ADigital audio output terminals

Digital audio is output from these terminals.

Connect these terminals to the digital input terminals of D/A converters (D-01) using commercially available cables.

XLR: Use balanced XLR digital audio cable

COAXIAL: Use RCA (pin) digital audio cable IEEE1394 / i.LINK (AUDIO):

Use S400 compatible IEEE1394 6pin cable

To output digital surround sound from SACD discs, the ES-LINK compatible D/A converter, or an IEEE1394 (i.LINK S400 (AUDIO)) compatible D/A converter is necessary.

See pages 8-11 for details on the connection to the Esoteric D-01 or TEAC D-70.

If your D/A converter doesn’t have an IEEE1394 terminal nor ES-LINK terminal, connect P-01’s FL/FR terminal (XLR or RCA) to the digital input terminal of the D/A converter. In this case, the P-01 cannot output digital sound from SACD.

<The IEEE 1394 terminal is an interface capable of bi- directional data transmission with a connected device. You don’t need to be concerned with distinguishing between input and output.

<No digital output is available at the RCA C/SW and LS/RS terminals at this time. If no ES-LINK-capable device is connected, no digital output is available at the XLR C/SW and LS/RS terminals, either. When updated in the future, this unit will have the capability of outputting multi-channel digital audio coming from DVD-Audio sources.

BDigital audio output terminals (NORMAL)

Conventional digital audio from CD is output from this terminal. Connect this terminal to the digital input terminal of a digital device using a commercially available RCA digital audio cable.

<When you are using this terminal, select ON in the “D-OUT Norm” setting (see page 28).

<This terminal cannot output digital sound from SACD discs.

<This terminal cannot output up-converted signals.

CWord sync input terminal

This allows the use of an externally generated word clock connection, using a commercially available BNC coaxial cable (75Ω).

Devices producing such a suitable clock signal include external D-A converters, or dedicated word clock generators. Connect the WORD SYNC OUT of such a device to the unit.

DSIGNAL GND connection

Use a commercially available PVC-covered cord to connect the signal ground terminal on the unit to the amplifier signal ground.

<Note that this is NOT an electrical safety ground (earth).

EDC IN/OUT connector

Connect the DC OUT connectors of the power supply unit to the DC IN connectors of the main unit using the supplied DC power cables.

DC OUT 1 q DC IN 1

DC OUT 2 q DC IN 2

<The DC power cables carry arrow marks on them. Connect them so that the arrows point as shown on the opposite page. Making sure of the position of the cut-out in the end of the plug and the direction of the arrow on the DC power cable, hold the body of the plug, align the cut-out with the guide mark on the connector and inset the plug until it clicks in and locks in place. When unplugging the cable, firmly grasp the barrel or locking ring around the end of the plug and pull directly toward you. Do not push or pull the plug at an angle when plugging or unplugging the cable.

<Always switch off the power before plugging or unplugging the DC power cable.

<Be careful not to get your fingers pinched between the end of the plug and the connector.

Connector

Align using this mark.

Grasp the ring and pull toward you to unplug the cable.

Plug

FPower cord receptacle

After all other connections have been made, insert the supplied AC power cord into this receptacle, then connect the other end of the power cord into the AC power source. Ensure that your AC voltage corresponds to the voltage marked on the rear panel of the unit. Consult a qualified electrician if you are in doubt.

<In order to avoid the risk of electric shock, fire, or other hazard, only use the supplied power cord or a suitably approved OEM power cord.

<If you are not going to use the unit for some time, disconnect the power cord from the wall socket.
