Word Clock (TXn only)
What is word clock?
In order for digital audio signals to be transmitted and received between multiple devices, all of the devices must
process the audio signals with the same timing. For example even if two devices are set to the same sampling fre-
quency, signals will not be transmitted correctly or unpleasant noise will occur if the timing at which they process
audio signals is not synchronized.
The signal used to synchronize the processing of digital audio signals is called the “word clock” signal. Nor-
mally, one device transmits a word clock signal that is used as a reference, and all other devices will synchronize
to that received word clock signal. (The transmitting device is called the “word clock master,” and the receiving
device is called the “word clock slave.”
“Word Clock” dialog box
Click the [Device] menu command [Word Clock...] to access the “Word Clock” dialog box. Here you can make
word clock settings for amplifiers that support a digital audio input/output slot.
• The TXn is the only supported amplifier. This dialog box will not open if you’ve selected an amplifier that
is not supported.
