BASIC CONNECTIONS NAMES AND FUNCTIONS TROUBLESHOOTING APPLICATION OPERATION ADVANCED CONNECTIONS BASIC OPERATION ENGLISH APPLICATION OPERATION SETTING THE DIGITAL OUTPUT The settings can be made using the remote control. The settings are retained even if the power is turned off so that you can always hear tracks played the way you want. Use the same procedures to change the settings again. The settings can be changed when the track is stopped. 7 During the playback of the CD layer of an audio CD or Super Audio CD DIGITAL OUT ¶ "Digital Output Off" operation The digital output function is turned ON and OFF by pressing the "DIGITAL OUT" button while the track is stopped. When digital output is turned off, the "D OFF" indicator lights up on the display. • When digital output is not used, turn off the digital output and enjoy better sound quality through analog output. Note: Digital signals are only output when playing Audio CDs or the CD layer of Super Audio CDs. They are not output when playing other media. The "digital output off" has a memory retention function where the settings remain stored and unchanged even when the disk is changed or the power is turned off. USING AS A D/A CONVERTER (DAC MODE) 2. 1. Connect a device with a digital output, such as a CD transport or MD recorder, to the unit's DIGITAL AUDIO IN terminal located on the rear panel. 2. Press the DAC MODE button on the main unit or remote control. The DAC MODE indicator on the front panel will light up in blue. 3. The input signal's sampling frequency (32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 64kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz) will be displayed on the LCD. Note: • When the unit is in DAC mode, audio output is analog only. • This unit can input linear PCM signals with sampling frequencies of 32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 64kHz, 88.2kHz, and 96kHz. Please do not input signals other than linear PCM signals (such as CD-ROM, Dolby Digital, DTS, or AAC signals). Signals other than linear PCM may generate noise and damage the speakers. • When the sampling frequency switches, such as when a satellite broadcast switches from A Mode to B Mode, there is a 1~2 second muting effect that may result in a brief audio drop out. • If the data in the connected device has excessive jitter and playback is not possible, the LCD will display the following message. OTHERS 4. To exit DAC mode and return to disc playback mode, press the DAC MODE button on the main unit or remote control again. The DAC MODE indicator on the front panel will turn off. 21
