Conducted and radiated digital noise can wreak havoc on power supplies and sensitive circuits. Filtering is heavily employed throughout to stop conducted digital noise infecting power supplies and sensitive circuits, and greatly reduce radiated noise.

The pLINK port provides communication to an external device via the RS232 protocol, allowing easy integration into automation and control solutions. The pLINK port also supports the capability to receive a master clock from an external source, such as an external DAC.

Standard CD player RC-5 remote control codes can be used to control the basic functions of the SXCD. Directly connecting to a device via a 3.5mm stereo plug cable allows easy integration into automation and control solutions. Alternately, by using an infrared (IR) receiver, commands can be received from any off- the-shelf universal or programmable remote controls which use the standard CD player RC-5 remote codes.

By default, the computer optical drive supports a multitude of media types and formats – allowing the SXCD to function consistently and reliably with CD-DA, CD-R and CD-RW media, including Mixed Mode audio and data content.

Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD) with Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL) backlighting, and Vacuum Fluorescent Displays (VFD) both require an inverter for operation. Inverters typically run at frequencies greater than 100kHz and are a source of conducted and radiated radio frequency (RF) interference. By excluding the display, this source of RF interference has been eliminated and cannot infect the precious power supplies or sensitive digital and analog circuitry.
