Digital Audio Outputs - Ayre DX-7 Owner's Manual

An adapter is available from
Ayre should you need to
connect one of the AES/EBU
digital outputs with an XLR
connector to an S/PDIF input
that uses an RCA connector.
Playing the unit for 100 to
500 hours will ensure full
break-in.
The SyncroLink interface automatically detects
when a compatible SyncroLink device has been
connected.

Digital Audio Outputs

The Ayre DX-7 features two digital audio outputs.
Both are AES/ EBU balanced outputs to ensure the
highest possible level of sonic performance. One of
these outputs will transmit both compressed formats
(e.g., Dolby Digital and DTS) as well as
uncompressed PCM formats (e.g., Compact Disc).
This output should be connected to your
surround-sound processor.
The other AES/EBU balanced output transmits
PCM only and is intended for use with a
two-channel digital-to-analog (D/A) converter. Both
AES/EBU outputs may be used simultaneously.
AC Power
Connect the Ayre DX-7 to an unswitched power
source. The best performance is normally achieved
when the DX-7 is plugged directly into the wall
outlet, without using any power strips or power line
conditioners.
Break-In
Due to the manufacturing processes used for the
wires and capacitors, a break-in period is necessary
for the DVD player to reach its full performance
potential.
