QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q. My CD player has both fiber optic and coaxial out-
puts. Which one should I use?
A. Given a choice, we prefer the optical link due to its
ability to completely isolate the grounds between the
digital source component and the processor. This mini-
mi-zes the possibility.of ground loops in the digital com-
ponents.
Q. I own both a CD and DAT player. Do I have to change
my cables every time I listen to a different digital source?
A. No. Your SBP-32X will accommodate both the fiber
optic link and coaxial input. Simply connect both sources
using the separate inputs.
NOTE: .When the SBP-32X senses two live inputs simul-
taneously, it will default to the fibre optic link. Therefore,
when you wish to listen to the source linked with coaxial
cable, you must turn the other (optically linked) source
off.
a~Will I damage my SBP-32X if I leave the power "ON"
i the time?
A. No. The Class"A" discrete analog circuits perform
more consistently once they reach thermal equilibrium.
The processor has been designed to be left on at all times.
The SBP-32X draws less than 25 watts out of the AC
mains socket.
NOTE: For the protection of your processor we recom-
mend disconnecting the AC cord fiom the wall outlet
before any electrical storms or if you plan on being away
from your home for prolonged periods of time.
Q. Do I have to switch the Sampling Frequency when I
~
o between myCD and DAT?
¯ No. Your SBP-32X automatically senses the input
frequency and does all necessary switching.
Q. Sometimes while listening to my DAT the 44. lkHz
LED is illuminated. I thought DAT used 48kHz. Is my
processor malfunctioning?
A. Some Digital Audio Tape recorders can record an.d
playback in either 44. l kHz or 48kHz depending o.,n tlae
sour.c,e the tape was recorded from. The SBP-32X s
LED s are informing you of the frequency it is receiving,
and as a consequence, the sampling frequency at which
the tape was recorded in.
