Precautions for use
o These units are very heavy, so take care to avoid injury during
installation.
o Do not install these units in a location that could become hot. This
includes places that are exposed to direct sunlight or near a radia-
tor, heater, stove or other heating equipment. Moreover, do not
place them on top of an amplifier or other equipment that gener-
ates heat. Doing so could cause discoloration or deformation.
o Avoid locations that are extremely cold or exposed to excessive
humidity or dust.
o In order to enable good heat dissipation, leave at least 20 cm (8")
between these units and walls and other equipment when install-
ing them.
If you put them in a rack, take precautions to prevent overheating
by leaving at least 5 cm (2") open above the tops of the units and
at least 10 cm (4") open behind them.
o Place each unit in a stable location near the audio system that you
will use with it.
o DO NOT place anything, not even CDs, CD-Rs, LP records or cas-
sette tapes, on top of the units. Doing so could cause damage.
o Do not put cloth on top of the units or place them on top of bed-
ding or thick carpet. Doing so could cause them to overheat or
damage them.
o Supply voltage to the power unit that matches the voltage indi-
cated on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt regarding this
matter, consult an electrician.
o Do not move the units during use.
o Do not open the bodies of the units as this might result in dam-
age to the circuitry or cause electric shock. If a foreign object
should get into one of the units, contact your dealer.
o When removing the power plug from an outlet, always pull
directly on the plug. Never pull on the cord itself.
o If a TV is turned on while the unit is on, static might appear on the
TV screen depending on the characteristics of the TV broadcast
signal. This is not a malfunction of the unit nor of the TV. If this
occurs, turn the unit off.
o Since ES-LINK is a format that is unique to ESOTERIC, do not con-
nect the HDMI cable used for it to ordinary HDMI connectors on
equipment made by other companies. They are not compatible.
Note about pinpoint feet
High-precision metal pinpoint feet are attached firmly to the bottom
plates of these units.
The stands for these feet are loose, but when a unit is placed in posi-
tion, it is supported by these pinpoint feet, which will effectively
disperse vibrations.
Chassis Pinpoint foot (metal)
Foot-stand (metal)
Screws that attach
foot-stand
o Apply the included felt pads to the bottoms of the foot-stands to
avoid scratching the surface where the units are placed.
Maintenance

clock synchronization.
o The audio source device must also be connected to the clock
generator or be connected to this unit’s CLOCK SYNC OUT con-
nector and set to receive clock synchronization.
o The input impedance of the 10MHz IN connector is 50 Ω, so sine
wave signals can be input.

When connecting to digital input connectors in modes other than
ES-LINK and XLR_DUAL and using the left and right channel transmis-
sion (L-R) connectors, use one of the following settings.
- - -
The channel used is not set. Only use this when connecting a P1 or
other source device that can output left and right signals as mono.

lem could also be something other than this unit. Please also check
the operation of the connected units.
If this unit still does not operate correctly, contact the retailer where
you purchased the unit.
The unit does not turn on.
e Confirm that the power cord is securely connected to both the
inlet on the back of this unit and a power outlet.
e Confirm that power is being supplied to the outlet to which the
power cord is connected by, for example, connecting another
device to it.
e Check if the power source is a switched outlet. If it is, make sure
it is turned on.
The unit automatically turns off.
e This is because the automatic power saving function turned it
off. Turn the unit on again. Change the automatic power saving
function time if necessary (page 16).
No sound is output from the speaker. The sound is distorted.
e In this case, turn the power off and check the connections with
the digital audio source device, the amp and the speaker (page

input (page 12).
e Set AOUT (analog output) according to the amp connection.
e Adjust the volume of the amp, for example.
No sampling frequency is shown to the right of “INPUT” on the
display.
e Turn the device that is connected to the selected input connec-
tor on.
e Confirm that the device is properly connected to the selected
input connector.
A beeping noise is output at a regular interval.
e If a beeping noise is output at a regular interval when the unit is
in clock sync mode, the connected device might not also be in
clock sync mode. Check the connections of the clock input con-
nectors and the clock sync setting of the connected device.
The CLOCK indicator does not stop blinking.
e Set CLK> to OFF when not using clock sync (
page 14).
e A clock signal with which the unit cannot be synchronized
might be being input. Check the connections of the clock input
connectors and the settings of the connected device.
This unit uses a microprocessor, so noise and other exter-
nal interference could cause it to stop functioning properly.
