For more information on digital output specifications, please refer to Chapter 12.
Use a 75Ω digital interconnect cable equipped with BNC connectors to get the best possible digital performance, such as the coaxial cable supplied.
Using the supplied adaptor to convert the BNC output to RCA will not degrade the signal any more than if an RCA connector was fitted by default.
pLINK Port
This RJ45 connector offers two functions – communication using the RS232 protocol and the ability to use the master clock of an external source.
RS232 Communication
Basic functions of the SXCD compact disc player can be controlled using the RS232 serial communication protocol.
The RJ45 pins are configured for RS232 as follows:
Pin 1: 5V
Pin 2: CMOS/TTL Receive (RX)
Pin 3: CMOS/TTL Transmit (TX)
Pin 4: Ground (GND)
An adaptor, available from your Perreaux dealer, enables integration via RS232 with control products; such as AMX, Crestron and Control4.
Attempting to use the pLINK port for RS232 without the necessary adaptor will result in damage to the SXCD, and may also damage the control device.
External Master Clock
Best jitter performance in any digital system occurs when there is a single master clock in the entire system and that clock is located as close as possible to the conversion stage.
