Unpacking

Check that you received the following items:

• Audio connecting cord (1)

• Remote commander (remote) (1)

• R6 (size AA) batteries (2)

• Stabilizer (1)

Inserting batteries into the remote

You can control the player using the supplied remote.

Insert two R6 (size AA) batteries by matching the +

and – on the batteries to the diagram inside the battery

compartment.

Insert the negative (–) end first, then push in and down

until the positive (+) end clicks into the position.

When using the remote, point it at the remote sensor g

on the player.

Hooking Up the System

Overview

This section describes how to hook up the CD player to

an amplifier. Be sure to turn off the power of each

component before making the connections.

When to replace batteries

With normal use, the batteries should last for about six

months. When the remote no longer operates the player,

replace all the batteries with new ones.

Notes

• Do not leave the remote near an extremely hot or humid

place.

• Do not drop any foreign object into the remote casing,

particularly when replacing the batteries.

• Do not expose the remote sensor to direct sunlight or

lighting apparatuses. Doing so may cause a malfunction.

• If you don’t use the remote for an extended period of time,

remove the batteries to avoid possible damage from battery

leakage and corrosion.

When connecting an audio cord, be sure to match the

colour-coded cord to the appropriate jacks on the

components: Red (right) to Red and White (left) to

White. Be sure to make connections firmly to avoid

hum and noise.

• If you have an analog power amplifier

Connect the amplifier via the ANALOG OUT (VARIABLE)

jacks using the supplied audio cord. Be sure to set the

DIGITAL OUT ON/OFF switch to OFF (the factory setting)

when you make this connection. You can adjust the output

level with the ANALOG OUT/PHONE LEVEL control on

the player or the ANALOG OUT LEVEL buttons on the

remote.

• If you have a digital component with an optical digital

input connector

Connect the component via the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL)

connector using the optical cable (not supplied). Take off

the cap and plug in the optical cable.

Note

When you connect via the DIGITAL OUT connector, noise

may occur when you play CD software other than music, such

as a CD-ROM.

Connecting the mains lead

Connect the mains lead to the mains.

Removing the notice sheet

Remove the notice sheet from the player before using.

pWhen making digital hookups

You can prevent deterioration of the signal during

transmission, since the music signal output through

the digital output connectors retains digital form.

You can connect a digital component such as a

digital amplifier, D/A converter, DAT, or MD. When

you connect a DAT or MD, you can make digital

recordings from CDs.

Be sure to set the DIGITAL OUT ON/OFF switch to

ON when you make this connection.

Note that you cannot use the fade in/out function

(page 18) when making this connection.

Customising the Sound of Your

Music (Digital Filter Function)

This player has a variable coefficient (V.C.) digital

filter. By selecting the type of filter you want, you can

adjust the sound to match your system, your room, the

music source, etc.

≠AMS ±FILTER

3Push ≠AMS ±to select the filter.

The original display reappears.

The selected digital filter number is stored in

memory even if you turn off the power.

You can also change the digital filter number by

pressing the FILTER button while the indicator is

flashing.

Selecting the filter using the remote Z

1Press DIGITAL FILTER.

The display shows the currently selected filter

number and the filter indicator flashes.

2Press DIGITAL FILTER repeatedly until the

display shows the digital filter number you want.

The digital filter number is stored and the original

display reappears.

Characteristics of each digital filter

The contents and characteristics of the five digital

filters are as follows:

Std: Standard (sharp roll-off)

Provides a wide frequency range and spatial feeling, as

it holds the most information among the five filters.

Suitable for playback of classical music.

1: Clear (slow roll-off)

Provides smooth and powerful sound with clear image

position.

Suitable for playback of jazz band performances and

jazz vocals.

2: Plain (slow roll-off)

Provides fresh and energetic sound with rich vocal

expression.

Suitable for playback of vocal-performances.

3: Fine (slow roll-off)

Provides well-balanced natural sound, with a of large

scale feel and rich reverberation.

Suitable for listening to any kind of music when you

are relaxed.

4: Silky (slow roll-off)

Provides a wide scale feel with associated subtleties.

Suitable for light classical music, especially strings.

Comparison of cutoff characteristics for sharp roll-off filter

and slow roll-off filter

What is a variable coefficient (V.C.) digital

filter?

CD players use digital filters to eliminate the noise

generated during sampling. You can change the tone of

your music by changing the cutoff characteristics of the

digital filter.

Sharp roll-off and slow roll-off

Digital filters can be roughly classified into sharp roll-

off types and slow roll-off types, according to their

cutoff characteristics.

Sharp roll-off filters quickly cut off noise over

22.05 kHz generated during sampling. This is a

superior way of completely reproducing signals below

20 kHz and is the basic principle behind digital audio.

On the other hand, slow roll-off filters cut off noise

generated during sampling, and are able to hold pre-

ringing and post-ringing (a kind of sound smearing) in

the impulse response signal to a minimum.

Note

The Digital Filter function primarily changes characteristics

outside the audible frequency. They cannot affect changes

within the audible frequency such as those provided by the

tone controls of the amplifier. Therefore, with certain

combinations of hardware and software, there may be no

noticeable effect after switching the filter.

Using the Display
