A

Turn dithering on/off for the DIGITAL STEREO 
OUT jack (DIGITAL OUT) or the output chan-
nels of the OPTION I/O slots (OPTION OUT 
SLOT).

• Dithering is a process by which a small 

amount of noise is added to the signal in 
order to make the sound smoother, prevent-
ing the obtrusive sound that can occur if bits 
are discarded when digital audio data is 
transmitted from a high-resolution system to 
a lower resolution system (for example when 
copying from a 24 bit system to a 16 bit sys-
tem).

• For digital I/O cards, dithering is switched 

on/off by pairs of adjacent odd-numbered → 
even-numbered channels (channels 1/2, 3/4, 
...).

B

Select the word length (number of bits) for the 
signals that are output to the DIGITAL STEREO 
OUT jack (DIGITAL OUT) or to digital I/O cards 
installed in the OPTION I/O slots (OPTION 
OUT SLOT). Set this to the word length of the 
destination device.
