Crosstalk is caused by stray inductances and capacitances between components and lines, which results in unintentional mixing of stereo signals. Meticulous wire routing ensures excellent high-frequency separation.

Crosstalk

-100dB @ 1kHz

Crosstalk is caused by stray inductances and capacitances between components and lines, which results in unintentional mixing of stereo signals. Meticulous wire routing ensures excellent high-frequency separation.

Channel Balance

0.1dB

Channel balance is the difference in level between the left and right channels.

Digital Sampling Frequency

44.1kHz

The digital sampling frequency for compact discs conforming to the red-book CD standard is 44.1kHz.

Resolution

16-bits

The resolution, or data word-length, for compact discs conforming to the red-book CD standard is 16-bits.

Digital Output Impedance

75Ω

The SPDIF standard dictates 75S transmission of the digital signal. Output impedance which differs from this causes poor jitter and noise performance due to reflections and signal loss.

Digital Output Voltage

0.6Vp-p

The SPDIF standard requires the output voltage to be between 0.4Vp-pand 0.6Vp-p. Setting the output voltage at the upper limit allows for signal losses due to low terminating impedance or long cable length.

Compatible Media Formats

CD, CD-R, CD-RW

CD, CD-R and CD-RW media, including Mixed Mode audio and data content, will function consistently and reliably.

Upon releasing the button, the disc will play. If the start of the disc is reached the disc will stop The 50-wayheader allows connection to the SXCD transport unit using the ribbon cable supplied The RJ45 pins are configured for RS232 as follows 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 Page Use only the supplied 50-wayribbon cable Transport ModuleUnderside Functions Electronics InterfaceThe disc drawer glides out to accept a compact disc and retracts to play it.

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 S I L H O U E T T E S X C D Extended Warranty3 Year Extended Warranty Form Registration FormTroubleshooting 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.
