cd transport

Many years ago,when CDs were

introduced,it was assumed that the process

of reading the digital data from a CD

(which is what happens in the CDT20R) is

a simple task.Simple because the data is

digital and error correction mechanisms

exist which allow reconstruction of

missing data.The last 10 years have shown

that this assumption is an over-

simplification.It is,in fact,extremely

difficult to read the data from the disc in

such a way that errors do not occur.

The error correction mechanisms in a CD

player simply cloud missing data by making

a best assumption.This adds distortion and

reduces clarity and transparency.

Furthermore,the data coming from

the CD,even when read correctly, is an

extremely difficult signal to process.

Thank you for purchasing theTAG McLarenAudio cd transport CDT20R.

For best listening results,we strongly

recommend that you use your CDT20R

with a very high quality digital to analogue

converter,such as our DAC20,together

with a high-quality digital connection

cable,as recommended by our retailers.

digital output

In the CDT20R,the digital data stream

coming from the CD transport is available

at the digital output sockets in two

different formats: SPDIF 75 Ωcoaxial

using both phono and BNC connectors

and,for optimum noise rejection,

AES/EBU 110 Ω,balanced,transformer-

coupled using XLR connectors.

cd transport CDT20R

We are convinced it will give you many hours o

listening pleasure.

You already know about the undoubted virtues of Compact

Discs (CDs) –their convenience,ruggedness and long,

uninterrupted playing time –but,up to now, you may have

been disappointed by the sound quality when you play

them.AtTAG McLarenAudio we understand exactly what

needs to be done to get the best sound from a CD.

GRA00046.1-[CA]CDT20R 13/03/01 09:53 Page 5

program your choice of tracks in any

sequence.You can also edit the program

after you’ve entered it.

The CDT20R,when used with a

hi- performance DAC,provides you

with hi-fidelity sound coupled to the

convenience of the Compact Disc.

high-quality transport mechanism

To minimise any corruption of data

being read from the CD,the CDT20R

has a heavy-duty transport mechanism

and the laser,which reads the data from

the CD,has a fast digital servo control

to ensure that it follows the CD tracks

as quickly and accurately as possible.

The specially-designed Sorbothane®

sonic isolation feet help the servo to

track accurately by minimising the

vibration that reaches the mechanism.

stable internal clock

The timing of the data is as important as

the data itself.Timing inaccuracy,known as

‘jitter’,is responsible for a wide range of

subtle distortions. In the CDT20R,

jitter is reduced to an absolute technical

minimum by a very stable electronic

clock which is synchronised to the CD

data stream to provide accurate timing.

high-quality circuitry

The circuits in the CDT20R are‘no-

compromise’designs using high-quality,

high-stability components to send a

smooth,clean signal to your DAC for

excellent sound quality

easy control

Controls on the front panel and on the

remote control make the CDT20R easy

and convenient to operate.Our engineers

have made sure that you cannot damage

your CDT20R,or your discs,should you

accidentally operate the wrong control.

The CDT20R offers you sophisticated

facilities to repeat tracks or specified

sections of a CD,and allows you to

We know you are keen to get your CDT20R working. This section

will have you listening to your favourite CD as quickly as possible.

If you fold out the front cover of this manual you will locate diagrams

which will help you ﬁnd your way around your CDT20R(1).

Make sure that all the components of your audio system are

disconnected from the AC supply whenever you change any

connections.

Your CDT20R does not have an analogue output and cannot

be connected directly to an ampliﬁer unless it has a digital input.

It is intended for use with a dedicated, high-quality, external

digital to analogue converter (such as our DAC20). Use a good-

quality, screened digital cable to connect COAXIAL OUTPUT spdif

75 ohm 1 to the coaxial SPDIF input socket of your digital to

analogue converter (on the DAC20 use COAXIAL INPUT spdif

75 ohm 1). The cable should have a phono plug for the CDT20R

at one end and the appropriate plug for your digital to analogue

converter at the other end(2).

Check that the power button is out so that power is off when you

plug in(3). Using the cable supplied, connect the socket on the

back of your CDT20R to an AC supply outlet. For the best sound

quality, we recommend that you do not use multi-plug adaptors.

Buttons on the remote control allow you to select tracks and

to search through tracks as they play. The track + and track –

buttons are duplicated on the front panel of your CDT20R. For

optimum performance from the remote control, you must point it

towards the remote control pickup window on the front panel.

Press the track + button to go to the start of the next track(1). Press

track –for the previous track. If you hold down either of the track

buttons for more than two seconds, the CDT20R will quickly step

through the track numbers. Play will continue from the selected

track to the end of the CD.

Press the search + button to play at high speed forwards.

Press search –to play at high speed backwards. The output of

the CDT20R will sound strange as the music is played at high

speed. The volume is automatically reduced to minimise any

possibility of damage to loudspeakers.

Press the index + button to go to the start of the next index(2) and

play it. Press index –for the previous index. If a track includes

index markers, the display shows the index number and the word

INDEX. The ﬁrst index is not displayed. Play will continue from

the selected index to the end of the CD.

CD, then the track corresponding to the second digit will be played. (e.g. if you

select 18 when the CD has only 16 tracks, then track 8 will be played)

GRA00046.1-[CA]CDT20R 13/03/01 09:53 Page 15

Your CDT20R can be set to repeat tracks, selected sections

of a CD or the entire CD. The controls for this are only on the

remote control.

Press the repeat button to repeat the track that is playing.

The word REPEAT is displayed. This track will continue to repeat

until you press the repeat button again twice(1).

If you press the repeat button twice the words REPEAT ALL are

displayed. The CD will continue playing to the end and then start

again from the beginning. The entire CD will continue to repeat

until you press the repeat button again.

The a-b button is used to set up a section of the CD to be

repeated. The section can include more than one track.

Go to the start of the section you want to repeat using the track or

search button and press the a-b button. The display will show A -.

Now go to the end of the section using the track or search button

and press the a-b button again. The display will now show A - B

and the CDT20R will return to the start of the section and keep

repeating it.

Press the a-b button again to stop repeating the section.

You can also use the a-b button to select a section of the CD

to be skipped (i.e. the selected section will not be played).

If you set up A - B playing so that Bis earlier than A, then the

section between them will be skipped.

For example, press the a-b button when the total time played

is 20 minutes. Then use the search –button to go back to 12

minutes and press the a-b button again. Start playing the CD

from, say, six minutes. When 12 minutes is reached, play will

skip to 20 minutes and continue to the end of the CD.

Press the a-b button again to return to normal playing.

You can change the way your CDT20R displays information.

The controls for this are only on the remote control.

Press the time button repeatedly, or press and hold, to cycle

through the time display modes.

1 - The display shows the amount of time played so far on the

current track. The word TIME is also displayed.

2 - The display shows the amount of time remaining on the

current track. The words TIME REM are also displayed.

3 - The display shows the amount of time remaining on the CD.

The words TOTAL TIME REM are also displayed.

4 - The display shows the amount of time played so far on the

CD. The words TOTAL TIME are also displayed.

While a CD is playing, you can display the table of contents by

holding down the toc button. This consists of the total number of

tracks and playing time of the CD.

Press the display button to switch the display off and on.

Programming allows you to play tracks in the sequence you

choose instead of the order in which they appear on the CD.

To do this, you have to enter your chosen sequence of tracks into

the memory of the CDT20R. When you store a program, you

assign a track to each step of the program. This process is called

programming and the sequence of steps is the program.

This section describes how to store and play a program. All the

buttons referred to can be found on both the front panel and the

remote control.

In order to store and play a program, your CDT20R has to be in

program mode. In program mode, the CDT20R plays in step

sequence instead of the recorded track sequence.

To enter program mode, press the stop button for at least two

seconds. The display will show:
