cable, ensure it is pushed all the way in and press the
Power
button. If
there is a Power switch on the back panel, ensure this is set to the On (
I
)
position.

Check that the fuse has not blown - if so, correct any obvious cause then
replace the fuse as described on page
The DAC/DDC suddenly mutes, Verona repeats its’ power-up sequence

•
AC coupled cables are not suitable for use with Word Clock signals.
Periodic clicks are heard from the loudspeakers
•
This is often caused by part of the system (usually the source equipment)
not being locked to the Verona, while the DAC is locked. Check that the
system is connected correctly, that the menu settings are correct and the
master clock frequency matches the sample rates in use.
