USING AS A D/A CONVERTER
(DAC MODE)
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.
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.
