i.LINK (AUDIO) Output Setting
When the i.LINK (AUDIO) terminal is connected to an amplifier or
a D/A converter, select proper i.LINK output setting.
When playback is stopped, hold down the STOP button for
more than 2 seconds and release it when “i.60958”,
“i.PCM” or “i.OFF” appears on the display.
Each time the STOP button is pressed for 2 seconds, the output
setting changes.
When using the i.LINK terminal, select “i.60958” or
“i.PCM”, and set the Digital Output setting to “ON”.
i.60958
DSD signal is output during playback of a Super Audio CD.
The digital signal in IEC60958 format is output during
playback of a CD.
i.PCM
DSD signal is output during playback of a Super Audio CD.
Linear PCM digital signal is output during playback of a CD.
< Some amplifiers may regard this signal as DVD-Audio.
i.OFF (default)
Select this when you don’t use the i.LINK (AUDIO) terminal.
No signal is output from the i.LINK (AUDIO) terminal.
< There is no difference between i.60958 and i.PCM as far as
Super Audio CD playback is concerned.
<
Set the Analog Out setting to “Multi ch” to output the
surround sound from a Super Audio CD.
When the Analog Out setting is set to “2ch”, the multi-
channel sound is downmixed to 2 channels.
<
In case you experience any problem with the audio output,
read the instructions of the connected component to check
the adaptable format.
Flow Status
While the display shows “i.60958” or “i.PCM”, repeatedly
press the STOP button to turn ON or OFF the flow status.
If the component connected via the i.LINK terminal is
compatible with the flow rate control, and if you set the flow
status of the X-03 ON, the connected component will work in
the flow rate control mode.
<
Though the flow status function of the X-03 is not same as
the flow rate control, RAM buffer of the connected
component will absorb clock differences and control the flow
rate using the clock of the connected component.
<
In the following cases, set the flow status OFF:
• The connected component isn’t compatible with the flow
rate control.
• Though the connected component is compatible with the
flow rate control, the flow rate control doesn’t work
properly with this unit.
• Sound skips.
<
When the flow status is set to ON, “i.60958 FL” or “i.PCM
FLOW” will appear on the display instead of “i.60958” or
“i.PCM”.
