constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.
For U.S.A.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and,
if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the equipment and/or the receiving
antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1) Read these instructions.
2) Keep these instructions.
3) Heed all warnings.
4) Follow all instructions.
5) Do not use this apparatus near water.
6) Clean only with dry cloth.
7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or groundingtype plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than
the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third
grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided
for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet,
consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched
particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the apparatus.
11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with
the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution
when moving the cart/apparatus combination
to avoid injury from tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms
or when unused for long periods of time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is
required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such
as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled
or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has
been dropped.
o The apparatus draws nominal non-operating power from the
AC outlet with its POWER or STANDBY/ON switch not in the ON
position.
o The mains plug is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect
device shall remain readily operable.
o Caution should be taken when using earphones or headphones
with the product because excessive sound pressure (volume) from
earphones or headphones can cause hearing loss.
CAUTION
o Do not expose this apparatus to drips or splashes.o Do not place any objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on
the apparatus.
o Do not install this apparatus in a confined space such as a book
case or similar unit.
o The apparatus should be located close enough to the AC outlet
so that you can easily reach the power cord plug at any time.
o If the product uses batteries (including a battery pack or
installed batteries), they should not be exposed to sunshine, fire
or excessive heat.
o CAUTION for products that use replaceable lithium batteries:
there is danger of explosion if a battery is replaced with an
incorrect type of battery. Replace only with the same or
equivalent type.
WARNING
Products with Class construction are equipped with a power
supply cord that has a grounding plug. The cord of such a product
must be plugged into an AC outlet that has a protective
grounding connection.

To use an external reference signal generator (10 MHz output) for
the reference frequency, connect the output connector of the
reference signal generator to this EXT IN connector using standard BNC coaxial cables (50 Ω impedance).
0 If the output level of the external oscillator is outside the
allowable input range of this unit, it cannot be used. Refer to
the oscillator manual for information on the output level and
accuracy of the oscillator.
CLOCK OUT connectors

These connectors output the clock signal.
Connect these CLOCK OUT connectors to the clock/word sync
inputs of CD players, D/A converters and other digital equipment
using standard BNC coaxial cables (75 Ω impedance).
0 Use the A, B and C buttons on the front panel to change their
frequencies (see page 10).
0 Use the frequency mode setting (FREQ) to set the clock refer-
ence frequency (see page 14).

AC power inlet
Connect the included power cord to this inlet. After completing
all other connections, plug the power plug into the AC power
outlet.
0 This unit uses a 3-pin power cord socket, but the grounding
pin does not connect to the chassis of the unit.
V
Use only the supplied Esoteric power cord.
Use of other power cords could result in fire or
electric shock.
Unplug the power cord from the outlet when
you are not planning to use the unit for an
extended period of time.

Clock output frequency setting (1)
Press 2 or more seconds
You can set the clock frequency output from the CLOCK OUT connectors.
0 This unit has 3 pairs (A, B and C) of clock outputs that can be sepa-
rated further into 6 individual outputs (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2).
You can set the clock frequency independently for each of these
outputs.
0 By default, the A, B and C outputs are set to be used as pairs.
Setting A, B and C outputs by pair (default)
When you change the A setting, the output frequency is set for
both A1 and A2 simultaneously.
Likewise, setting B or C affects B1 and B2 or C1 and C2, respectively.
When “A >”, “B >” or “C >” appears, pressing the A, B or C button
changes the output frequency of that pair. Press repeatedly to
cycle through the options.
0 Press and hold the A, B or C button for at least two seconds to set
A2, B2 or C2, respectively. (See “Setting A2, B2 or C2” on the right.)
Setting A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2 independently
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. The same is true for the
B and C pairs.
Setting A1, B1 or C1
English
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 B1 and C1.
Setting A2, B2 or C2
Press the A, B or C button for at least two seconds to set A2, B2
or C2.
0 If you do not press any buttons for 10 or more seconds, setting
mode will end and the display will return to normal. (If DISP is
set to SHORT, this will happen after 3 seconds.)
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 connection might require that the clock frequency
be set to half of the audio signal frequency.
When “A2>” appears, press the A button to change just the A2
output frequency. Follow the same procedure for B2 and C2.
0 To set A1 after setting A2, press the A button again after return-
ing to the ordinary display.
0 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 and C
pairs. (See “Setting A, B and C outputs by pair” on the left.)
