Connection examples (connecting three D-03)

Example 1:

when no clock generator is available

P-01	WORD			i.LINK(AUDIO)
P-03	SYNC
		IN		(IEEE 1394)
D-03	WORD		WORD i.LINK(AUDIO)
(L/R)	SYNC		SYNC	i.LINK(AUDIO)
		IN	OUT
	WORD		WORD
D-03				i.LINK(AUDIO)
(C/LFE)	SYNC		SYNC	i.LINK(AUDIO)
		IN	OUT
			WORD
D-03				i.LINK(AUDIO)
			SYNC
(LS/RS)			OUT

Example 2:

when a clock generator is available

Clock generator (G-0/G-0s)

WORD SYNC OUT

P-01	i.LINK(AUDIO)	WORD
P-03	(IEEE 1394)	SYNC
		IN
D-03	i.LINK(AUDIO)	WORD
(L/R)	i.LINK(AUDIO)	SYNC
		IN
		WORD
D-03	i.LINK(AUDIO)
	i.LINK(AUDIO)	SYNC
(C/LFE)		IN
		WORD
D-03	i.LINK(AUDIO)
(LS/RS)		SYNC
		IN

Three D-03 units are required to play multi-channel Super Audio CD or DVD audio without down-mixing.

First, connect the i.LINK (AUDIO) terminal on the Super Audio CD transport unit (P-01/P-03) to the D-03 i.LINK (AUDIO) terminal. Then connect the other i.LINK (AUDIO) terminal on the D-03 to the next D-03 unit. Daisy chain the three units similarly (in random order). Connect the Word sync terminals as shown in example 1 (in random order).

When connecting clock generator G-0/G-0s to the D-03, connect the WORD CLOCK OUT terminals on the G-0/G-0s word clock generator to the WORD SYNC IN on each device (example 2).
