CONNECTION TO AMPLIFIERS,
RECEIVERS OR PREAMPLIFIERS
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 wave impedance and with a RCA connector on both sides, which is not supplied with the
device. Connect the connector "DIGITAL OUTPUTS COAXIAL" (11) of the device to the digital input sok-
ket of the amplifier which is usually labelled "DIGITAL IN" or "COAXIAL INPUT." The best sound is obtai-
ned in most cases by connection with an analogue output (10).

RCA Coaxial Cable
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 audio
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 OUTPUTS OPTICAL"
(11) 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 (10).

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.

OPERATING THE APPLIANCE

BASIC FUNCTIONS AND SETTINGS
Operation Button(s) Description
The amplifier is switched on and off using this button at the front panel,
there is no standby option. When switched off the device is internally
Switch on and off POWER (1)
separated from the AC power. As a precaution, after switching on, the
volume setting of your system's amplifier should be reduced.
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/preamplifiers
Change the level of the VOL + (29) to put the setting to the maximum and to leave it there. A different value is only
analogue audio outputs VOL – (30) used if the CD player is much louder compared with the other sources at the
(10) at the rear panel amplifier/receiver or it is distorted (clipping). Hold down the "VOL+" button to
raise the output level. Use the "VOL-" to reduce it. The two-figure value of the
volume appears in the display. The maximum signal level is reached with a set-
ting 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.
Change the brightness of DIMMER
When repeatedly pressed, the display (2) brightness is periodically reduced
the front panel display (13)
(1x), switched off (2x) and restored to the original, maximum brightness (3x).
