Caution!

Transport Interface

The 50-way header allows connection to the SXCD transport unit using the ribbon cable supplied.

This header is polarised, please note polarity of mating plug when connecting the ribbon cable.

Damage may occur to the transport and/or electronics if ribbon cable is connected with the incorrect polarity.

Use only the supplied 50-way ribbon cable.

Analog Outputs

These single-ended (RCA) outputs provide line-level analog audio, via suitable RCA interconnect cables, to a preamplifier or integrated amplifier.

For more information on analog output specifications, please refer to Chapter 12.

Digital Output

The single-ended (BNC) output provides a Sony/Philips Digital Interface Standard (SPDIF) digital audio signal to an outboard digital to analog converter (DAC) or digital receiver.

The SPDIF standard dictates 75< transmission of the digital audio signal. Use a digital interconnect cable specifically designed with a characteristic impedance of 75<, such as the coaxial cable supplied.

A BNC connector has been used in place of the “standard” RCA type because RCA connectors can never achieve a characteristic impedance of 75<. Refer to Chapter 7 ‘Special Design Features’ for more information on why a BNC connector is used.

Filtering is heavily employed throughout to stop conducted digital noise infecting power supplies and sensitive circuits, and greatly reduce radiated noise Care and Maintenance Warranty Information Extended Warranty 3 Year Extended Warranty FormRegistration Form S I L H O U E T T E S X C DTroubleshooting Guide Check that a disc is inserted for the SXCD to play 12Specifications Transport Component Crosstalk is caused by stray inductances and capacitances between components and lines, which results in unintentional mixing of stereo signals.
