ANALOG OUT N Q

2 – Features of the CD-RW2000—Connections

Audio signals output from the unit are output from the balanced and unbalanced

jacks, as well as from the DIGITAL AES/EBU OUT

W, DIGITAL COAXIAL OUT jack X and DIGITAL

OPTICAL OUT connector Y simultaneously.

2.4.1Word sync connections

It may be necessary to synchronize the CD-RW2000 to an external audio word clock when playing back material. One example when this might be used is when the digital outputs of the CD-RW2000 are con- nected to a digital mixing console, which is serving as the word clock source for the setup.

In this case, the WORD SYNC OUT of the word clock master (the digital mixing console) should be connected to the WORD SYNC IN V of the CD- RW2000.

To select the external WORD SYNC IN signal as the CD-RW2000’s clock source:

1With a disc inserted, and the unit in stop mode (playback stopped), repeatedly press the MENU key (9 or 6) until the display shows

WORDSYNC>XXX where XXX is either ON or OFF.

2Use the MULTI DIAL control B or the SKIP keys H to set the function to ON.

The WORD indicator 7 will light if a valid

clock source is available, otherwise the display will alternate the message Word CLK Err (word clock error) with the time display.

If the CD-RW2000 is receiving a word clock sync signal, and is also acting as the word clock source for any units which receive digital audio from the CD- RW2000 (remember that AES/EBU and IEC60958 signals are self-clocking), the 75Ω terminator switch U should be set to OFF.

NOTE

Entering record ready mode (or record mode) with the word sync enabled will disable the word sync. The front panel WORD indicator 7 will go out.

If the CD-RW2000 is the last unit in the word clock chain, the 75Ω terminator switch U should be set to ON.

NOTE

There should be one, and only one, word clock source in a digital audio setup. Multiple word clocks in a setup may result in damage to equipment.
