∙DACT, either an external DAC (like the Meridian 203, 263 or 563) is connected between the second digital output Do2 and the DAC socket (used as an input), or, an internal DAC option will be configured in Tape mode. This mode guarantees that any source can be copied to the analogue tape outputs irrespective of the listening source or secondary inputs.

∙DACV, internal DAC option only. The internal DAC has a variable output, that appears on the DAC socket. Use this setting if you want 562 to function as an analogue-output preamplifier with volume control from the remote control and front panel.

∙DACF, internal DAC option only. The internal DAC has its output fixed at 2V and the output that appears on the DAC socket. Use this setting if you want a fixed-level analogue copy of the main digital output.

∙DACH, internal DAC option only. The internal DAC has a variable output, that appears on the DAC socket. In this case the output level is controlled only by the volume keys on the front panel of 562, and this setting is ignored by the rest of the installation. Use this setting to drive headphones from the DAC output.
