2.14.2 CD audio input connector (CN9)
All CD-ROM drives can provide analog audio signal output when
used as a music CD player. The CN9 is a connector to input CD
audio signals into the audio controller. The audio cable of your
CD-ROM drive is suitable for connection to CN9.
2.14.3 Audio power source setting (J1)
The PCM-5825 is designed to work with a single +5 V power supply
as audio interfaces usually function under +5 V. However, most
audio controllers require an independant +12 V power source since
this avoids noise interference from other digital circuits. By using
J1, the PCM-5825 audio interface can also accept +12 V power
sources for improved audio quality.

Configuration of the audio interface is done completely via
software utilities.You don't have to set any jumpers. For furhter

2.15 Serial ports (CN19, CN18, CN2)
The PCM-5825 offers four serial ports: three RS-232 and one RS-
232/422/485. These ports allow you to connect to any serial device
(a mouse, printers, etc.) or communication network.
2.15.1 COM1 RS-232 port (CN19)
The serial port connectors are mounted on the bottom edge of the
card. The 9-pin D-SUB connector to the left of the card is the
RS-232 port.
