Operating The Appliance; Button(S) Description - VINCENT CD-400 Bedienungsanleitung

Many devices which can be controlled by a switching signal (not preamplifiers or integrated
amplifiers), have two terminals which do not differentiate between input and output. In this case
either of the two can be selected. Even some devices that transmit the switch signal (preamplifiers and
integrated preamplifiers) lack this marking. In this case it may be assumed that they both are signal
outputs.
"POWER CONTROL" sockets of preamplifiers or integrated amplifiers must not be interconnected! All
receiving devices must not be connected to more than one preamplifier or integrated amplifier (direct-
ly or indirectly)!
If a "POWER CONTROL" cable is connected to the back of the CD-400 and the 12V switching signal
is given, the main amplifier can no longer be switched off with the "POWER" button. If the power con-
trol function is not desired, the switch signal cables must therefore be removed!

OPERATING THE APPLIANCE

BASIC FUNCTIONS AND SETTINGS
Button(s) Description
The equipment is switched on and off at the equipment's front-side. In the
switched-off condition, it is separated from the electricity supply network but
POWER (3) reacts to switching signal fitted on a "POWER CONTROL" input (12). Before
switching on, the volume settings of the preamplifier of your system as well
as that of the headphone (4) should be reduced, as a precaution.
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-
VOL + (32)
fiers to put the setting to the maximum and to leave it there. A different value is
VOL – (33)
only used if the CD player is much louder compared with the other sources at
the 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 (1). The maximum signal level is reached with a
setting of 26 and the minimum is at 00.
This function can only be operated on the front of the device. Turn the dial
"LEVEL" clockwise to increase the volume in the headphones and anticlock-
LEVEL (5) wise to reduce the volume. This volume control has no effect on the output
level of the "ANALOG OUTPUT" (11) and "DIGITAL OUTPUT" (12) on the
back of the device.
This function can only be operated using the associated front panel button.
DIMMER
When repeatedly pressed, the display (1) brightness is periodically reduced
(16)
(1x), switched off (2x) and restored to the original, maximum brightness (3x).
