The Basics.

Should you want to connect an internal digital device to the SoundSystem SiXPack 5.1 +, use
the two-poled connector as shown in the following diagram next to the Aux In. To connect the
digital output of your CD-ROM drive, use the supplied connection cable which ensures correct
polarity.

General Information to the Digital Inputs

The digital interface on the SiXPack 5.1 + works with all standard frequencies with 16Bit resolu-
tion, i.e. 32, 44.1 and 48kHz.
To be able to work with the digital input, you should first ensure that this has also been acti-
vated. Go to the "Digital" menu in the Control Panel and in the field "Digital input" select either
"Always on" – in this case, the digital input is always active, regardless of whether or not a
signal is actually present.
or
"Automatic sensing" – the signal input is only activated when data is actually present.
For digital recording. The signal on the digital input can be recorded using the option "S/PDIF"
in the SiXPack 5.1 + Control Panel. In your recording software choose the recording driver "SiX-
Pack 5.1 + Wave". Pay attention when recording that all the sources you don't want to record are
muted in the "Sources" menu of the SiXPack 5.1 + Control Panel. By the way: Any previously set
copy protection (the so-called SCMS or Copy Protection Bit) will be ignored and not recorded.

Stuff Worth Knowing

Even when transfering audio data over an optical cable - small, normally not hearable, errors
can occur. You should therefore pay attention to use a high quality cable that is not too long
(optical fiberglass cable up to aprox. 2m). Ensure that the cable is free of kinks.
