< Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.  
Placement of the unit  
High-quality hardened tool steel is used for the pin-point feet,  
securely attached to the bottom of the player. Although the  
cover feet may appear loose, the weight of the unit causes  
them to be firm and secure, and the design effectively damps  
and reduces vibration.  
< Be careful to avoid injury when moving the unit, on account  
of its weight. Get someone to help you if necessary.  
< To protect floors, etc. you may stick the felt supplied with the  
unit to the bottom of the cover feet.

Features  
Up to 192 kHz Word Sync clock production  
Super-rigid Chassis to Ensure  
Uncompromised Sound Quality  
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.  
A rigid chassis featuring a total weight of 18 kg (40 pounds)  
helps to provide a stabilized platform for the clock operation.  
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.  
< 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.  
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.

Troubleshooting  
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  
e Check 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.  
e Turn on the POWER switch on the rear panel.  
The front display can be dimmed to suit your preferred  
environment. There are two levels and an “off” setting.  
Not synchronized  
e Check 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.  
Press the A button for more than 2 seconds to switch  
the dimmer mode.  
LEd OFF 1:  
All the illuminations are turned off except the MASTER  
button indicator (Xtal, Rb, Ext).  
e If you are using the PAL FILM mode, check to see whether  
the connected player supports the PAL FILM frequency (-4%  
of the standard frequency).  
LEd OFF 2:  
All the illuminations are turned off.  
e Check to see whether the sync outputs on the rear panel are  
connected to the acceptable sync inputs of the individual  
players.  
LEd ON:  
Normal mode.  
Desired frequency not selectable with A, B, and C buttons  
e Select the proper fundamental frequency in FREQUENCY  
MODE before operating the buttons.  
< Note that the OFF setting is memorized when the power is  
turned off.  
Odd sound pitch  
e Do not use the PAL FILM mode for NTSC discs or PAL discs  
other than film source discs.  
< In OFF mode, when you turn on the power or you operate  
other buttons, the illuminations turn temporarily on, and after  
the clock signal is stabilized, it turns off. (After the indicator  
for the MASTER button stops blinking and lights steadily.)  
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  
fluid completely. Do not use thinner, benzine or alcohol as  
they may damage the surface of the unit.
