CONNECTION OF THE POWER CABLE
Check that the electricity supply to your home is appropriate to the device. The required voltage and frequency
can be read on the back of the device beside the socket for the mains. If the electricity supply is appropriate,
push the inlet connector of the supplied mains cable firmly into socket for the mains on the back of the device
(19). Connect the other end of the mains cable to a mains socket.
The CD-S8 has two analogue signal outputs and
two digital outputs 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 outputs (16). On the
digital outputs (17) there is a digital audio signal
which can be processed by external D/A conver-
ters or digital processors. Only one of the four out-
Use of the analogue output 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 tube amplifier stage is output. RCA cables, for example the supplied ones, are requi-
red for its connection to an amplifier. Connect the RCA connectors "L" and "R" in the field "AUDIO OUT-
PUT" (16) with the left and right audio connectors of the amplifier input (standard high level input) which
is usually labelled "CD," "LINE IN" or "FRONT R/L".

Use of the analogue output with XLR connector
This is where the stereo audio signal converted to analogue by the high quality integrated D/A converter
and amplified by the tube amplifier stage is output symmetrically. Two XLR cables are required for con-
nection to an amplifier. Connect the XLR connectors "L" and "R" in the field "AUDIO OUTPUT" (16) with
the left and right connectors of the XLR amplifier input which is usually labelled "CD," "XLR IN," "BALAN-
CED IN" or "FRONT R/L".

puts needs to be connected to playback CDs. Select
the appropriate connection between the CD player
and your amplifier, preamplifier, receiver or conver-
ter. Bear in mind when doing this that the special
sound qualities of the player's tube amplifier stage
will only be exploited if one of the analogue outputs
(16) is used to output the music signal.
