Esoteric UX-3 Pi F i.LINK AUDIO terminal, G Digital audio output terminals, channel FRONT

Fi.LINK (AUDIO) terminal

Digital audio from Super Audio CD, DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, CD and video CD is output from i.LINK (AUDIO) terminal.

Connect the this terminal to an amplifier using a commercially available S400 compatible i.LINK (IEEE1394) 6 pin cable.

Following settings are necessary to use this terminal:

•Set the Digital Output setting to “ON” (see page 35).

•Set the i.LINK output setting to “60958” or “PCM”. When you select “60958”, properly set the Digital output formats.

Check the following settings if necessary:

Analog output settings (see page 35)

Speaker setup (see pages 41-43)

GDigital audio output terminals

Digital audio from DVD-Video, DVD-Audio (2ch only), CD and video CD is output from these terminals.

The unit may be connected using either coaxial or optical (TOS) commercially available cables to amplifiers including a decoder, or to digital audio devices such as CD recorders, etc.

COAXIAL: Use RCA (pin) digital audio cable

OPTICAL: Use optical digital audio cable (TOS)

<The optical terminal is covered by a shutter. Make sure that the cable is firmly inserted, but do not force the cable when connecting it or removing it, in order not to cause damage to the unit.

<This terminal cannot output the digital audio from a Super Audio CD.

<This terminal cannot output the digital surround audio from a DVD-Audio disc.

<DVD-Audio disc signals are converted where necessary from 192kHz or 176.4kHz to 96kHz/88.2kHz or 48kHz/44.1kHz. However, there may be some occasions when digital audio cannot be output by the unit from such a disc.

Following settings are necessary to use this terminal:

•Set the Digital Output setting to “ON” (see page 35).

•Properly set the Digital output formats (see page 43).

H Analog audio output terminals

2 channel (FRONT)

Use either the XLR or RCA (pin) FRONT terminals for analog stereo output.

If your amplifier has balanced XLR analog audio inputs, connect the XLR jacks on the unit to the amplifier’s XLR jacks, otherwise use the RCA (pin) connections.

If you are connecting only 2 channels, set “Analog Output” to “2 ch” to downmix the multi-channel material to two channels (see page 35).

5.1 channel (UX-1 Pi only)
	For surround (5.1) amplifiers with analog inputs, also use the
	RCA (pin) SURROUND pair, CENTER and SUBWOOFER	ENGLISH
	connections (in addition to the FRONT pair).
	When using 5.1 channel terminals, set “Analog Output”
	to “Multi ch” to enjoy surround sound (see page 35).
