CONNECTION TO AMPLIFIER,
RECEIVER OR PREAMPLIFIER
Use of the coaxial digital output
This output emits the music signal as a digital S/PDIF audio signal (PCM). The connection is only requi-
red if an external D/A converter is to be used or the player is to be connected to the coaxial digital audio
input of an AV receiver or an AV preamplifier. To make the connection you need a coaxial cable with 75Ω
characteristic impedance and with a RCA connector on both sides, which is not supplied with the device.
Connect the connector "DIGITAL OUTPUT COAXIAL" (14) of the device to the digital input socket of the
amplifier which is usually labelled "DIGITAL IN" or "COAXIAL INPUT". The best sound is obtained in most
cases by connection with an analogue output (13).

Use of the optical digital output
This output emits the music signal as a digital S/PDIF audio signal (PCM). The connection is only requi-
red if an external D/A converter is to be used or the player is to be connected to the optical digital sound
input of an AV receiver or an AV preamplifier. To make the connection you need a Toslink cable (fibre
optic cable) which is not supplied with the device. Connect the connector "DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL"
(14) of the device to the amplifier's digital input socket which is normally labelled "DIGITAL IN" or "OPTI-
CAL INPUT". The best sound is obtained in most cases by connection with an analogue output (13).

CONNECTION OF THE POWER CABLE
Check that the electricity supply to your home is appropriate to the device. The required voltage and fre-
quency 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 (16). Connect the other end of the mains cable to a mains socket.

OPERATING THE APPLIANCE

BASIC FUNCTIONS AND SETTINGS
Operation 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 separated from the AC power.
As a precaution, before switching on, the volume setting of your system's

preamplifier should be reduced. After switching on the WARM UP LED (2)
will be blinking for about 20 seconds while the tubes of the internal small
signal amplifier are being warmed up.
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-

of the volume appears in the display (4). The maximum signal level is reached
with a setting of 26 and the minimum is at 00.
