C.A.R. 4000 (English)
The optical digital input.
Optical In (TOS Link)
The digital input is also on the back of your C.A.R. 4000. You can connect the output of a digi-
tal amplifier to this input with an optical cable (also known as a fiber optic cable) to record
the playback of devices connected to the amplifier with the C.A.R. 4000. You can of course
also connect the optical output of a minidisk recorder to this input to save material from old
minidisk treasures on disk.
Like the digital output this input also uses the
S/PDIF
(Sony / Philips Digital Interface) proto-
col. If this term does not mean anything to you, don't worry; it is
THE
standard protocol for
digital transmission of audio signals and almost all devices with digital interfaces support it.
Now a bit in advance: for technical reasons this input cannot be automatically synchronized
with an external signal. Therefore you will need to make this setting manually in the menu. All
standard sample rates (32, 44.1 and 48 kHz) are supported. See page 40 for more informa-
tion. If you accidentally change the language settings, see page 64 for instructions on reset-
ting the language to the desired setting.
