Features The world’s first* mono D/A converter that realizes the full potential of the Super Audio CD format (* as of August, 2004) Our approach of “improvement in sound quality through discrete L/R channel transmissions” has evolved into a completely discrete L/R system having two D-01s, one handling the left channel, and the other the right channel.
i.LINK (IEEE 1394) The i.LINK format, also known as IEEE 1394, is an international specification for the transferring of extremely fast data. This unit is ready for i.LINK (AUDIO). By connecting an i.LINK (AUDIO)-capable device to the IEEE 1394 (or i.LINK AUDIO) terminal on this unit using an i.LINK cable, you can transmit Super Audio CD multi-channel signals that could not be transmitted except in analog format in the past. With i.
Connections CAUTION: < Switch off the power to all equipment before making connections. < Read the instructions of each component you intend to use with this unit. < Be sure to insert each plug securely. To prevent hum and noise, avoid bundling the signal interconnection cables together with the AC power cord or speaker cables.
A Digital audio input terminals Connect any one of these terminals to the digital output terminal of a digital device (P-01, etc.) using a commercially available cable. XLR: Use balanced XLR digital audio cable COAXIAL: Use RCA (pin) digital audio cable IEEE1394 / i.LINK (AUDIO): Use S400 compatible IEEE1394 6pin cable < The IEEE 1394 terminal, or i.LINK (AUDIO) terminal, is an interface that transmits data both ways between the D-01 and an external device.
Example: Connection to the P-01 and the G-0/G-0s P-01 XLR digital cable D-01 (FRONT L) Amplifier AUDIO IN (FRONT L) XLR cable D-01 (FRONT R) Amplifier AUDIO IN (FRONT R) G-0/G-0s 8 BNC coaxial cable XLR cable
Names of Each Control 1 Display A B C A POWER Use this button to turn the unit on or off. When the unit is on, the ring surrounding the button lights up. D E F 4% down mode Pressing and holding this button for more than 3 seconds switches the unit back and forth between 4% down and normal modes. The equipment draws nominal non-operating power from the AC outlet with its POWER switch in the OFF position. B WORD Use this button to switch between word sync modes.
Names of Each Control 2 Display A B C C FILTER E F E OUTPUT This button selects algorithms for upward conversion. Pressing the button repeatedly rotates the selection through the following (a lit indicator shows the current selection): FIR RDOT This button allows you to adjust the output level in 0.5 dB steps between –99.5 and +6 dB. You can also set the level to – ∞. When using this feature, switch off the VOLUME BYPASS.
First Thing To Do Before anything else, you must select a channel for this unit when you use it for the first time or when you have reset it back to factory settings. Basic Operation 1 Press the POWER button to turn the unit on. 1 Press the POWER button to turn the unit on. When the unit is on, the ring surrounding the button lights up. < Also be sure the connected components are turned on. When the unit is on, the ring surrounding the button lights up. “CH_SEL>” appears on the left side of the display.
Changing the Settings 1 Press and hold the FILTER button for more than 3 seconds. 4 When all the settings are finished, press and hold the FILTER button for more than 3 seconds (or leave the unit idle for 8 seconds) to exit the setup mode. The unit enters the setup mode, and “W_OUT>***” appears on the display. (*** changes depending on the setting.) The setup mode will be cancelled in the following instances • Leave the unit idle for 8 seconds.
W_OUT (Word sync output frequency) Select the frequency of the word sync signal. The factory setting is “44.1k”. < The word sync signal is output only when the WORD button is set to “OUT”. Normal Mode 44.1k 100k 88.2k 176.4k 96k 192k 48k 4% Down Mode 48P(46.08k) 96P(92.16k) 100P(96k) 192P(184.32k) (“P” means “4% down mode for PAL film”) CH_SEL (Channel Select) Low-pass analog filter (80kLPF) The use of this filter produces a subtle difference in sound directivity.
Messages on the Display Troubleshooting ES-LINK appears when the ES-LINK compatible Esoteric product is connected.
