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 impedance and with a RCA connector on both sides, which is not supplied with the device.
Connect the connector "DIGITAL OUTPUT COAXIAL" (17) 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 an analogue output (16).

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 sound
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 OUTPUT OPTICAL"
(17) 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 (16).

CONNECTIONS FOR THE STANDBY CONTROL
Many AV systems or stereo audio systems consist
of a multitude of individual components. To avoid
the necessity of switching them on and off before
and after every use, many manufacturers have
equipped their devices with what is known as
"POWER CONTROL" circuit or "TRIGGER". This
kind of remote-controlled standby circuit is used
primarily for preamplifier and power amplifiers. To
employ these functions, direct or indirect cable

connections must be made between the preampli-
fier (or integrated amplifier) and all the devices
which support this function. The "POWER CON-
TROL" function operates in such a way that each
switching on or off of one device in the system (usu-
ally the preamplifier) automatically brings about
the switching on or off of all the connected devices
which support this function. Please keep in mind
