Why is the audio output low or absent on my DCS 900E?
Check that all cables are connected correctly and are not damaged. Damaged cables are a VERY common source of malfunctions! Also, verify that the source and destination equipment are switched on and correctly set up. Confirm that an audio signal is present on one or both of the inputs. Finally, ensure Mute is not enabled - the LED should be off.
Why are the left and right channels swapped on my DCS Media Converter?
Check that the audio input cables are not reversed. Verify that the channels are not swapped elsewhere in the system. If using SDIF-2, check that CH1 and CH2 outputs are connected correctly. If you're using a dCS 902 only in Dual AES mode, make sure the AES 1 output connects to the destination equipment's Left channel input and the AES 2 output connects to the Right channel input. Refer to the destination equipment's manual for specific labeling information.
What to do if I hear clicks or crackles on the outputs of my DCS 900E?
Check that all cables are connected correctly and are not damaged. Also, make sure that the overload LED does not light on signal peaks.
What to do if my DCS 900E fails to power up?
First, ensure the mains cable has power and the unit’s mains switch is On. Next, verify the rated supply voltage on the unit's rear matches your local supply voltage. Also, check if the fuse has blown and replace it if necessary, after correcting any obvious cause. Finally, ensure the mains cable is fully inserted into the mains inlet on the unit's rear.
Why don't the level trimmers change the input level on my DCS Media Converter?
If the level trimmers on the rear panel of your DCS Media Converter aren't changing the input level: * Make sure the trim tool or screwdriver you're using is narrow enough (about 2.5mm or 0.1” diameter) and long enough (at least 12mm or 0.5”) to reach the adjuster. * The trimmer might be at the end of its travel; try turning it several times in the opposite direction. It's a 20-turn device.
How do I fix a DCS Media Converter when one output channel is low or absent?
If one output channel on your DCS Media Converter has low or no audio: * Check that all cables are connected correctly and are not damaged, as damaged cables are a very common source of malfunctions. * Check that the balance isn't offset elsewhere in the system. * If the level trimmers on the rear panel have been adjusted, ensure that one hasn't been set much lower than the other.
What to do if the audio output is low or absent on my DCS Media Converter?
If the audio output from your DCS Media Converter is low or absent: * Check all cables for correct connection and damage, as damaged cables are a very common cause of malfunctions. * Ensure both the source and destination equipment are powered on and configured correctly. * Verify that an audio signal is present on at least one of the inputs. * Make sure that the Mute function is not enabled (LED off).
Why won't the level trimmers on the rear panel of my DCS Media Converter change the input level?
Ensure the trim tool or screwdriver you are using is narrow enough to reach the adjuster (about 2.5mm or 0.1” diameter) and long enough (at least 12mm or 0.5”). The trimmer may be at the end of its travel - try turning it several times the other way. It is a 20-turn device.
What to do if one output channel is low or absent on my DCS 900E Media Converter?
Ensure that all cables are connected correctly and are not damaged. Verify that the balance is not offset elsewhere in the system. If the level trimmers on the rear panel have been adjusted, check that one has not been set much lower than the other.
