Clock Sync; Usb Connections With A Computer - Esoteric N-01XD Owner's Manual

Clock sync

The CLOCK indicator does not stop blinking.
e Set CLK> to OFF when not using clock sync.
e A clock signal to which the unit cannot synchronize might be
being input. Check the connection of the CLOCK IN (10MHz)
connector and the settings of the connected device.
A cyclical noise is being output.
e If a cyclical noise is being output when the unit is in clock sync
mode, the connected device might not be in clock sync mode.
Check the connection of the CLOCK IN (10MHz) connector and
the clock synchronization setting of the connected device.
An audio file cannot be played back (correctly).
e Different media servers (NAS) support different types of files.
Check the specifications of the media server (NAS), too.
The sound breaks up during playback.
e If files that use lossy compression, including MP3s, and files at
44.1 kHz and other low bit rates play back normally, but the
sounds of files at 384 kHz and other high bit rates as well as
FLAC and other files that use lossless compression break up,
the ETHERNET speed might be too slow.
The audio data is transmitted from the NAS through the router.
For this reason, using LAN cables to connect the NAS to the
router and the router to this unit is preferable.

USB connections with a computer

Computer does not recognize this unit.
e See page 13 for information about supported operating
systems. Operation with unsupported operating systems is not
guaranteed.
There is noise.
e Starting other applications during playback of an audio file
may interrupt playback or cause noise. Do not start other appli-
cations during playback.
e When the unit is connected to a computer via a USB hub, for
example, noise might be heard. If this occurs, connect the unit
directly to the computer.
Audio files cannot be played back.
e Connect the computer with this unit and switch to USB before
starting the audio playback software and audio file playback.
Audio data might not play back correctly if you connect this
unit with the computer or change its input to USB after start-
ing the audio playback software.
Since this unit uses a microcontroller, external noise and other
interference can cause the unit to malfunction. If this occurs,
turn the unit off and wait about one minute before restarting
operation from the beginning.
Note about condensation
If this unit is brought from a cold outdoor environment into a
warm room, or the heater has just been turned on in the room
where it is located, for example, condensation might occur, result-
ing in improper operation. If this occurs, leave the unit on and wait
1–2 hours. This should enable normal playback.
