The screen brightness can be adjusted in ten stages to suit your personal
preference; a further option is to switch off the screen completely. The
change in brightness simultaneously affects the screen, the illuminated
symbols and all the source and status LEDs, with one exception: when
screen brightness is set to ‘fully off’, the ‘ON’ LED is not switched off
completely, so that the machine’s operating status is still evident.
This is the procedure for adjusting screen brightness:
• Hold the button pressed in until the message ‘Brgt’
appears on the screen.
• You can now adjust the brightness of the screen using the -
+ buttons, within the range ‘fully off’ to ‘maximum
brightness’.
• Once you have set your preferred brightness, press the
button briefly once more to save the set value.
The DAC 8 can be connected to any computer with a USB 1.0 or USB
2.0 interface. The DAC 8 is set up for connection to a USB 1.0 port by
default. If you wish to operate the machine with a USB 2.0 port in USB
Audio Class 2 mode (High-Speed mode, maximum sampling frequency
192 kHz), you must switch the USB mode to USB2.
The procedure for changing the USB mode is as follows:
• Hold the button pressed in until the USB mode is
displayed on the screen, e.g. USB1 for USB 1.0.
• The setting can now be changed using the - + buttons.
• Once you have selected the desired mode of operation, press the
button again briefly to store the setting and quit.
If you wish to make a connection in USB Audio Class 2 mode (to a USB
2.0 port) you must first install the appropriate driver software on your
computer (see section entitled ‘USB driver installation’).
