B
Digital audio input connectors (DIGITAL IN)
Use these to input digital audio. They can be connected to the
digital output connectors of appropriate audio devices.
They can receive signals with sampling frequencies of 32–192 kHz
and bit depths up to 24-bit.
Use commercially-available cables for connections.
OPTICAL: optical digital cable (TOS)
RCA 1, RCA 2: RCA coaxial digital cables
C
USB port
Use to input digital audio from a computer. Connect it to a com-
puter's USB port.

CLOCK SYNC IN, OUT connectors
Use these to input and output clock synchronization signals.
When using a master clock generator, connect its clock output
connector to this unit's CLOCK SYNC IN connector.
Use the clock mode setting to select the active clock sync con-
nector (page 16).
Connect the CLOCK SYNC OUT connector on this unit to the
clock input connector on a digital source device.
Use commercially-available BNC coaxial cables for
connections.
F
ETHERNET port
Use a commercially-available LAN cable to connect to a network.
G
USB DRIVE port
Connect USB flash drives that contain music files here.
H
Grounding connector (SIGNAL GND)
The audio quality might be improved by connecting this
grounding connector to an amplifier or other device that is con-
nected to this unit.
o This is not an electrical safety ground.
