INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the Audio Note (UK) CDT-Six / Force Red Book

CD Transport and external power supply.

Whilst the rest of the audiophile world continues it delusional and ultimately doomed

love affair with the currently fashionable crop of what are claimed to be 'high

resolution' computer sources, we at Audio Note (UK) continue to extract even greater

degrees of information and quality from Red Book CD, which is still the best,

currently available digital music format. To this end, we proudly introduce the latest in

our line of extreme performance,dedicated Red Book CD Transports, the CDT-Six /

Force.

Audio Note (UK) is highly critical of the digital medium as presented by compact disc;

we sincerely hope that you too will find this transport breaks free from the 'digital

mould' that we are all so accustomed to, and so opensa new window on your CD

collection.

It has been specifically engineered for sonic performance rather than technical

specification, and fulfills all Audio Note (UK) Level 6 criteria. No expense had been

spared in any area, and we have used the finest possible components and materials

available to construct this truly outstanding, Reference class CD Transport.

Please read this manual carefully in order to obtain the best possible performance

and longevity from your transport.

CDT-SIX / FORCE RED BOOK CD TRANSPORT

Please take care when unpacking your CDT-Six / Force Transport and power supply.

Choose a clean, clear location to unpack the units. Be aware that the Transport and

power supply are very heavy; before attempting to unpack or lift the units, check their

weight and if necessary use more than one person so that they can be moved safely

and easily.

We recommend that you retain and carefully store all of the original packing

materials, in case transportation / shipping is required at a later date.

Select a suitable location for the units. This should be a dry, dust free and level area,

preferably shielded from direct sunlight and free from vibration. Also ensure that the

location is stable and capable of carrying the weight of the units.

A suitable mains power outlet must be close to the location; power cords must not be

pulled or stretched tightly in an attempt to reach a wall socket. If the power cord will

not easily reach the socket, choose a closer location!

Please ensure that adequate ventilation for the unit is provided, and that airflow

through any ventilation slots in the unit is not restricted. We recommend a distance of

at least 30cm free space is maintained above the Transport and at least 20cm above

the power supply, and preferably they should be sited in free space or on the top

shelf of your equipment rack or table. Please also remember that valve equipment

operates at extremely high temperatures, so a position that is inaccessible to any

children or animals is essential.

FIRSTLY, ENSURE THAT THE POWER SUPPLY IS NOT CONNECTED TO A

MAINS ELECTRICAL SUPPLY, AND THAT THE POWER CORD IS NOT

CONNECTED TO THE POWER SUPPLY.

Please remove 2 transit screws and the plastic plate, located on the top of the CD

loading area of the CDT Six and marked with yellow washers, to release the sprung

sub-chassis.

UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION

Special Note –Make sure that all connectionsare tight and clean. For best results

use good quality audio interconnects. Although it is perfectly acceptable to use

cables manufactured by other companies, for best results and performance, we

recommend our own Audio Note (UK) range of interconnects and loudspeaker

cables. For further information, please consult your nearest Audio Note (UK) dealer,

or alternatively please feel free to contact us directly.

Output The CDT-Six Transport is equipped with 1 x Single Ended / RCA

Digital output, located on the right hand side of the rear panel, when

the unit is viewed from behind. Connect this output to the appropriate

Single Ended / RCA input on your DAC.

CONNECTION OVERVIEW

RCA SOCKET,

CENTRE = POSITIVE / SEND.

RCA SOCKET,

SHELL = NEGATIVE / RETURN.

SINGLE ENDED / RCA DIGITAL OUTPUT

Power Three umbilical cables are supplied to connect the CDT-Six Transport

to the Force Power Supply. Each cable is different, having differing

numbers of pins in the connectors at each end of the cable. You will

notice that the sockets on the rear of the CDT-Six and Force are also

different, and the number of pin apertures in each socket corresponds

with the output pins on the three cables. Examine these cables and

sockets thoroughly before making the following connections, so that

you are familiar with the cable plugs and the corresponding sockets on

the rear panels of the CDT-Six and Force. Each output on the Force

and corresponding input on the CDT-Six is separately numbered, 1, 2,

IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THESE CONNECTIONS ARE MADE

CORRECTLY. ONLY CONNECT EACH OUTPUT TO ITS

CORRESPONDING AND SIMILARLY NUMBERED INPUT.

First, locate the correct cable and connect it to OUTPUT 1 on the

Force Power Supply. Then, connect the other end of the cable to

INPUT 1 on the CDT-Six Transport.

Repeat the above instructions for cables and connections 2 and 3.

ONCE AGAIN, MAKE SURE ALL CONNECTIONS ARE

CORRECTLY MADE!!

CONNECTION OVERVIEW continued…

Mains The CDT-Six / Force is equipped with a single IEC mains input socket,

located on the right hand side of rear panel of the Force Power

Supply, when the unit is viewed from behind. Combined with this input

socket is the main power switch, and this is used to turn on and off

BOTH units.

Once all of the umbilical cables have been correctly connected, use

the supplied mains cable to connect the Force Power Supply to the

local mains supply. Make sure the power switch is in the ‘OFF’

position before connecting the mains cable to the unit or the local

mains supply.

The mains fuse is located inside the unit; in the event that this needs

to be changed, please consult your Audio Note (UK) Dealer, who will

be happy to assist you. Alternatively, feel free to contact us directly.

Once all the connections are completed and checked, ensure that the volume control

on your preamplifier / integrated amplifier is at the minimum setting.

Ensure that any following equipment connected to the CDT-Six / Force (DAC,

preamplifier, power amplifiers etc) is switched OFF. Source components should

always be the FIRST components to be switched on and the LAST components to

be switched off.

The above procedure minimizes the possibility of loud noises produced by

components at switch on being passed to the loudspeakers and possibly causing

damage.
