- Pulizia: Unplug the unit from the power outlet before cleaning. Use a dry, soft cloth only.
Istituisci
- Connect Power: Insert the DC 9V power adapter into the "DC+9V" input jack on the rear panel of the SD-793II. Plug the adapter into a wall outlet.
- Cunnette a fonte audio digitale:
- Input otticu: Connect an optical fiber cable from your digital audio source (e.g., TV, CD player, game console) to the "OPTICAL" input on the rear panel.
- Input coaxial: Connect a coaxial cable from your digital audio source (e.g., DVD player, computer sound card) to the "COAXIAL" input on the rear panel.
Impurtante: Ensure your digital audio source is configured to output PCM stereo audio. Multichannel formats like Dolby Digital or DTS are not supported and may result in no sound or clicking noises.
- Cunnette l'uscita audio analogica:
- Risultatu RCA: Connect RCA cables from the "R OUT" (right) and "L OUT" (left) jacks on the rear panel to your amplifier, active speakers, or other analog audio input device.
- Output per cuffie: For private listening, plug your headphones into the 6.35mm headphone jack on the front panel.

Risoluzione di prublemi
- Nisuna uscita di sonu:
- Ensure the unit is powered on and the power adapter is securely connected.
- Verify that the correct input (Optical or Coaxial) is selected using the "SELECT" button.
- Check all audio cable connections (digital input, RCA output, headphone).
- Confirm that your digital audio source is outputting PCM stereo audio, not a multichannel format (e.g., Dolby Digital, DTS). Adjust source settings if necessary.
- If using headphones, ensure the volume knob is turned up.
- Test with a different audio source or output device to isolate the problem.
- Qualità di sonu distorta o scarsa:
- Verificate per e cunnessione di cable loose.
- Ensure the digital audio source is set to PCM stereo output.
- Verificate chì u sample rate and bit depth of the input signal are within the supported range (up to 24-bit/96KHz for DIR9001, 192K/24Bit for PCM1793).
- If using headphones, ensure they are properly connected and not damaged.
- Clicking Noise from Unit:
- A mechanical relay inside the unit may produce a click when the audio signal starts or stops, or when switching sources. This is normal operation.
