Features

Up to 192 kHz Word Sync clock production

With the advent of digital equipment using higher sampling

frequencies than ever, 176.4 kHz and 192 kHz word clocks

(sync signals) are made available in addition to conventional

44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz and 96 kHz clocks.

As an additional plus, the output circuitry consists of 3

separate channels with a total of 6 output terminals, thus

offering the capability of handling a variety of audio

equipment controlled by different word clocks. Also, each of

the 3 output channels is switch-selectable between 1xFs,

2xFs, and 4xFs, so you can, for example, get an 88.2 kHz and

a 176.4 kHz machine synchronized by connecting them to the

single G-0s.

Clocks Generated by Internal High-precision

Oscillator

The G-0s uses an advanced rubidium oscillator (monthly

precision variation: projected within ±0.05ppb) that generates

astonishingly super-accurate clocks.

Ready for connection to external oscillators

It is also possible to connect external reference frequency

oscillators to the G-0s. Using this capability, you can, for

example, readily bring in a higher precision oscillator when

made available in the future.

Universal Clock Output

Some universal players use clocks different from the ones

used by CD players to process both the video and audio

signals at the same time.

The G-0s comes with a 100 kHz clock output intended for

universal players (in PAL FILM mode, the output is switched to

96 kHz). If your universal players are 100 kHz-capable, you

can control them by this high-precision clock.

PAL Film Source-capable Clock Frequencies

The PAL (European TV format) film source is a better image

quality than NTSC discs provide. However, PAL video system is

standardized at 25 frames per second while the PAL film

source discs use the rate of 24 frames per second. So, if these

discs are played back without inserting one additional frame

per second in the process of conversion, the sound pitch may

be higher than is expected. To play PAL film source material

correctly, it is necessary to reduce the play speed by 4% and

play at 24 frames per second. To meet this requirement, the

G-0s is designed to output clock frequencies of 96% of

48/96/192 kHz (i.e., 46.08/92.16/184.32 kHz).

To play PAL film source material, connect the Esoteric UX-1 or

any other Universal Player that is equipped to accept 96%

clock frequencies.

Super-rigid Chassis to Ensure

Uncompromised Sound Quality

A rigid chassis featuring a total weight of 18 kg (40 pounds)

helps to provide a stabilized platform for the clock operation.

<5-mm thick steel base plate completely eliminates external

vibrations.

<Triangular pinpoint feet composed of case-hardened tool

steel ensures enhanced stability against vibration.

Employs carefully selected highest quality

components

Tight-tolerance components are carefully hand-picked and

secured to the rugged chassis to support the high-precision

clock operation.

In case you experience any problem with this unit, please take

the time to look through this chart and see if you can solve the

problem yourself before you call your dealer or a TEAC service

center.

No power

eCheck the connection to the AC power supply. Check and

make sure the AC source is not a switched outlet and that,

if it is, the switch is turned on. Make sure there is power to

the AC outlet by plugging in another item such as a lamp or

fan.

eTurn on the POWER switch on the rear panel.

Not synchronized

eCheck to see if the current word clock output is supported

by the connected players. If necessary, select a word clock

frequency that is appropriate for the individual players.

There are occasions where the word clock available for

synchronization varies depending on the connection and

settings of the individual players. For details, consult the

manual for each player.

eIf you are using the PAL FILM mode, check to see whether

the connected player supports the PAL FILM frequency (-4%

of the standard frequency).

eCheck to see whether the sync outputs on the rear panel are

connected to the acceptable sync inputs of the individual

players.

Desired frequency not selectable with A, B, and C buttons

eSelect the proper fundamental frequency in FREQUENCY

MODE before operating the buttons.

Odd sound pitch

eDo not use the PAL FILM mode for NTSC discs or PAL discs

other than film source discs.

If normal operation cannot be recovered, unplug the

power cord from the outlet and plug it in again. This

resets the internal micro-computer which can be disturbed

during electrical storms, power interruptions, et cetera.

Maintenance

If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe with a soft cloth or

use diluted neutral cleaning liquid. Be sure to remove any
