VINCENT CD-S4 Manuel D'utilisation page 33

The CD-S4 has one analogue signal output and
one digital output 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 output (10). On the
digital output (11) there is a digital output audio
Use of the analogue output
This is where the stereo audio signal converted to analogue by the high quality integrated D/A converter
is output. A RCA cable is required for connection to an amplifier. Connect the RCA connectors "L" and
"R" in the field "ANALOG OUTPUT" (10) 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 coaxial 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" (11) 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 the analogue output (10).
