- Page 11 POLARITY The DAP is a non-inverting device—that is, digital inputs which indicate a positive voltage generate a positive analog output. Some recordings may benefit from deliberately inverting the polarity (sometimes referred to as “absolute phase”) by 180° to correct for a similar polarity inversion incurred during the recording process.

The number of the selected input will be shown in the center of the , while the sampling frequency main display the DAP has locked onto is displayed on the right side. -
Page 18: Remote Control Of The Dap
The DAP includes both an infrared receiver and an infrared transmitter. With this capability , it can “teach” a learning remote control such as those provided with Proceed preamplifiers any commands that might be needed for remote operation. These include input selection, volume control, mode, polarity , etc. -
Page 19: Teaching Other Dap Commands
Notice that the LED changes its status (either on or off) briefly after mute you press a button. This LED change indicates that the DAP is transmit- ting the command which corresponds to the button you just pushed.
