Krell Industries SBP-32X manual G. Questions And Answers

G. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q. MyCDplayer has both fiber optic and coaxial out- puts. Whichone should I use?

A. Givena choice, weprefer the optical link due to its ability to completely isolate the grounds between the digital source componentand the processor. This mini- mi-zes the possibility.of ground loops in the digital com- ponents.

Q. I ownboth a CDand DATplayer. Do I have to change mycables every time I listen to a different digital source?

A. No. Your SBP-32Xwill accommodateboth the fiber optic link and coaxial input. Simply connect both sources

using the separate inputs.

NOTE:.When the SBP-32Xsenses two live inputs simul- taneously, it will default to the fibre optic link. Therefore, whenyou wish to listen to the source linked with coaxial

cable, you must turn the other (optically linked) source off.

a~Will I damage my SBP-32Xif I leave the power "ON" i the time?

A. No. The Class"A" discrete analog circuits perform more consistently once they reach thermal equilibrium. Theprocessor has been designed to be left on at all times. The SBP-32Xdraws less than 25 watts out of the AC mains socket.

NOTE:For the protection of your processor we recom- menddisconnecting the ACcord fiom the wall outlet before any electrical storms or if you plan on being away from your homefor prolonged periods of time.

Q. Do I have to switch the Sampling Frequency when I ~o between myCDand DAT?

¯ No. Your SBP-32Xautomatically senses the input frequency and does all necessary switching.

Q. Sometimes while listening to myDATthe 44. lkHz LEDis illuminated. I thought DATused 48kHz. Is my processor malfunctioning?

A. SomeDigital Audio Tape recorders can record an.d playback in either 44. l kHzor 48kHzdependingo.,n tlae

sour.c,e the tape was recorded from. The SBP-32Xs LEDs are informing you of the frequency it is receiving,

and as a consequence, the sampling frequency at which the tape was recorded in.
