בעיות נפוצות ופתרונות

תוֹפָעָה	פִּתָרוֹן
השמעה רועשת	Try with different songs. Ensure the specifications of the songs are supported by this unit. If noise appears only when playing DSD files, check and adjust the computer system volume and music player volume to maximum. Check the source, downstream equipment, and cables for issues. If noise disappears after unplugging the USB cable, it may be interference from the source. Consider adding a USB isolator.
One channel with noise/no output	Check the source, downstream equipment, and cables. Try swapping the left and right channel connections and test with another source. In the Topping control panel, set Volume -> Output to 0dB.
Channel imbalance	Set to "CB 0.0dB" in the setup menu. Check the source, downstream equipment, and cables. Try swapping left and right channel connections.
לא ניתן להתאים Bluetooth	Enable Bluetooth function in the setup menu (BT ON). The unit may be connected to another Bluetooth device. Press and hold the brightness button on the remote to enter pairing mode. Bring the Bluetooth device closer to the unit. Turn the power of the unit off and on again. Remove obstructions between the Bluetooth device and the unit.
Bluetooth audio cut off	To prevent electromagnetic interference, locate the unit away from microwave ovens, wireless LAN devices, and other Bluetooth devices. חבר מחדש את מכשיר ה-Bluetooth.
Connected USB device not recognized	Ensure the USB cable is connected properly. Try a different USB cable. נסה יציאת USB אחרת במחשב שלך. If it's a driver problem, try reinstalling the driver from the manufacturer's webאֲתַר. Test with a different computer. טלפונים מסוימים דורשים תחילה הפעלה של פונקציית OTG.
השלט רחוק לא מגיב	Enable remote control function in the setup menu (r-O). Insert two fresh AAA batteries. Aim the remote control at the remote control receiver on the unit. Bring the remote control closer to the device. Use your Android phone's camera to check if the remote's IR emitter blinks when a button is pressed. If not, the remote may be defective. If you have multiple Topping devices, ensure you are using the correct remote control.
Cannot adjust unit's volume	Check if DAC mode is set in the setup menu (d-d). In DAC mode, the volume is fixed at maximum. To adjust volume, set the unit to Preamplifier (PRE) mode.
