If no indicator other than the
power indicator is lit

Even though the clock is switched to “external clock”, an external clock is notconnected or the power of the external clock is off.

n Caution
We designed this equipment by relentlessly pursuing higher audio quality. Specifically, one of the features of thisproduct is full sync playback that uses a single master clock yet does not use a DAC chip DPLL. In other words,
connection that is the same as ZERO LINK is realized inside S-3. For this reason, it may take some time to start up
the SACD mechanism (0 flashing) and to read TOC (00 flashing). You may need to wait for 30 seconds or more insome cases. Also, it is extremely rare, but startup of the SACD mechanism may fail. When it happens, loss of sync
may occur. In such a case, cycle the power of S-3.
An aluminum reference plate is attached because an SMA terminal is employed as a clock terminal. This plate
protects the SMA terminal by covering the part of the terminal that is protruded from the rear panel. Because of thisplate, the External Clock Selector Switch is less noticeable, but be sure to set this switch to External when connecting
X-3 to this equipment. When X-3 is connected to this equipment, make sure that the cable is plugged all the way into
the AC inlet of X-3. You may feel some resistance when plugging the cable all the way into the AC inlet.
The ZERO LINK terminal of this equipment is for input use only. Do not connect input terminals with each other. It
will cause a failure of the equipment. We use color labels so that you can distinguish between INPUT and OUTPUT
terminals easily: blue indicates INPUT and yellow indicates OUTPUT.
To get future firmware updates, download the software from our website and connect your Window PC to thisequipment via USB.
Notes:• To display the firmware version, turn on the power while pressing the LPF switch.
• To change the startup mode of the SACD mechanism, turn on the power while pressing the INPUT selector. If you
experience SACD mechanism startup failures several times, this operation may reduce the frequency of the failure.
Even after you turn off the power, this mode will be retained unless you perform the same operation again. Thismode is indicated by a dot (decimal point) flashing on the firmware version display.

Remote Control
n Notes on Operationn How to Change the Batteries
Remove the lid on the rear side of the remote control
and insert 2 AAA (LR03/R03) batteries as indicatedinside the battery compartment. After inserting thebatteries, attach the cover again.

Approx. 5 m

60˚
Remote control

Operate the remote control within approx. 5 m distancefrom the front panel of the main unit within an angle of
60°to the remote sensor.
• Prevent the remote sensor from being exposed tostrong light.
• Do not place any obstacles between the remotecontrol and the remote sensor.
• Do not use other remote controls while using the
remote control for the main unit.

Cautions on Batteries• Use AAA (LR03/R03) batteries for the remote control.
• Replace the remote control batteries with new ones
after approx. 1 year has passed.
• If you cannot operate the main unit by using the
remote control at a short distance from the main unit,change the batteries with new ones even if 1 year
has not yet passed.
• Insert batteries with the correct polarity as indicatedby the “+” and “–” symbols inside the battery
compartment.
• Do not use old and new batteries at the same time.
Doing so may cause battery leakage or rupture.
Furthermore, do not use different types of batteries
together.
• Do not short-circuit, disassemble, or heat batteries.
Do not throw batteries into a fire.
• When not using the remote control for a long periodof time, remove the batteries.
• If battery leakage occurs, wipe the battery liquidfrom the battery compartment and then insert newbatteries.
• When disposing of batteries, follow appropriate local
guidelines and regulations such as ordinances.

DISPLAY button

Attaching the Spike Pins

The display and indicators other than the power
indicator can be turned off by pressing the DISPLAY
button on the remote control.
Turning off the display can reduce noise inside the unit
thereby improving the audio signal quality.

 y replacing the feet with the supplied spike pins,B
you can tune the audio quality. Point grounding makes
the sound focus and auditory lateralization sharper.
Furthermore, the audio quality can be subtly tuned
by changing the material of the surface on which thisequipment is installed.

Balanced Input/Output
The XLR Connector is used for Balanced Input/Output.
There are two types of connection, “European Type”
and “USA Type”.

Note:• When the spike pins are attached, it may be difficult
to keep weight balance stable. Take great care not tocarelessly apply a force on the corners of the main unit.

Cautions• When using the spike pins, be extremely careful
not to get injured, etc.
• When using the spike pins, be careful that thesurface on which the main unit is installed suchas the surface of a table, shelf, etc., may become
damaged.Using the spike-receiving board ishighly recommended in order to protect the
installation surface.

Troubleshooting

MaintenanceNo sound is output.
• Check that the power of this equipment is on.
• Check that the appropriate input source is selectedwith the input selector.
• Check the connections of the external devices.
• Check that the power of the external devices ison.
• Check that the operations and settings on theexternal devices are correct.
• Check that you are not attempting to input a signalthat is not supported by this equipment.

When the unit has become dirty, wipe it clean usinga soft cloth. To remove stubborn stains, dilute somedish-washing liquid in 5 or 6 times as much water,
soak a soft cloth in the solution, wring it out well, wipeaway the stains, and then wipe the surfaces dry witha dry cloth.
Never use alcohol, paint thinners, benzine, insecticides
or other volatile substances since they may mar or
remove the surface gloss.
Bear in mind that rubbing surfaces with a chemicalcleaning cloth or leaving such a cloth in contact with asurface for an extended time may result in deterioration.

A CD disc cannot be played properly.
• Check that you are not attempting to play a discwith scratches.
• Check that you are not attempting to play a nonstandard compliant disc.
• Check that you are not attempting to play a CD-R
or CD-RW disc on which tracks were recorded
without using a CD standard for music.
The remote control does not operate.
• Check that the remote control batteries are notworn out.
• Check that the distance between the remotecontrol and the main unit is not too far or that there
is no obstacle between the remote control and themain unit.
This equipment cannot be recognized by the computer.
• Check the connection with the computer.
• Check that a USB hub is not being used.
• Check that the appropriate input source is selectedwith the input selector.
No sound is output from the computer.
• Check that the computer settings are properly
configured.
• If suspension or hibernation has been used,sound might not be output after recovery. Turn off
the power of this equipment and then turn it on
again.
• If an error occurs on the computer while an audio
file is being played back, sound might not be
output. Turn off the power of this equipment andthen turn it on again.
