What to do if Lexicon DC-2 Recording Equipment has no output?
- J
  John SmithAug 15, 2025
  If your Lexicon Recording Equipment isn't producing any output, there are several things to check: * First, ensure that a signal is actually reaching the DC-2. You can verify this via the Status menu (accessed by pressing and holding Record/Zone 2 on the remote, then pressing OSD ON), which displays input level meters and sample rate. * Next, increase the volume using the remote and check the Front/Back and Left/Right balance. * Also, confirm that the DC-2 MUTE controls are disengaged. * Verify all other equipment settings and connections, ensuring that the amplifiers connected to the DC-2 are working. * Finally, remember that the DC-2 mutes the output to any speakers not configured in the Setup menu. Adjust the Speaker Configuration menu if you've added or removed speakers.
