SECTION

2

The MAN301 has an internal clock generator for the sampling
rate generation. Depending on the track played, this generator
is automatically set to the appropriate sampling rate. This is the
recommended operating mode.

The MAN301 can also be externally synchronized via a word-
clock input on a BNC connector. One has to make sure that the
external clock source matches the sampling rate of the track
played - except for the Fixed Rate mode where a fixed sampling
frequency is given by an external generator.

The word-clock output on a second BNC connector can be used
to clock e.g. an external D/A converter.

For details about the synchronization mode refer to the Chapter
3, section 2.
