Please take the time to read the SXCD manual thoroughly as it incorporates many features, which will enhance its operation.

Placement

The SXCD is a low power electronic device and best results will be achieved when placed away from potential interference from other components and electrical devices, for example AC mains cords/outlets, transformers, high-power amplifiers, computers, etc.

Place the SXCD close or near the preamplifier in order to make as short a connection as possible.

Turn off associated components

This minimises the potential to damage any other components when connecting your SXCD into the system.

Connect Transport module to Electronics module

Connect the Transport module to the Electronics module by connecting the 50-way ribbon cable between the header on the underside of the Transport and the header at the rear of the Electronics module. Noting polarity of each connector. Refer to Chapters 3 and 4 for more information about connecting this cable.

Connect SXCD to preamplifier
