Upon releasing the button, the disc will play. If the start of the disc is reached the disc will stop The 50-wayheader allows connection to the SXCD transport unit using the ribbon cable supplied The RJ45 pins are configured for RS232 as follows The SXCD compact disc player facilitates this functionality by allowing the internal master clock to be disabled and sourced from an external device, such as an external digital to analog converter DAC Page Underside Functions Transport ModuleElectronics Interface Use only the supplied 50-wayribbon cableThe disc drawer glides out to accept a compact disc and retracts to play it. Place the disc in the drawer label-sideup and make sure the disc is properly centred in the tray Placement Options 6Special Design Philosophies John Pawson writes Special Design Features The increased 4x-8xread speed of the optical drive, compared with 1x-2xspeeds of standard mechanisms, gives the drive more opportunity for error correction - ensuring the audio data stream is a true reflection of what is presented on the compact disc Conducted and radiated digital noise can wreak havoc on power supplies and sensitive circuits. Filtering is heavily employed throughout to stop conducted digital noise infecting power supplies and sensitive circuits, and greatly reduce radiated noise Care and Maintenance Warranty Information 3 Year Extended Warranty Form Extended WarrantyRegistration Form S I L H O U E T T E S X C DTroubleshooting Guide Check that a disc is inserted for the SXCD to play 12Specifications Transport Component Crosstalk is caused by stray inductances and capacitances between components and lines, which results in unintentional mixing of stereo signals.
