BASIC FUNCTIONS AND SETTINGS
Button(s)
Description
The CD player is switched on and off using this button at the front panel.
When switched off the device is internally not separated from the AC power
and reacts to a "POWER CONTROL" (18) switching signal. Read the secti-
on "Connections for the standby control (POWER CONTROL)" of this manu-
POWER (8)
al. As a precaution, before switching on, the volume setting of your system's
amplifier and the headphone level (4) should be reduced. Once it is swit-
ched on, the "WARM UP" LED (3) lights up and the device needs a few
seconds to warm up the tubes of the internal amplifier.
This function may only be activated with the remote control and only during
playback. This control is to allow the adaptation of the player to the system
(mainly the amplifier) and it must not be used to change the volume of the CD
player in daily use. It is sufficient for almost all amplifiers/receivers/preampli-
VOL+ (36)
fiers to put the setting to the maximum and to leave it there. A different value is
only used if the CD player is much louder compared with the other sources at
VOL– (37)
the amplifier/receiver or it is distorted (clipping). Hold down the "VOL+" but-
ton to raise the output level. Use the "VOL–" to reduce it. The two-figure value
of the volume appears in the display (9). The maximum signal level is reached
with a setting of 26 and the minimum is at 00. This volume control changes
the output level of all analogue outputs to the same extent.
This function can only be operated using the associated front panel button.
DIMMER
When repeatedly pressed, the display (9) brightness is periodically reduced
(20)
(1x), switched off (2x) and restored to the original, maximum brightness (3x).
This function can only be operated on the front of the device. Turn the dial
"LEVEL" clockwise to increase the volume in the headphones (2) and anti-
LEVEL (4)
clockwise to reduce the volume. This volume control has no effect on the
level of the outputs on the back of the device.
