Q. MyCDpla~,er has both fibre optic and coaxial outputs. Whichone should I use?
A. Givena choice, weprefer the AT&Toptical link due to its ability to completelyisolate the groundsbetween the digital source componentand the Processor. This minimizesthe possibifity of groundloops in the digital components.The AT&Tformat also has the

Q. While listening to mySTUDIO experience occa- sional periods of silence through myspeakers. Is my processor malfunctioning?
A. Dropouts are caused by two primary reasons. First, drop outs can be caused by data corruption. Corruptionin the data maybe due to a poor input connection, damaged
or dirty source material, or interconnects whichdo. not have a wide enoughbandwidth. The second item that causes the processorto reset is the presenceof a transient
spike on the incomingACpowerline. The processor is resetting all of its digital processingcircuits so that it can
be assured that all are properly synchronized.Try chang- ing your source material and check your connections..If these are not the cause, speak with your dealer about obtainingdifferent cabling. If youare using fiber optics, and source material and connections are not the problem, speak with your authorized dealer.
