Caution!

Caution!

The SXCD compact disc player facilitates this functionality by allowing the internal master clock to be disabled and sourced from an external device, such as an external digital to analog converter (DAC).

The RJ45 pins are configured for using an external master clock as follows:

Pin 6: Master Clock Input

Pin 7: Ground (GND)

Pin 8: Internal Clock Disable

To enable this function the internal master clock must first be disabled by connecting the Internal Clock Disable (Pin 8) to GND. The master clock from the external device can then be supplied to the Master Clock Input (Pin 6).

The frequency of the external master clock must be 11.2896MHz.

RC-5 Input

This 3.5mm stereo jack allows standard CD player RC-5 remote control codes to control the basic functions of the SXCD compact disc player.

IR Repeater Port

Directly connecting to a device with an infrared (IR) repeater port, via a 3.5mm stereo plug cable, allows easy integration into automation and control solutions such as Niles and Xantech.

Each 3.5mm stereo plug must follow the specifications as per the diagram below:

Sleeve: Ground (GND)

Ring: No connection

Tip: Signal

Do not use a mono 3.5mm plug when directly connecting the RC-5 input to an infrared (IR) repeater port.

A stereo 3.5mm plug must be used to avoid damage to the SXCD. Using a stereo 3.5mm plug will not harm the infrared (IR) repeater port.
