Explanation of termsBluetoothTechnology for near field wireless communications. This unit can connectto Bluetooth devices wirelessly. To establish a Bluetooth connection, youmust perform pairing (registering) beforehand.DSD (Direct-Stream Digital)One of the audio data recording methods, it is the signal aspect used tostore audio signals on a super audio CD, and is Δ-Σ modulated digitalaudio. It is configured of an array of single bit values at a 2.8224MHzsampling rate.NFC (Near Field Communication)Technology for near field wireless communications. You can just touchthis unit with a device with the NFC function to establish a connectionbetween this unit and the device.Sampling frequencySampling involves taking a reading of a sound wave (analog signal) atregular intervals and expressing the height of the wave at each reading indigitized format (producing a digital signal).The number of readings taken in one second is called the “samplingfrequency”. The larger the value, the closer the reproduced sound is to theoriginal.PairingPairing (registration) is an operation that is required in order to connect aBluetooth device to this unit using Bluetooth. When paired, the devicesauthenticate each other and can connect without mistaken connectionsoccurring.When using Bluetooth connection for the first time, you need to pair thisunit and the Bluetooth device to be connected.This unit can store pairing information for a maximum of 8 devices.Protection circuitThis is a function to prevent damage to devices within the power supplywhen an abnormality such as an overload, excess voltage occurs or overtemperature for any reason.Linear PCMUncompressed PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) signals. Unlike lossycompression audio sources such as MP3, no audio quality or dynamicrange deteriorates.Contents Connections PlaybackSetting procedureTips Appendix60Front panel Display Rear panel Remote Index
