
Now you will need to familiarise yourself with how the front panel controls and
the menu system work.
do this: Read the short section on “The Software – the Menu” on page 18 so
you know how the buttons and menu work.
You may also find it convenient to refer to the Function Menu Guide while you
are getting to know the unit.
