Troubleshooting

Symptom: When power is applied, there are no LED's lit on the

Flying Calf's front panel.

Solution: Make sure the power supply is properly plugged

into the unit and into a live wall source or power

strip. Also, make sure the Calf's Power button is

pushed in and latched.

Symptom: When first turning the unit on, small bursts of noise

or a "pop" sound are sometimes heard.

Symptom: When the S/PDIF source sample rates change, small

bursts of noise or a "pop" sound are sometimes

heard.

Solution: This is normal as it takes a small amount of time for

an S/PDIF receiver to lock onto a digital audio

source. Be sure to turn down your mixer or amplifi-

er before powering up the Flying Calf or changing

sample rates.

Symptom: When applying a digital signal to the Flying Calf, the

Calf's "Data Valid" LED light is erratic or doesn’t

light at all.

Solution: The S/PDIF digital signal may be invalid or the

S/PDIF cable may be faulty.

Symptom: Valid digital data is coming into the S/PDIF input

(the Data Valid LED is lit), but there is no audible

D/A output.

Solution 1: Check your analog output connections from the

Flying Calf.

Solution 2: The digital data source may be sending valid data,

but the data could be static (non-changing or DC).

Verify that digital source material is actually valid.

olution 3: The digital data source may be sending valid data,

but the data could represent an audio signal that is

so quiet that you are unable to hear it. In this case,

nothing is wrong.
