Troubleshooting – Wyred 4 Sound DAC-1 LE User Manual
Page 10
DAC will start to become more fluid, and smoother overall. Additional time is where the lesser of a
change happens, and you will come to enjoy your new product for years to come. After the initial
break in period, your unit will be ready to perform when powered on.
Troubleshooting
No sound? If you have your input source and speakers connected, and you can’t get music to play,
check the following:
1. Verify that the power cord is plugged in and that the outlet is powered up.
2. Check the front panel and make sure that the display lights up.
3. If the display is on and the DAC is locked onto a signal, increase the volume to a significant level
to ensure the level is high enough for music playback.
4. If you can hear the slight turn on and off noise when the DAC is activated, but there still isn’t
any sound, make sure you are getting a signal to it.
5. Verify that the input is selecting the proper input for what you have connected, and is
displaying a sample rate.
6. If the input is in the proper position and still no sound, then try replacing the interconnects to
verify the connection between the DAC and source.
7. Verify that the interconnects are conducting by replacing them on a different set from a
connection that you know works.
8. Now that you have interconnects that you know work, try connecting the DAC to another source
that you know has worked in the past.
If you are still experiencing problems after checking all possibilities and using the resources
provided please contact your dealer or Wyred 4 Sound directly for further assistance.
Note: Because the DAC-1 LE is really an 8ch DAC inside, make sure that all sources (where applicable, ie:
DVD players, cable/satellite boxes) are programmed in their setup menu to output 2ch PCM or stereo
digital signals. In some cases, the DAC will actually try to decode multichannel formats, but will be
unsuccessful because the DACs outputs are tied together internally. If the DAC is playing music, then there
is nothing to worry about, but if you get loud switching noises, or no sound at all, this is probably why.
