- Nettoyage: Unplug the unit from the power outlet before cleaning. Use a dry, soft cloth only.
Installation
- Connecter l'alimentation : 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.
- Connecter une source audio numérique :
- Entrée optique : 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.
- Entrée coaxiale : Connect a coaxial cable from your digital audio source (e.g., DVD player, computer sound card) to the "COAXIAL" input on the rear panel.
Important: 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.
- Connecter la sortie audio analogique :
- Sortie 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.
- Sortie casque : For private listening, plug your headphones into the 6.35mm headphone jack on the front panel.

Dépannage
- Pas de sortie audio :
- Vérifiez que l'appareil est allumé et que l'adaptateur secteur est correctement branché.
- 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.
- Effectuez un test avec une source audio ou un périphérique de sortie différent afin d'isoler le problème.
- Son déformé ou de mauvaise qualité :
- Vérifiez les connexions de câble desserrées.
- Ensure the digital audio source is set to PCM stereo output.
- Vérifiez que le 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.
- If continuous clicking occurs, ensure your digital audio source is set to PCM stereo output, not a multichannel format.
- L'appareil ne s'allume pas :
- Check the power adapter connection to both the unit and the wall outlet.
- Vérifiez que la prise murale est fonctionnelle.
- Essayez une autre prise de courant.
