The Remote Control fails to control the unit
• The Remote Control is normally shipped with the batteries packed
separately for safety reasons. If you are using the Remote Control for the
first time, you must fit the batteries first – see page 61.
• If the Remote Control has not been used for a long time or has gradually
lost range, the batteries should be replaced - see page 61.
• If you have just replaced the batteries but the unit still does not work, check
that the batteries are fitted the right way around - see page 61. If two or
more batteries were fitted the wrong around, the Remote Control may be
permanently damaged. If this occurs, contact your dealer for advice.
• For correct operation, there must be a clear line of sight between the
infrared transmitter at the end of the Remote Control and the infrared
receiver in Delius, located on the left hand side of the display. If the line of
sight is blocked (for example by a coffee table) the Remote Control may
operate erratically or not at all.
• While the unit is displaying Locking or Wait ..., the system timing is
fluctuating and this may temporarily disrupt the operation of the Remote
Control. Once the unit locks, normal operation will be resumed.
While playing a DVD, a burst of noise is heard, Delius mutes and changes sample rate
• We have found that some DVDs have been compiled with tracks recorded
at different sample rates (e.g. 96kS/s & 48kS/s). There is no warning of this
sudden change in sample rate (this could be done by using the Non-Audio
flag or by changing the sample rate code in the data stream), so the DAC
tries to decode corrupted data momentarily before registering loss of sync,
muting and re-locking. The root cause of the problem is a lack of a formal
interface standard covering sample rates above 48kS/s. When a new
standard is agreed, Delius’ software can be updated to comply with it. This
is unlikely to improve the situation with existing disks. Meanwhile, we
suggest you reduce the volume at the end of the track where a change
occurs and increase it when Delius displays a new sample rate.

CD Update is interrupted or fails
• If a software update from a dCS CD is interrupted, the original software
may be recovered by switching Delius off and on, then waiting a few
minutes. See CD Update on page 33.
• If you are using an Upsampler or other device, ensure it is set to bit-for-bit
(Clone) mode.
• If your CD player upsamples to 48kS/s or 88.2kS/s or adds dither (a few
types do this), the update program will reject the data. Use or borrow an
“ordinary” CD player.

CD Update is interrupted and fails to recover
• It is just possible (but very unlikely) that the recovery will fail if the recovery
code was being over-written when the interruption occurred. If you are very
unlucky and this happens, ask your dealer for help. New software must be
loaded from an EPROM.
