Conﬁguration—Sync Source, Sync Input Termination, and
Audio-Synced-to-Video Sample Rate

Default:

Sync source is L/R of currently selected input.

Sync input terminated.

Audio-synced-to-video sample rate 48 kHz.

Use the level control to adjust the

audio-

synced-to-video sample rate

. Available

sample rates are 32, 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96,
176.4, and 192 kHz.

This LED displays the conﬁguration of the

sync input termination

.

LED not lit means sync input is not terminated; LED lit means termi-
nated with 75 ohms. Use the button to change the conﬁguration.

Use these buttons
to select the

sync

source

.

LED Surround B
lit means sync
input, video;
LED Stereo A lit
means sync input,
DARS;
LED Stereo B lit
means sync input,
word clock;
LED Stereo C
lit means L/R of
currently selected
input.

Press and hold
the Stereo to
