CONV (Up convert)

You can convert the 44.1 kHz CD sampling frequency to 2x or
4x.
88.2
A 2x conversion rate that outputs a sampling frequency twice
the 44.1kHz CD sampling frequency.
176.4
A 4x conversion rate that outputs a sampling frequency four
times the 44.1kHz CD sampling frequency.
OFF
This setting provides no up conversion.
< The i.LINK and RCA terminals cannot output upconverted
signals.
< Super Audio CDs output a DSD signal (1 bit, 64fs) and cannot
be up converted.

WORD (Word sync)

Turns on or off the word sync function.
ON
Use this setting when you want to get your whole system
locked to a single sync signal (clock) by connecting this unit to
the Esoteric G-0Rb or G-03X or other devices that are capable
of outputting a sync signal (word clock).
< This unit is ready for the following clocks and switches itself
depending on an incoming signal:
44.1 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 176.4 kHz
It also accepts a Universal Clock frequency of 100 kHz.
< The indicator flashes and the unit starts searching for an
external sync signal when "Word ON" is selected. The
indicator changes to a steady blue light when the unit detects
and locks to an external clock to indicate it is ready for
playback.
OFF
Use this setting when you do not use a word clock.
< Switching word sync on and off may occasionally result in
noise from the D/A converter. If this is the case, stop the unit
and lower the amplifier sound volume before switching the
function on or off.
< If word sync function of the D/A converter is on, please turn
on word sync on the P-05 as well. Using with word sync
function turned off on the P-05 may cause noise output.

LAYER (priority playback area)

There are two types of Super Audio CDs, regular ones that
contain 2-channel stereo and multi-channel stereo and hybrid
discs (two-layer discs) that contain Super Audio CD and regular
CD data.
When a hybrid Super Audio CD is loaded and when the playback
is stopped, press the PLAY AREA button to select a playback
area.
SACD:
This mode gives priority to the Super Audio CD layer. The
"2ch" setting of the "2ch/Multi ch" selection plays back the
2-channel layer while the "multi ch" setting plays back the
multi-channel layer.
CD:
This mode gives priority to the CD layer.
< Selecting a layer that is not on the disc results in playback of
the layer found on the disc.
< A change of playback layer using the PLAY AREA button
when playback is stopped is overridden by the setting
selected using operations described here when a different
disc is loaded.
< To play Super Audio CDs, use an i.LINK cable to connect to a
D/A converter equipped with an i.LINK terminal.
XLR (XLR output setting)
This mode sets the connection method for the XLR terminals.
Single
Outputs stereo digital signals from the XLR terminals. Select
this when connecting to a D/A converter using one XLR cable.
Dual
Outputs the left channel digital signal from the XLR1(L)
terminal, and the right channel digital signal from the XLR2(R)
terminal. Select this when connecting the P-05 to an Esoteric
D/A converter (D-01/D-03/D-05) or to a Dual AES-compatible
device using two XLR digital cables.
OFF
There is no output from the XLR terminals. Select this when
not using the XLR terminals.
