APOWER
Use this button to turn the unit on or off. When the unit is on, the ring surrounding the button lights up.
The equipment draws nominal
BWORD
Use this button to switch between word sync modes. A mode indicator lights up to show the current mode (blue indicators showing normal modes, and a purple indicator showing the 4% down mode). The indicator blinks when no usable word sync signal is detected. No indicator lights when word sync is not being used.
OUT
Lets the unit internally generate and send out Word Clock so the unit acts as a master.
IN
This mode provides a stable sync operation with most general external clocks. There are occasions when sync is not achieved depending on the output accuracy of the devices in use. This is because the word clock input frequency range of this unit is set to as narrow as ±15ppm, a requirement in order to achieve a sync of high accuracy.
Rb IN
This is a mode designed for external clocks of a higher degree of precision like a rubidium clock generator. Select this mode when this unit is connected to the ESOTERIC
Switch the mode to IN when “WRD UNLOCK” or “WRD ERROR!” is shown.
Off (tuned off)
The unit does not use any word sync.
4% down mode
Pressing and holding this button for more than 3 seconds switches the unit back and forth between 4% down and normal modes.
<Selecting IN or Rb IN modes achieves sync by using an external clock as master. When in those modes, the word clock fed into the WORD SYNC IN terminal is directly sent out through the WORD SYNC OUT terminal.
<This unit readily accepts a maximum 196 kHz clock and automatically switches itself to the incoming signal.
<When selecting IN or Rb IN modes, the corresponding indicator blinks and searches for an external clock. When the unit detects a clock and locks to it, the indicator lights steadily (blue) to show that the unit is ready for play.
<Make connections to the WORD SYNC terminals prior to powering on the unit.
