Setup and Installation
Caution!
For your protection, review “Important Safety Instructions”
before you install your Nº36.

The Nº36 allows you to assign any of a wide variety of names to each of the
eight digital inputs, shown below:

(any unused input)

The name you assign to an input is shown on the
display
when a source is se-
lected (see “
Display, Nº36
”). Before operating your Nº36, you’ll want to customize
it to match the digital sources in your system.
The Nº36 digital audio processor is shipped with inputs 1 and 5 named CD, since
you will probably want to hook up your new component and start using it right
away. CD1 is an AES/EBU (XLR) digital input, and CD5 is a S/PDIF (RCA) digital
input, and both are ready for use as soon as the Nº36 is powered up and con-
nected to the rest of the system. (See “Making Digital Connections” and “Making
Analog Connections” below.) Other inputs are named NOT USED and must be
renamed before they may be used.
Important!
Any input named NOT USED cannot be used to convert digital
signals to analog until its name has been changed.
Making Digital Connections
The Nº36 incorporates
RCA
,
BNC
and
XLR
electrical connectors, and
ST
and
EIAJ
optical connectors for digital audio signal input. The digital output is the electrical
AES/EBU
standard via
XLR
connector. (See “
Rear panel, Nº36
,” above.)
