AES/EBU Digital Output
The AES 1 output carries AES/EBU digital signals, sampled at 44.1kS/s. The
data format is AES3. Data from SACDs is also available, down-sampled to 16
bit / 44.1kS/s.
Use with 110 ohm screened, twisted pair cable designed for digital audio or RF.
Unscreened cables must not be used as they may pick up interference from
other appliances.
SPDIF Digital Outputs
The SPDIF outputs (RCA or BNC) carry identical digital signals, sampled at
44.1kS/s. The data format is IEC60958, otherwise known as SPDIF. Data from
SACDs is also available, down-sampled to 16 bit / 44.1kS/s. RCA connectors
are the type commonly found on consumer equipment.
Use with 75 ohm co-axial cables designed for digital audio or RF use. Some
types of audio cable are not suitable and may cause crackling noises or other
malfunctions.
IMPORTANT! If the Copy Prohibit flag in the source data on the disc is set, you will not be
able to record the data from the SPDIF outputs.
