5
MIDI OUT
Outputs a synchronization clock and messages about various internal events.
NOTE: Be sure to connect this to the MIDI IN terminal of your computer prior to
recording or playback.
6
MIDI IN
The CBX-D3 receives MIDI control data from the computer via this connection. To ensure
that control data is not delayed by other MIDI devices, the CBX-D3 should be the first
device connected to your computer. If your computer provides multiple MIDI outputs, you
should dedicate one of these for exclusive use with the CBX-D3.
NOTE: Be sure to connect the MIDI IN terminal to the MIDI OUT terminal of your
computer prior to recording or playback.
7
DIGITAL OUT
A RCA (phono) jack that outputs CD/DAT-format digital audio. Channels 1 and 3 are
output as the "L" signal, while 2 and 4 are output as the "R" signal. This jack allows you
to connect directly to the digital input of a DAT or DCC recorder, eliminating the need for
multiple D/A and A/D conversions.
NOTE: It is well known that the weakest links in a digital audio system are the A/D and
D/A converters. Once converted to digital form, the audio signal becomes
immune to distortions, noises, and other problems generally introduced by
analog equipment. Although the effect of multiple conversions is rather subtle,
it is nevertheless good practice to reduce the number of conversions and
transfer the data in digital form wherever possible.
8
SCSI ID selector
A thumbwheel switch used to set the SCSI ID for the CBX-D3. See "SCSI ID setting"
(page 12) for more information.
9
SCSI connectors
Two 50-pin Amphenol type connectors used to connect the CBX-D3 to the SCSI daisy
chain.
