Remote Control The decco2 remote control is straightforward, easy to use, and designed for simplification. We suggest that after you manually turn the decco2 “on”, that standby be your default position when the decco2 is not in use. It will not damage the unit or wear the parts out more quickly than being completely “off”. 1) Mute: This button will mute the decco2. 2) On/Standby 2 1 3) Opt: This button selects a digital audio source at the Optical (or Toslink) connection.

Trouble Shooting The Decco2 will not turn on Make sure the on/off switch on the front panel is engaged. Check to be sure the AC plug is connected. Check the fuse. The Decco2 unit turns on but there is no sound Be sure you have the proper input selected. Make certain the mute isn’t engaged. Determine if your source is on. If the input button is blinking then your digital signal is not locked. Check your cable for connections and your source to be sure it is on and playing.

Useful Tips • A blue LED mounted under the tube turns on when the tube is activated At Peachtree Audio we think that products should be easy to use. Therefore, we don’t require any custom USB drivers or software programs in order to listen to your music from your computer. The Decco2’s USB audio input is used to take music files from your computer’s hard drive and play them back with superb fidelity.
Other H e l p fu l Ti p s 1) Always set your computer and Music program volume control to maximum and use the decco2 volume as a master control. It sounds better that way. 2) Avoid keeping multiple programs open while streaming music. It can compromise the sound quality and even cause signal dropouts. 3) Avoid plugging and unplugging the USB input multiple times in a short time span. It usually is not a problem but increases the chance of a voltage spike to the USB input.
Connections • Co Axial Digital Inputs: From the Back panel connect the input with a digital coaxial cable (7 or 10 on the “Back Panel” page) to the coax output from any coaxial digital source.(CD and DVD players, Sonos modules, Squeezebox modules, cable box, etc..etc..) Select the corresponding input in the front of the decco2.
