EXT SYNC playback

In this mode, the unit will play back in synchronization with the clock selected as digital input source (OPTICAL, COAXIAL, AES/EBU).

When stopped, use the EXT SYNC option in the PLAY sub-menu (see “Operation basics” on page 16) to set the external synch playback mode on.

Select the input source for sync playback.

NOTE

When the EXT SYNC is on, and when the unit detects a signal other than 44.1kHz, synchronization with the clock of the selected digital input source may fail, and EXTCLKErr! will be displayed. The audio playback may also be affected.

If the selected digital input source is at 48kHz, using the 48k Fs adjustment function allows the audio to be played back at the correct pitch.

When stopped, and when in playback or playback ready mode, press the SYNC REC key to turn the 48k Fs adjustment function on or off. When the function is on, 48k Fs Adj will be displayed.

The setting remains until the EXT SYNC function is set to off, and even the power is turned off.

NOTE

When the 48k Fs Adjustment is on, and when the unit detects a signal other than 48kHz, synchronization with the clock of the selected digital input source may fail. The audio playback may also be affected.

When the 48k Fs adjustment is on, the Pitch control and Key control functions cannot be used.
