1. POWER
The DCD-8 requires 12VDC @ 25W. Acceptable
voltage range is 12VDC +/-15%.
The external power supply provided with the DCD-8
can accept 100 to 240 VAC input at 50 - 60 Hz so
it is suitable for use anywhere in the world.
Use the standard IEC power cable supplied.
2. 1394
This IEEE 1394 I/O is used to send /receive digital
audio to /from a FireWire device and to update
the DCD-8 firmware.
Use standard 6-pin FireWire 400 cables.
3. OPTICAL
Optical transmitter & receiver - this I/O accepts
ADAT or S/PDIF optical audio signals. See menu
31 for selecting the appropriate format.
Use standard optical fiber cables.
4. S/PDIF
2 RCA connectors - I/O. transformer isolated
Used for coaxial S/PDIF.
Use standard 75
RCA coaxial cables.
5. AES/EBU IN
2 XLR female connectors - Transformer isolated bal-
anced inputs; accepts AES3 or AES11.
Use standard 3-conductor shielded 110
cables.
