operation

Switching on
Switch the unit on by pressing the button. The
POWER
status LED glows green when the unit is powered up and
red when in stand-by mode. The remote control is used
to enter and exit standby mode. If the button is
POWER
pressed (or power is removed) whilst in standby, the
unit will power up fully when power is re-applied.
Note that the remote control sensor is located
underneath the FMJ logo. Do not obstruct this or the
remote control will not work.
Input selection
Select any of the digital audio inputs by pressing the
corresponding front panel or remote control button.
The associated front panel LED will glow red to denote
an inactive connection and green when a valid signal is
detected. The LED will flash green if the signal is invalid
(e.g. a Dolby Digital bitstream). The detected sample
rate will be indicated via the sample rate display at the
left-hand side of the front panel.
Filter selection
Oversampled digital-to-analogue conversion uses
digital filtering to process the signal. The D33 uses
custom processing to provide two different digital
filters, allowing the conversion process to be optimised
to personal preference and listening material. Use the
button on the remote control or front panel to
FILTER
toggle between the two filter options.
