Esoteric P05/D05/G0-RB

When connected to each other, both transport and DAC indicate that the external clock is locked and operational.
When I switch off the transport, DAC still locks on the external clock.
When I connect my DVD transport (Theta Carmen 2) via XLR to XLR in 1 on DAC, the DAC does not lock on the external clock. I have tried many settings since I think that this is probably a settings problem, but have not succeeded in having the external clock lock on the DAC in this configuration.
From the manuals, I believe that this should be possible. What am I doing wrong? Perhaps I should use the universal out to the D05 when using the DVD transport? Perhaps other settings need to be made?

Hey, thanks, babybear! I wonder why they would do that. It seems to me, if the internal clock of the D05 is able to clock the incoming signal from a connected device without word synd, why not the external clock? I sent a message to Esoteric US and Germany, but so far, no answer.
In your opinion, that would mean putting an upsampler between DVD transport and DAC that has a word sync input, right? Or, buying a DVD transport with a word sync input.

@babybear: Thanks again! You may be right, I had not thought that the internal clock of the D05 would not operate connected to an external device. On the other hand, I can set the internal clock to operate to DLL1 or DLL2, so it certainly seems to work connected to the Carmen 2. The manuals are not as complete and explanatory as they could be.
@ Jfrech: I have tried that, both to 48 and to PAL FILM as I live in Europe, but, no clocking.
Thanks for your advice, guys, and council, even though the matter remains a mystery!
