5. Quick Start
It only takes a few moments to harness the benefits of the Zodiac+ sound.
Follow the steps below whilst referring to page 5 overleaf.
1. Connect Zodiac+ to the DC power source via rear panel connector (13).
2. Connect your choice of digital input(s) and analog outputs on the rear panel.
NOTE: Avoid using standard analog audio cables for digital signal.
Connecting the USB to a PC:
When connecting USB With Windows, it is necessary to direct the digital audio stream from
your computer through its USB port to the Zodiac+. To do so, click on your PC’s START
menu then select:
CONTROL PANEL > SOUNDS & AUDIO DEVICES > AUDIO and ensure that the Zodiac+
is selected.
When using Mac OS:
In your Apple Menu, go to System Preferences and choose Sound, Select the Output tab
and select Zodiac+ from the list.
3. Adjust the main volume (4) and headphones (12) to minimum.
4. Turn the unit on with the power button (7).
5. Play audio from your preferred digital or analog source.
6. The unit will auto detect the signal source and show the input name on the status display.
To switch to a different input:
Press the source button (9) once for each input selection (the status display will show the
corresponding input name when changed).
The sample rate of the input should be indicated in the status display (5). The Lock indicator
(1) should light steadily and audio should be present at the Zodiac+ outputs.
7. Adjust the main volume (4) or headphone volume (6) to your preferred level.
8. If you want to control your Zodiac remotely from your computer, there is also a software
control panel available for you on for MAC, PC and Linux systems!
