All DAC-80s are shipped with the switch set to 230VAC in order to prevent accidental damage. Turn ON the AC power switch at the rear of the unit. The DAC-80 will now be in standby mode. The logic On/Off is enabled by pushing the knob or using the remote. The DAC-80 consumes less than 1W in standby and approximately 10W when ON. - Page 4 When the six LEDs light sequentially in a clockwise pattern, the digital signal is not standard PCM format. Rather, while the DAC-80 has locked onto the signal, it may be a DTS signal (such as from a Blu-ray player) or some format using a non-standard sample rate (such as 38.8kHz).
