Clock is not synchronized.
IN
This unit's master clock is synchronized to the clock signal (44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 96 kHz, 176.4 kHz, 192 kHz or 10 MHz) input through the CLOCK SYNC IN connector and used for operation.
MCK
The 22.5792MHz/24.576MHz signal input through the CLOCK SYNC IN connector is used as the master clock.
OUT
The clock signal set with CLKOUT is output from the CLOCK SYNC OUT connector.
Clock output settings
Display (CLK\_TH>\*\*\* )
This sets the clock output during clock input mode.
OFF
No clock signal is output from the CLOCK SYNC OUT connector.
ON
Clock with the same frequency as the input clock is output from the CLOCK SYNC OUT connector.
Clock output frequency settings
Display (CLKOUT>\*\*\* )
This sets the frequency output from the CLOCK SYNC OUT connector when this unit is set as the master clock (CLK>OUT).
44
Output is at 44.1 kHz.
48
Output is at 48 kHz.
88
Output is at 88.2 kHz.

Analog output setting
Display (AOUT>\*\*\* )
XLR2
Analog audio signals are output through the XLR connectors with pin 2 HOT.
XLR3
Analog audio signals are output through the XLR connectors with pin 3 HOT.

Analog audio signals are output through the RCA connectors.
OFF
Analog audio is not output and the D/A converter circuit stops operating.
Digital output setting
Display (DOUT>\*\*\* )
OFF
Digital output is disabled.
ON
Digital output is enabled.
- Signals are output according to the upconversion setting and the input source signals.
- Digital output is possible at resolutions up to 192kHz PCM and 2.8MHz DSD (DoP).
If these limits are exceeded because of the upconversion setting or input source signals, no signal will be output. - When UPCONV> is set to FIX (fixed output format mode), digital signals will be output according to the FIX> (fixed output format) setting regardless of the format of the input source signals. This allows audio files in a playlist to all be output digitally even if they have various different sampling frequencies.
Automatic display darkening setting
Display (DPaOFF>\*\*\* )
ON
The display will automatically darken after playback remains stopped for 30 minutes.
OFF
The display will not automatically darken.
- We recommend setting this to ON because display brightness irregularities might occur if the same information is shown without change for a long time.
Automatic power saving setting
Display (APS>\*\*\* )
●By default, the setting is 30m.
When the input source is RCA1, RCA2, OPT or USB, the unit will turn off automatically if the set amount of time passes without being able to lock an input signal from the selected input source.
- The input sources that are not selected have no effect on automatic power saving.

If you experience a problem with this unit, please take a moment to review the following information before requesting service. Moreover, the problem might be caused by something other than this unit. Please also check the operation of the connected units. If this product still does not operate correctly, contact the retailer where you purchased it.
General
The unit does not turn on.
→Insert the power plug into an outlet.
→Check the connection of the power cord to this unit.
The unit automatically turns off.
→This is because the automatic power saving function turned it off.
Press the POWER button on the main unit to turn it on.
Change the automatic power saving setting if necessary (page 17).
The unit does not respond when buttons are pressed.
→ Multiple button presses without pause can cause the unit to stop responding. After pressing a button, wait momentarily for the unit to respond.
There is noise.
→Place the unit as far away as possible from TVs and other devices that have strong magnetism.
No sound is output from the speakers. The sound is distorted.
→ Check the connections with the amp and the speakers (page 8).
→Adjust the volume of the amplifier and other devices.
→No sound is output when playback is paused. Press the play (▶) button to resume ordinary playback.
→Check the analog output setting (page 17).
Clock sync
The CLOCK indicator does not stop blinking.
→Set clock synchronization mode to OFF when not using it.
→A clock signal with which the unit cannot be synchronized might be being input. Check the connection of the CLOCK SYNC IN connector and the settings of the connected device.
A beeping noise is output at a regular interval.
If a beeping noise is output at a regular interval when the unit is in clock sync mode, the connected device might not also be in clock sync mode. Check the connection of the CLOCK SYNC IN connector and the clock sync mode setting of the connected device.
An audio file cannot be played back (correctly).
Different media servers (NAS) support different types of files. Use a recommended media server (MinimServer) to enable the full functionality of the N-05.
The sound breaks up during playback.
If MP3s and other files with low bit rates play back normally, but files at 384 kHz and other high bit rates break up, the ETHERNET speed might be too slow. The audio data is transmitted from the NAS through the router. For this reason, using LAN cables to connect the NAS to the router and the router to this unit is preferable.
USB connections with a computer
Computer does not recognize this unit.
This unit can be connected by USB and used with a computer running one of the following operating systems (as of February, 2016).

Operation with other operating systems cannot be assured.
There is noise.
Starting other applications during playback of a music file may interrupt playback or cause noise. Do not start other applications during playback.
When the unit is connected to a computer via a USB hub, for example, noise might be heard. If this occurs, connect the unit directly to the computer.
Audio files cannot be played back.
Connect the computer with this unit and switch to USB before starting the music playback software and music file playback. Audio data might not play back correctly if you connect this unit with the computer or change its input to USB after starting the music playback software.
Since this unit uses a microcontroller, external noise and other interference can cause the unit to malfunction. In such a case, turn the unit off and wait about one minute before restarting operation from the beginning.
