XLR, RCA, RCA2 or OPT flashes.

The unit cannot detect a digital signal. Press the INPUT button to select a terminal to which a digital device is connected.

Turn on the connected device. Confirm the settings of the connected device.

NO WORD!

No word clock signal is being input. (See page 10 for details.)

The frequency of the input source does not match word frequency. Select 44.1, 88.2 or 176.4 kHz during Super Audio CD playback.

Set the “MCK” (Master clock) setting to “PLL1” or “PLL2” when you do not use the word sync mode.

An incompatible signal is input. Check the word sync connections and the setup of the connected devices.

WRD LCKING

Indicates that the input word clock signal is being locked.

Troubleshooting

If you experience any problem with this unit, please take the time to look through this chart and see if you can solve the problem yourself before calling your dealer.

No power.

e Make sure to plug the power cord into the AC outlet. Make sure there is power to the AC outlet by plugging another item such as a lamp or fan to test the outlet circuit.

e Press the POWER button to turn on the unit.

No sound

e Check amplifier and digital device connections. e Check the analog audio output setting (page 11).

Input indicator flashes.

e Turn on the device connected to the selected input terminal.

e Check whether the connection to the selected input terminal is correct.

A beeping noise occurs at regular intervals.

e The D-07 is in Word sync mode, but the connected device is not. Check the connection to the Word sync terminal and the setup of the connected device.

This phenomenon occurs when the error detected is below the limit of detection for the D-07 word error that would normally produce a WRD ERROR.

The WORD indicator flashes.

e Set the “MCK” (Master clock) setting to “PLL1” or “PLL2” when you do not use the word sync mode.

e An incompatible signal is input. Check the word sync connections and the setup of the connected devices.

If normal operation cannot be obtained, unplug the power cord from the outlet and plug it again. This resets the internal micro- computer which can be disturbed during electrical storms, power interruptions, et cetera.

Beware of condensation

When the unit is moved from a cold to a warm place, or used after a sudden temperature change, there is a danger of condensation; vapor in the air could condense on the internal mechanism, making correct operation impossible. To prevent this, or if this occurs, leave the unit turned on for one or two hours. Then the unit will stabilize at the temperature of its surroundings.

Maintenance

If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe with a soft cloth or use diluted neutral cleaning liquid. Be sure to remove any fluid completely. Do not use thinner, benzine (naphtha) or alcohol as they may damage the surface of the unit. For the sake of safety, disconnect the power plug before cleaning.
