This pair take in and give out Word Clock, and can be set to Bit Clock for DSD. The functions are set by the menu. Clock In is terminated and Clock Out is regenerated internally, so these lines can be used for daisy chaining many units together, without loading problems. See Figure 18 and Figure 19 for the time alignment of these signals.

Remote In & Out9 pin D type male (2 off)

If the Windows™ Remote software is in use, connecting Remote In to a com port (RS-232 port) on a PC running the Remote Control program allows the unit to be controlled by the PC. Remote Out may be connected to another suitably equipped dCS unit, allowing several units to controlled by the same PC with one RS-232 daisy chain. In addition, the unit may be software upgraded without removing the lid by downloading new software via the Remote In port – see Installing New Software on page 71.

Connect up Remote ports using a 9-way screened cable, fitted with 9-way ‘D’- type connectors at each end, wired pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2, etc. The same type of cable can be used unit to units as com port to first unit. Suitable cables are available from dCS.
