STEP 3 – Using the Player’s PCM Inputs
The Player has 5 standard PCM inputs, which may be used with a wide variety of sources.
Switch on the source equipment. If appropriate, load a disk / tape / file and set the machine in PLAY
mode to ensure it is generating a digital audio data stream.
Choose one or both of the following two sections:
Connecting to a Dual AES Source
• Check that your source equipment is capable of Dual AES operation and is set up correctly. This
will probably a dCS SACD Transport, a dCS Upsampler or a sound server.
Press Menu, ►, ►, ►, Menu, ► to select the Unit Settings > Dual AES menu page and
use the Menu button to ensure it is set to Auto.
• Connect the AES1 (or AES A) output on your source equipment to the AES1 input on the Player’s
rear panel and the AES2 (or AES B) output to the AES2 input, using two XLR cables. Ensure the
cables are not swapped.

if the source is generating that format.
