Playback in ANALOG MODE

If ANALOG MODE is turned on when playing back an analog input source (Phono, CD, NETWORK, TUNER, RECORDER), power to the digital input circuit is turned off. This prevents the analog signal circuit from being affected by noise generated by the digital control circuit, resulting in high quality audio playback.

Press ANALOG MODE to turn analog mode on.

The ANALOG MODE indicator lights.

A digital input source (COAXIAL, OPTICAL, USB-DAC) cannot be selected when ANALOG MODE is on. Also, if the input source switching button on the remote control unit is pressed to switch to a digital input source, the ANALOG MODE indicator on the unit flashes to indicate that you cannot switch to a digital input source.

The input source automatically switches to CD if ANALOG MODE is turned on during playback of a digital input source (COAXIAL, OPTICAL, USB-DAC).

Communication between this unit and the computer is disconnected if ANALOG MODE is turned on when a computer is connected to the USB-DAC input connector of this unit. If the unit cannot communicate with the computer after turning ANALOG MODE off again, disconnect and reconnect the USB cable or restart the audio player on the computer.

When the analog mode is switched, the mute circuit is activated for about 4 seconds.
