The unit stores the last input selection at power down and re-loads it when
power is restored. For example, if the previous setting was AES1, the unit will
return to this mode at power up, provided the source connected to the AES1
input is valid. The unit will detect the sample rate present on AES1 and lock to it.
dCS 952 can automatically select the data format. For details, see the menu
option “I-For” on page 22.
The “Active Input” button is the source selector button below a bright LED or, if
the unit is unlocked, a flashing LED. This button doubles as the menu Step
button. For Menu operation as the Step button, see the section “The Software –
the Menu” on page 16.
Panel Lock indicator -
When lit, this indicates that the front panel controls are locked out to prevent
accidental or unauthorised operation. Panel Lock is turned on and off using the
“Loc” menu option, see page 23.
Mute Menu Set
The Mute button is dual function – on its own, it mutes and unmutes the
analogue outputs when the unit is locked to a source. With the other menu
buttons, it is the menu Set button
The analogue outputs are automatically muted at power up and remain so until
lock is achieved, as indicated by the LED above the Mute switch. If “A-Cut”,
page 19, is turned on, the unit will mute automatically if the source data is
identified as non-audio.
For Menu operation as the Set button, see “The Software – the Menu” on
page 16.
Phase Menu Down
The Phase button is triple function – on its own, it reverses the phase of the
analogue outputs. If the “Panel” option, page 23. is set to Volume, it functions
as the Volume down button. With the other menu buttons, it is the menu Down
button.
The left hand LED above the Phase button lights if CH1(L) outputs are inverted,
the right hand LED lights if CH2(R) outputs are inverted. Pressing the Phase
button toggles both channels between absolute and inverted phase. Holding the
button down causes the unit to cycle through the following sequence:
LEDs Ch1 (L) phase Ch2 (R) phase
on off inverted absolute
off on absolute inverted
off off absolute absolute
on on inverted inverted

Release the button when the required setting appears.
For Menu operation as the Down button, see “The Software – the Menu” on
page 16.
