you touch the CONSOLE LOCK screen.
Specifying the CONSOLE LOCK screen imageIf an image file has been saved on the USB flash drive, you can view that image on the 
CONSOLE LOCK screen.
In the SAVE/LOAD window, specify the image file that you want to display, and then load it 
from the USB flash drive. For details about loading files from the USB flash drive, refer to 
“Loading a file from a USB flash drive” (page 214).
NOTE
Supported image file format is BMP in 800 x 600 pixels and 16/24/32-bit, but they will be 
converted into 16-bit for display.
Saving and loading setup data to and from a USB 
flash driveYou can connect a commercially-available USB flash drive to the USB connector located to 
the right of the display, and save the internal settings and user authentication keys of the CL 
series console to the USB flash drive or load them from the USB flash drive.
CAUTION
An ACCESS indicator is shown in the Function Access Area while data is being accessed (saved, 
loaded, or deleted). During this time, do not disconnect the USB port or power-off the CL unit. 
Doing so may damage the data in the flash drive.NOTE• Operation is guaranteed only for USB flash drives.
• The operation of USB flash drives with capacities of up to 32GB has been verified. (However, this 
does not necessarily guarantee the operation of all USB flash drives.) The FAT16 and FAT32 
formats are supported. A USB flash drive with a capacity of 4GB or larger will be formatted in 
FAT32, and a USB flash drive with a capacity of 2GB or smaller will be formatted in FAT16.

Recovering after overcurrent at the USB portEven if the connection with the USB device was stopped because an overcurrent condition 
occurred at the USB port, it is possible to use the USB device again without turning the 
console power off and back on.Recovery procedureAfter removing the cause of the overcurrent at the USB port, press the location that shows 
“USB REMOUNT” at the FORMAT button of the SAVE/LOAD window.
Word clock and slot settings“Word clock” refers to the clock that provides the basis of timing for digital audio signal 
processing. To send and receive digital audio signals between devices, those devices must 
be synchronized to the same word clock. If digital audio signals are transferred in an 
unsynchronized state, the data may not be transmitted or received correctly, and noise may 
be present in the signal, even if the sampling rates are the same.
Specifically, you must first decide which device will transmit the reference word clock for the 
entire system (the word clock master), and then set the remaining devices (the word clock 
slaves) so that they synchronize to the word clock master.
If you wish to use the CL series console as a word clock slave that is synchronized to the word 
clock supplied from an external device, you must specify the appropriate clock source (the 
port through which the word clock is obtained).
This section explains how to select the clock source that the CL series console will use.STEP
1.In the Function Access Area, press the SETUP button.
2.In the SYSTEM SETUP field of the SETUP screen, press the WORD CLOCK/SLOT 
SETUP button.
3.In the MASTER CLOCK SELECT field of the WORD CLOCK/SLOT SETUP window, 
select a clock source.
4.Press the “x” symbol located in the upper right to close the window.

Master clock frequency display
Indicates the frequency (44.1 kHz or 48 kHz) of the currently-selected master clock. If 
the unit is not synching to the master clock, “UNLOCK” will appear.
NOTE• If sample rate pull-up/down has been specified in the Dante 
Controller application, this area indicates the change in the 
sample rate as a percentage, such as -4.0%, -0.1%, +0.1%, and 
+4.1667%.
• To change the master clock when sample rate pull-up/down has been specified, disable the pull-
up/down in the Dante Controller, change the master clock, then specify pull-up/down again.
2
Master clock select buttons
Use the buttons to select the clock source that you want to use as the word clock master 
from the following options:
• INT 48 k
• INT 44.1 k
The CL console internal clock (sampling rate 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz) will be the clock 
source.
• WORD CLOCK IN
The word clock supplied from the WORD CLOCK IN jack on the rear panel of the console 
will be used as the clock source.• DANTE 48 k
• DANTE 44.1 k
The word clock supplied from the Dante jack on the rear panel of the console will be 
used as the clock source.
NOTE
With CL V2.03 and later, if you initialize the console to factory settings, the default value for the 
word clock is set to DANTE 48k. This allows you to synchronize word clock even when using 
multiple CL and QL consoles at their default settings.
•SLOT 1-3
The word clock supplied via a digital I/O card installed in a console slot will be used as 
the clock source. Word clock can be selected in pairs for each slot.3
Clock status Indicator
Indicates the console's status as a master or a slave in the Dante audio network.
NOTEWhen   is displayed and the specified word clock is not synchronized 
with a device acting as a Dante master, the audio might cut out.
4
Clock status display
Indicates the status of synchronization with the master clock for each clock source. Each 
indicator is explained below:
• LOCKED (light blue)
Indicates that a clock synchronized with the selected clock source is being input. If an 
external device is connected to the corresponding connector or slot, input/output is 
occurring properly between that device and the CL series console. If the sampling 
frequency is close, this status may be displayed even if not synchronized.
• LOCKED, BUT NOT SYNC'ED (yellow)
A valid clock is being input, but is not synchronized with the selected clock source. If an 
external device is connected to the corresponding connector, input/output cannot 
occur correctly between that device and the CL series console.
• SRC ON (green)
This is a special status that applies only to SLOT1-3. It indicates that SCR (Sample Rate 
Converter) is enabled for the corresponding channel. This means that even if the signal 
is not synchronized, normal input/output with the CL series console is occurring.
• UNLOCKED (red)
A valid clock is not being input. If an external device is connected to the corresponding 
connector, input/output cannot occur correctly between that device and the CL series 
console.

• UNKNOWN (black)
This indicates that the clock status cannot be detected because no external device is 
connected or because there is no valid clock input. You will be able to select this 
connector/slot, but successful synchronization cannot occur until a valid connection is 
established.
NOTE• If the indicator for the selected clock does not turn light blue, make sure that the external device 
is correctly connected, and that the external device is set to transmit clock data.
• Noise may occur at the output jacks when the word clock setting is changed. To protect your 
speaker system, be sure to turn down the power amp volume before changing the word clock 
setting.
• If you attempt to select a channel (for which SRC is on) as the word clock source, a message will 
appear, warning you that the sampling rate converter will be disabled.

an MY card (MY8-AE96S) that features the SRC function is installed. If another type of 
card is installed, or if no card is installed, no SRC button will appear.
7
FREQUENCY display
Indicates the sampling frequency of input signals if the installed card can detect the 
substatus of input signals, such as an AES/EBU card. If another type of card is installed, 
or if no card is installed, “----” will appear.
8

Using cascade connectionsUsing multiple CL series consoles, or a CL console and an external mixing console (such as 
a Yamaha PM5D) in a cascade connection enables buses to be shared among the devices. 
This can be convenient if you want to use an external mixer to increase the number of inputs.
This section explains cascade connections and operation, using an example in which two CL 
units are connected in a cascade configuration.About cascade connectionsTo cascade two CL series consoles, you must first install digital I/O cards in the appropriate 
slots, and connect the output ports of the sending unit (the cascade slave) to the input ports 
of the receiving unit (the cascade master).
The following illustration shows an example in which three eight-channel digital I/O cards for 
each unit are installed in the cascade slave CL unit and in the cascade master CL unit. The 
DIGITAL OUT jacks of the sending unit are connected to the DIGITAL IN jacks of the receiving 
unit.
In this example, up to twenty four buses chosen from MIX bus 1-24, MATRIX bus 1-8, 
STEREO bus (L/R), MONO (C) bus, and CUE bus (L/R) can be shared, and the mixed signals 
transmitted from the cascade master CL unit. (If you use three 16-ch digital I/O cards, all 
buses can be shared among the devices.) When the required settings are made for the 
cascade slave and for the cascade master, the bus signals of the cascade slave will be sent 
via the slot to the buses of the cascade master, and the combined signals of both buses will 
be output from the cascade master. If the Cascade Link function is enabled, the specified 
operations or parameter changes performed on either CL series console will be followed by 
the other CL console.
You must specify bus assignments for each slot or channel on each CL unit. The procedure 
below is given separately for the cascade slave and the cascade master.
