Digital Connections Using R-BUS
The XV-5080 comes equipped with an R-BUS connector. This
connector allows you to make an eight-channel digital
connection using a single R-BUS cable (RBC-1/RBC-5;
optional). In addition, you can connect the R-BUS connector
to a DIF-AT, AE-7000, or other such digital device, making it
possible for you to convert to different digital formats.
* The XV-5080's R-BUS is for output only.
Only the R-BUS devices listed in the Owner’s Manual may be
connected to the R-BUS (RMDB2) connector. Be careful not to
connect any other devices (such as SCSI-type devices, RS-
232C-type devices, parallel-type devices, etc.) even though
they have similar-looking connectors. Use only a specially
designed R-BUS (RMDB2) cable to make connections.

Digital Interface

Master Clock

This sets the master clock used for the output.
Settings Values:
INTERNAL: The XV-5080 serves as the master.
R-BUS: Synchronizes to the clock arriving at R-BUS. The XV-
5080 operates as the slave.
WORD CLOCK IN: Synchronizes to the clock arriving at
WORD CLOCK. The XV-5080 operates as the slave.
* When the XV-5080 operates as a slave, it can be synchronized
to clocks running at 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz. It cannot be
synchronized to clocks running at other rates.
* The sync status is indicated in parentheses. “Unlocked” means
that the devices are not synchronized.

Master Freq (Master Frequency)

Settings Values: 44.1/48 kHz
This sets the master clock used for the output.

DIF Control

DIF-AT Clk Select (DIF-AT Clock Select)

This selects the source of the DIF-AT synchronization signal
when digital signals between digital devices are
synchronized.
* This setting is required only when synchronizing signals with
an ADAT or DA-88 through the DIF-AT.
Settings Values:
R-BUS: The synchronization signal input through the DIF-
AT’s R-BUS connector is used for the master.
ADAT: The synchronization signal input through the DIF-
AT’s ADAT connector is used for the master.
DA-88: The synchronization signal input through the DIF-
AT’s DA-88 connector is used for the master.
Here is the basic procedure for making the settings.
1. Press [SYSTEM/UTILITY], causing the indicator to light.
* If the indicator is flashing, it means that the XV-5080 is in
Utility mode. In this case, press [SYSTEM/UTILITY] once
more so the indicator is lit, but not flashing.
2. Press [F2 (Outp&EQ)] to display the SYSTEM Output
screen.
3. Press [ ], [ ], [ ], or [ ] to move the cursor to
the parameter you want to set.
4. Turn the VALUE dial or press [INC] or [DEC] to set the
value.
* If you happen to make a mistake with a setting and press
[UNDO], the parameter reverts to the value in effect when the
cursor was moved to the parameter.
5. Press [EXIT] to return to the current PLAY screen

Output Gain

Gain

Settings Values: -12, -6, 0, +6, +12 dB
This adjusts the output gain from the XV-5080’s Analog Out
and Digital Out. When, for example, there are relatively few
voices being sounded, boosting the output gain can let you
attain the most suitable output level for recording and other
purposes.
