Description of Switches and Buttons
2.5 Description of Switches and Buttons
2.5.1S/PDIF Input Selector Switch (S100)
S100 switches between optical and coaxial S/PDIF input. When the lever is pressed in the direction of J101, the optical S/PDIF input is selected. When the lever is pressed in the direction of J100, the coaxial S/PDIF input is selected.
2.5.2Bypass Digital Audio Processor Switch (S320)
When the lever is pressed in the direction of S341, the DAP is bypassed. When the lever is pressed in the direction of U360 (TAS3002), the DAP is in the signal path. Below S320 is a label (DAP ON), which indicates the position of the lever for the DAP inserted in signal path.
Warning
Bypassing the DAP is equal to maximum output power (attenuation = 0 dB). This might be loud and could possible damage your loudspeaker and hearing.
2.5.3Reset Board Button (S620)
This is the master RESET for the EVM board. While this button is held down, the DIR1703, TAS3002, TAS5010, and TAS5112ADFD are held RESET and latching errors are cleared. Note that while the RESET button is held down, the No S/PDIF LED lights up, even if a valid S/PDIF input signal is present, because the DIR1703 S/PDIF receiver is held RESET.
2.5.4Mute Button (S240)
The output stage is muted (not switching) while this button is held down and unmutes when it is released.
2.5.5Volume Control (S340 and S341)
S341 and S340: Volume control of TAS3002 DAP. Press and hold the S341 button to decrease output power level. Press and hold the S340 button to increase output power level.
Note:
Change of listening level is slow. It takes approximately 25 seconds to change attenuation from
The TAS3002 device implements a soft volume control. This feature allows a change from one volume level to another over the entire range of volume control (+18 dB to mute). Above 0 dB, there is risk of signal clipping. Distortion of output signals is the result of signal clipping.
Note:
Significant signal clipping might result in activation of the overcurrent protection system.
