2 Make clock output settings.
When using the CLOCK OUT connectors
1) Set the clock reference frequency to 44.1 or 48 kHz.
Press the MENU button to open the FREQ menu and use the A and B buttons to set the frequency mode (pages 14–15).
MENU
A
B
44 (44.1 kHz)
Use for playback of CDs, Super Audio CDs and other 44.1kHz sources.
48 (48 kHz)
Use for playback of DVDs, DATs and other 48kHz sources. (Some DVDs and DATs are recorded at 44.1 kHz. In this case, use the 44.1 kHz setting.)
- When using only universal clock (100 kHz or 10 MHz), either setting is fine.
- Only use 44EXP or 48EXP for frequencies that are not covered by the 44 and 48 modes (page 15).
2) Use the A and B buttons to set the frequencies sent to connected devices (page 11).
A
B
When setting 10MHz OUT connectors
Press the 10MHz button to turn output on and off.
Use the menu to set which 10MHz OUT connectors (1–4) to use (page 16).
- If you do nothing for five or more seconds, setting mode will end and ordinary display will resume. (If DISP is set to SHORT, this will happen after three seconds.)
10MHz
3 On the connected devices, turn clock sync ON (or set to slave mode).
Read the owner's manual for each device for instructions on how to set their clock sync status properly.
If you connect this unit to devices from other manufacturers, be sure to read the manuals of those devices to confirm the clock frequencies that they can receive.
Some devices require the clock frequency to be set to the same value as the audio signal sampling frequency.
Some dual AES connections might require that the clock frequency be set to half of the audio signal frequency.
- Due to the nature of the crystal oscillator (OCXO), continuous operation stabilizes the precision of operation, so we recommend turning the preheat (PrHEAT) setting ON (page 16).
●Settings are retained even when the power is turned off. - Once settings have been made, those settings can be used when the power is turned on again.
Set the frequency mode according to the type of disc to be played or device being used (page 15).
Clock output frequency setting
You can set the clock frequency output from the CLOCK OUT connectors.
- This unit has 2 pairs (A and B) of clock outputs that can be separated further into 4 individual outputs (A1, A2, B1 and B2). You can set the clock frequency independently for each of these outputs.
- By default, the A and B outputs are set to be used as pairs.
Setting A and B outputs by pair (default)
When you change the A setting, the output frequency is set for both A1 and A2 simultaneously. Follow the same procedure for B.
When "A >" or "B >" appears, pressing the A or B button changes the output frequency of that pair. Press repeatedly to cycle through the options.
- Press and hold the A or B button for at least two seconds to set A2 or B2, respectively (See "Setting A2 or B2").
- If you do nothing for ten or more seconds, setting mode will end and ordinary display will resume. (If DISP is set to SHORT, this will happen after three seconds.)
Setting A1, A2, B1 or B2
Press the A button for at least two seconds until "A2>" appears. Then, press the A button to change the A2 setting. You can set different clock frequencies for A1 and A2. Follow the same procedure for B.
Setting A1 or B1
When A2 is set to any value that is not the same as the A1 setting, when "A1>" appears, press the A button to change just the A1 output frequency. Follow the same procedure for B.
Setting A2 or B2
Press the A or B button for at least two seconds to set A2 or B2.
When "A2>" appears, press the A button to change just the A2 output frequency. Follow the same procedure for B.
- To set A1 after setting A2, press the A button again after returning to the ordinary display.
- If you set A2 to the same value as A1, "A" will appear again, and you can set the output frequency used by both outputs in the A pair simultaneously. Follow the same procedure for B (See "Setting A and B outputs by pair (default)").

- Due to the nature of the crystal oscillator (OCXO), continuous operation stabilizes the precision of operation, so we recommend turning this ON.
OFF
The POWER button turns the crystal oscillator (OCXO) on/off with the unit.
ON
This turns the power for the crystal oscillator (OCXO) on regardless of the POWER button setting. This shortens the amount of time until the oscillator stabilizes after the unit is turned on.
- When the unit power is off, clock is not output even though the crystal oscillator (OCXO) is operating.
- If the crystal oscillator (OCXO) is always on, the unit will consume considerably more power when the unit is off.

Messages
PLL LCKING
The 10 MHz reference clock from the built-in crystal oscillator (OCXO) or the reference frequency input (EXT IN) connector is being locked by the internal PLL circuit.
When locking completes, this message will disappear.
- Ordinarily, only a few seconds are needed until locking completes (PLL locking time), but it can take up to a minute depending on the operating temperature and other factors.
- If locking cannot be completed because input conditions are not met when set to EXT10M, the message will continue to be displayed.
Check the input reference clock specifications.
NO 10M-IN!
This appears when the reference clock is set to EXT10M and no 10MHz reference clock signal is being input to the reference frequency input (EXT IN) connector.
Check the input reference clock.
When not using an external clock source, set it to OCXO (page 16).
Maintenance
Use a soft dry cloth to wipe the surface of the unit clean.
For stubborn smudges, use a damp cloth that has been thoroughly wrung out to remove excess moisture.
For safety, disconnect the power plug from the outlet before cleaning.
●Never spray liquid directly on this unit.
- Do not use chemically-treated wipes, thinner or similar substances because they could damage the surface of the unit.
- Avoid allowing rubber or plastic materials to touch the unit for long periods of time because they could damage the cabinet.
Troubleshooting
If you experience a problem with this unit, please take a moment to review the following information before requesting service. If this product still does not operate correctly, contact the retailer where you purchased it.
The unit does not turn on.
→Check that the power cord is plugged into a working power outlet.
→Check that the power cord is properly connected to this unit.
The clock output is not synchronizing another device.
→Confirm that the clock being output is supported by the device connected to this unit. (Select a clock frequency that the connected device can use.)
The input and synchronization of clock signals might vary according to the device. Refer to the owner's manual of each device for how to connect and set them.
The desired frequency cannot be selected by pressing the A and B buttons.
→Set the reference frequency with the frequency mode setting (FREQ) first, and then use the A and B buttons (page 15).
