Krell Industries MD10 Turntable User Manual


 
8. Connect the Digital Output from the MD-10 to a Krell
Digital Processor or other compatible digital-to-analog
audio processor.
The MD-10 is compatible with industry standard Fibre
~O_[?tic, Coaxial RCA, AT&T wide bandwidth Fibre Optic
~1 type and AES/EBU XLR output connectors.
NOTE: Care should be taken in selecting the type of
cable used to lin.k the MD,10 to your processor. We
recommend botla the AT&T Fibre Optic due to its supe-
rior bandwidth and signal isolation properties, and ttie
AES/EBU format due to its higher voltage transmission
and noise rejection due to balanced format.
CAUTION: The MD-10 is a CD Transport only. It is not
designed to connect directly to any preamp or analog
signal processor.
The MD-10 is equipped with a sp.ecial terminatiop sys-
tem called TimeSync. TimeSync is a system that locks.
the clock between the MD-10 and specific Krell digital-
to-analog processors. This connection is labeled
SPECIAL on the back of the MD-10. The termination is
via an AT&T fibre optic cable only and is used in con-
junction with any of-the other digital links like the AT&T
or AES/EBU.
NOTE: The TimeSync system can ~ be utilized with
certain Krell digitaI-to-analog converters and will not
work with any other make or model. Please consult your
dealer or the Krell staff for specific information.
NOTE: The TimeSync output can not be used as an addi-
tional digital output.
TIMESYNC CONNECTION
The TimeSync system is terminated via an AT&T ST
fibre optic cable.
1. Connect the AT&T fibre optic cable to the termination
labeled SPECIAL on the MD-10. Make sure the small
key at the top of the fibre optic cable is upright and fits
smoothly into the AT&T receptacle, twist the collar
clockwise to lock the cable in place.
2. Connect the free end of the fibre optic cable to the
termination labeled TimeSync/Ext clock on the back of
your Krell digital-to-analog converter.
