ii
Cautions
•Allow enough free space around the unit for normal ventilation. This should be: 10 cm
at the sides, 15 cm behind, and 30 cm above. These distances should also be adopted
when rack-mounting the DA824. For normal ventilation during use, remove the rear
of the rack or open a ventilation hole. If the airflow is not adequate, the DA824 will heat
up inside and may cause a fire.
•Use the DA824 in an environment where the temperature is between 10˚C and 35˚C
(50˚F and 95˚F).
•Turn off audio devices when connecting them to the DA824, and use only the cables
specified in the relevant owner’s manuals.
•If you plan not to use the DA824 for a long period of time, remove the power cord from
the AC outlet. Leaving the DA824 connected is a potential fire hazard.
•Do not use benzene, thinner, cleaning detergent, or a chemical cloth to clean the
DA824. Use only a soft, dry cloth.
•If the DA824 is stored in a cold place (e.g., overnight in a car), and then moved to a
warmer environment, or the temperature rises sharply, condensation may form inside
the DA824, which may affect performance. In such cases, the DA824 should be allowed
to acclimatize for about one hour before use.
•When the wordclock source is changed, the DA824’s analog outputs may produce
noise, especially if an MY8-AT I/O card is installed, so turn down your power amps
beforehand. Likewise, when changing the wordclock source on the wordclock master
device (e.g., AD824 or DME32), turn down your power amps beforehand, or turn off
the DA824.
Interference
The DA824 uses high-frequency digital circuits that may cause interference on radio
and television equipment located nearby. If interference is a problem, relocate the
affected equipment.
DA824 Exclusion of Certain Responsibility

About Wordclocks
For correct operation and digital-to-analog processing, it is essential that the DA824 is
wordclock locked to the digital audio device transmitting the digital audio signals. Normally, the DA824 locks to a wordclock signal derived from the SLOT digital audio
inputs, but when a usable wordclock signal is present at the WORD CLOCK IN connector, this is used instead.
The LOCK indicator lights up when the DA824 is locked to the wordclock source and
synchronized to the digital audio signal. It flashes if the DA824 is not synchronized to
the digital audio signal.
Note: When the wordclock source is changed, the DA824’s analog outputs may produce
noise, especially if an MY8-AT I/O card is installed, so turn down your power amps beforehand. Likewise, when changing the wordclock source on the wordclock master device (e.g.,
AD824 or DME32), turn down your power amps beforehand, or turn off the DA824.
Wordclock Hookup Examples

Wordclock Termination 9
Wordclock Termination
For correct and reliable operation, wordclock signals distributed via BNC cables must
be terminated correctly. Termination is typically applied at the last device, although it
depends on the distribution method being used. The DA824’s WORD CLOCK 75Ω
ON/OFF switch allows the DA824 to be connected in a variety of ways. The following
examples show three ways in which wordclock signals can be distributed and how termination should be applied in each case.
Wordclock Distribution Box
In this example, a dedicated wordclock distribution box is used to supply a wordclock
signal to each device individually. Termination is applied at each device.

Bus Distribution
In this example, the wordclock signal is distributed via a common line. Termination is
applied at the last device only.

Daisy Chain Distribution
In this example, the wordclock signal is distributed in a “daisy-chain” fashion, with each
device feeding the wordclock signal on to the next. Termination is applied at the last
device only. This method of distribution is not recommended for larger systems.
