This pair take in and give out Word Clock, and can be set to Bit Clock for DSD.
The functions are set by the menu. Clock In is terminated and Clock Out is
regenerated internally, so these lines can be used for daisy chaining many units
together, without loading problems.  See 
 for the time
alignment of these signals.
Remote In & Out
9 pin D type male (2 off)
If the Windows™ Remote software is in use, connecting Remote In to a com
port (RS-232 port) on a PC running the Remote Control program allows the unit
to be controlled by the PC. Remote Out may be connected to another suitably
equipped dCS unit, allowing several units to controlled by the same PC with one
RS-232 daisy chain. In addition, the unit may be software upgraded without
removing the lid by downloading new software via the Remote In port – see
Connect up Remote ports using a 9-way screened cable, fitted with 9-way ‘D’-
type connectors at each end, wired pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2, etc. The same
type of cable can be used unit to units as com port to first unit.  Suitable cables
are available from dCS.
Mains Supply
3 pin IEC (CEE22)
Switched, fused and filtered IEC mains connector.
