The CD-S1.2 has three analogue signal outputs
and one digital output connection on the back of
the device. The signal from the integrated D/A
converter can be input to a traditional analogue
audio component (amplifier) via the analogue out-
puts (13). On the digital output (14) there is a digi-
tal output audio signal which can be processed by
external D/A converters or digital processors.
Use of one of the analogue outputs with RCA connectors
This is where the stereo audio signal converted to analogue by the high quality integrated D/A converter and
amplified by the Hybrid stage is output. One of the two outputs and an RCA cable is required for connection
to an amplifier. Connect one pair of RCA connectors ("L" and "R") in the field "AUDIO OUTPUTS" (13) with
the left and right audio connectors of the amplifier input (standard line level input) which is usually labelled
"CD," "LINE IN" or "FRONT R/L". If you want, you can use both outputs at the same time.

Use of the analogue output with XLR connectors
This is where the stereo audio signal converted to analogue by the high quality integrated D/A converter
and amplified by the hybrid stage is output symmetrically. Two XLR cables are required for connection to
an amplifier. Connect the XLR connectors "L" and "R" in the field "AUDIO OUTPUTS" (13) with the left
and right connectors of the XLR amplifier input which is usually labelled "CD," "XLR IN," "BALANCED IN"
or "FRONT R/L".

Only one of the four outputs needs to be connec-
ted to play CDs. Select the appropriate connection
between the CD player and your amplifier, pream-
plifier, receiver or converter. Bear in mind when
doing this that the special sound qualities of the
player's Class A amplifier stage will only be
exploited if one of the analogue outputs (13) is
used to output the music signal.
