Service: Service: Service: Do not try to repair your SACD-Player 745 by yourself. It needs a service check by a qualified person in the following cases: the mains-cable or the mains connectors are damaged foreign substances or liquidity has entered the SACD-Player 745...
Converter (DAC) Converter (DAC) The SACD-Player 745 has one DAC board per audio channel (left/right). We use the Burr-Brown 1792 DAC which guarantees excellent performance. Only the top qual- ity converter section which runs up to 384 kHz of the chip is used. The internal up sampling section is bypassed! The DACs are operated in dual mono mode.
Utmost precision of the clock signal is a must have for a top class D/A-Conversion. The clock unit of the SACD-Player 745 runs at a precision of < 0.01ppm. For the synchronisation to external digital data the clock/PLL must adapt itself very fast to eventual changes of the external data.

The voltages are stabilised locally on the boards where they are needed. The drive of the SACD-Player 745 has its own dedicated power supply unit. This guarantees that the drive can dispose over sufficient current when needed, at the same time there is no interference between the drive and the rest of the SACD- Player.
There are no limitations on where to position your SACD-Player 745. We suggest positioning the SACD-Player 745 so that the connecting cables to the preamplifier remain short. Do not place the SACD-Player 745 directly on top of the External Power Supply 740PSU. If available, place the power supply unit on separate shelf in your rack.
After switch-on of the External Power Supply 740PSU the standby power supply gets started. The display of the SACD-Player 745 shows "WAIT". As soon as con- stant conditions are reached the SACD-Player 745 changes to operating condition OFF (red LEDs in display).
Link (D) With the LINK-connection the preamplifier soulution 720/721 can control the switch-on of the SACD-Player 745. Connect the Master out 1 or Master out 2 of the preamplifier 720/721 with the Slave-In of the External Power Supply 740PSU. The Slave-out of the External Power Supply 740PSU allows connecting further soulution components.

4.4.2 Digital Digital The SACD-Player 745 has 4 digital output connectors. (SPDIF 1 (RCA), SPDIF 2 (BNC), AES/EBU, Toslink). Connect your favourite digital output with the digital in- put of your external D/A-Converter. With the functions Output SPDIF 1, Output SPDIF 2, Output AES/EBU and Output Toslink (chapter 5.2.5 to 5.2.8, page 23) the digital inputs can be (de)activated.

(BNC) of the SACD-Player 745. The SACD-Player 745 is able to receive Wordclock and Masterclock signals. For optimal adaptation to your clock generator the SACD-Player 745’s clock input can be terminated with two different impedances. With the function Clock-Input (see chapter 5.2.12, page 24) you may select the optimal termination or deactivate the clock input.
