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
(12). Connect the other end of the mains cable to a mains socket.
The CD-S5 has two analogue signal outputs and
two digital output connections on the back of the
device. The signal from the integrated D/A conver-
ter can be input to a traditional analogue audio
component (amplifier) via the analogue outputs
(10). On the digital outputs (11) there is a digital
output audio signal which can be processed by
external D/A converters or digital processors.
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 Class A stage is output. A RCA cable is required for connection to an amplifier.
Connect the RCA connectors "L" and "R" in the field "ANALOG OUTPUT RCA" (10) with the left and right
audio connectiors 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 Class A stage is output symmetrically. Two XLR cables are required for connection
to an amplifier. Connect the XLR connectors "L" and "R" in the field "ANALOG OUTPUT XLR" (10) 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".

RCA Connection
Only one of the four outputs needs to be connec-
ted to play CDs. Select the appropriate connection
between the CD player and your amplifier, pream-
plifier, receiver or converter. Bear in mind when
doing this that the special sound qualities of the
player's Class A output amplifier stage will only be
exploited if one of the analogue outputs (10) is
used to output the music signal.
