Istruzzjonijiet tas-Sigurtà
- Provvista tal-Enerġija: Uża biss l-adapter tal-enerġija pprovdut. Kun żgur li l-volumtage taqbel mal-provvista tal-enerġija lokali tiegħek.
- Ventilazzjoni: Timblokkax xi fetħiet tal-ventilazzjoni. Kun żgur li jkun hemm fluss tal-arja adegwat madwar l-unità biex tevita li tisħon iżżejjed.
- Ilma u Umdità: Tesponix l-unità għax-xita, umdità, jew likwidi li jqattru/jittajru. Tpoġġix oġġetti mimlija b'likwidi, bħal vażuni, fuq l-unità.
- Sorsi tas-Sħana: Żomm l-unità 'l bogħod minn sorsi ta' sħana bħal radjaturi, reġistri tas-sħana, stufi, jew apparat ieħor (inkluż amplifiers) li jipproduċu sħana.
- Servizzi: Tippruvax isservi dan il-prodott int stess. Irreferi l-manutenzjoni kollha lil persunal tas-servizz kwalifikat.
- Tindif: Unplug the unit from the power outlet before cleaning. Use a dry, soft cloth only.
Setup
- Qabbad l-Enerġija: 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.
- Connect Digital Audio Source:
- Input ottiku: 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 koassjali: Connect a coaxial cable from your digital audio source (e.g., DVD player, computer sound card) to the "COAXIAL" input on the rear panel.
Importanti: 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.
- Connect Analog Audio Output:
- Output 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.
- Ħruġ tal-headphones: For private listening, plug your headphones into the 6.35mm headphone jack on the front panel.

Issolvi l-problemi
- Ebda Ħsejjes tal-Ħsejjes:
- Kun żgur li l-unità hija mixgħula u li l-adapter tal-enerġija huwa konness sew.
- 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.
- Kwalità tal-Ħoss Mgħawġa jew Fqira:
- Iċċekkja għal konnessjonijiet tal-kejbil maħlula.
- Ensure the digital audio source is set to PCM stereo output.
- Ivverifika li s-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.
