Connecting to a Single AES or SPDIF source
Most digital audio source equipment (such as CD transports, DVD players) is fitted with a single wire
digital output, usually on an RCA phono connector. Satellite receivers often have a Toslink optical
output.
• Connect your source equipment to the matching input on the Player’s rear panel using a suitable
cable.
• Press the Input button repeatedly until your chosen input is displayed. This will be either AES1,
AES2, SPDIF1 (RCA), SPDIF2 (BNC) or TOS (Toslink).
If this icon is not displayed, open the Menu and select Unit Settings > Sync Mode >
Audio Sync.
The Player will lock to the source, displaying 16/44.1 for example, if the source is a CD player.
If the inputs have been renamed, the standard names will not be displayed.
Why does the Player display 0 bits? Is it faulty?
No, the Player is working correctly. When the source equipment is connected but is not
playing, there is no data – just digital silence. The Player correctly reports zero active
data bits until the source starts playing, then it detects the number of active bits and
updates the display. 0 bits may be displayed briefly between tracks also.
You can select the digital inputs from the app by going to the Home page and selecting
Digital.
