Audio signal(s) do not route 
as expected.
Parameter control not 
available as expected.
• Audio Input Controls
Passthrough mode may 
inadvertently be enabled
• When this mode is enabled, flexible
routing and parametric controls are not 
available. If this mode is not intended for 
use, make sure it is set to Off (disabled).
Refer to Audio Input Controls function 
submenu tab on page 3-9 for more 
information.
Note: Routing and parametric controls may
appear functional when Passthrough is 
enabled, although the controls will not 
be functional.
• AES audio is Dolby
®
E or
Dolby Digital encoded 
signal
• When a valid Dolby
®
E or Dolby Digital
signal (in accordance with SMPTE 337M) 
is detected on an AES signal, SRC is 
automatically bypassed (disabled) along 
with gain and polarity controls being 
bypassed (even though controls may 
appear to be functional). Gain and 
polarity controls are not available for this 
signal type.
Refer to Status Displays in Audio Input 
Controls function submenu tab on page 
3-9 for more information.
Audio not processed or 
passed through card.
• Input audio of type that
cannot be locked by 9301 
card
• AES audio must be nominal 48 kHz input.
Note: Although the Status Displays in Audio
Input Controls function submenu tab 
will show audio formats other than 
“Locked Professional” as being locked 
(such as “Consumer Locked”), in any 
case the audio must be at nominal 
48 kHz rate for lock and processing to 
occur.
• AES pairs 1 thru 4 switch
not set for Input (factory 
default) mode
• If any of AES IN 1 thru AES IN 4 are to be
used as inputs, the respective DIP switch 
must be set to the default INPUT mode 
position. 
See Installing the 9301 Into a Frame Slot 
(p. 2-1) in Chapter 2,“Installation and 
Setup” for more information.
• Upmixer inadvertently
enabled (Upmixer Licensed 
Feature Only)
• Make certain upmixer is set to Bypass if not
intended for use.
Note: When manually enabled or set for automatic
enable with appropriate signal levels, upmixer 
overwrites selected channels with new data; 
same-channel output will no longer represent 
same-channel inputs for selected channels.
