IMPORTANT!
If the selected format does not match the source(s) connected, the audio
output may be severely aliased mono or aliased mono mixes of the sources.
This should pose no risk to ears or speakers (assuming the system gain is set
sensibly) but cannot be detected by the unit without correct messaging.

The unit stores the last input selection at power down and re-loads it when
power is restored. For example, if the previous setting was Quad AES, the unit
will return to this mode at power up, provided all 4 AES inputs are valid and
carry the same sample rate. The unit will detect the sample rate present on
AES1 and lock to it. If one or more inputs are disconnected, the unit will lock to
Single AES on AES1 until the required inputs are available.

Coarse Lock
-
Some digital audio equipment (even some quite expensive products) produces
data streams with a level of jitter outside the AES3 specification. In particular,
sources that involve mechanical movement between tracks (for example, some
CD players) can show large timing transients as the movement occurs, which
can upset the dCS 954, causing intermittent data errors or muting. To cater for
this situation, the dCS 954 allows two PLL settings – fine lock and coarse lock.

When lit, this indicates that the front panel controls are locked out to prevent
accidental or unauthorised operation. Lock is turned on and off using the
accidental or unauthorised operation. Lock is turned on and off using the
