IMPORTANT NOTE
Since the CD-2000X is a dual CD player, most of the functions and
controls are duplicated on both sides of the CD player. To eliminate
confusion and to make the drawings easier to understand, we will only
number the right side functions and controls. The only controls that are
not duplicated are the ROBO START (1), POWER BUTTON (21) and the
VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH (30).
LINE VOLTAGE SELECTION
Model CD-2000X is a dual voltage unit. It will operate at 115 or 230 volts.
To set the proper voltage follow these steps:
1. Place the head of a screw driver in the center of the VOLTAGE
SELECTOR SWITCH (30) found on the rear panel.
2. Slide the switch left for 115 volts or push the switch right for 230 volts.
3. Do not force or twist the switch. Excessive force may cause damage. If
the switch does not move smoothly, contact a qualified technician
CONNECTIONS
1. Using the included cables, plug one end into the REMOTE CONTROL
connector (31) on side 2 and the other end into the MAIN UNIT
connector (32) also on side 2. Do the same for side 1.
**IMPORTANT NOTE: YOU MUST CONNECT SIDE 1 ON THE REMOTE
CONTROL TO SIDE 1 ON THE MAIN UNIT AND SIDE 2 ON THE
REMOTE CONTROL TO SIDE 2 ON THE MAIN UNIT. IF YOU CROSS
THEM (for example the Remote Control on Side 1 to the Main Unit
on Side 2) THE CD-2000X WILL NOT WORK.
2. Plug one end of a set of RCA connectors into each of the LINE OUTPUT
JACKS (33).
3. Plug the other end of the RCA connectors into any available line level
input jacks on your mixer. If you are playing the CD-2000X through a
receiver, you can plug the RCA connectors into the CD or AUX INPUT
JACKS on your receiver. If there are no CD or AUX INPUTS, use any
line level (not phono) inputs.
