Setting method of Timer Play

qPress POWER switch to turn ON the power. w Insert the disc to be played.

*In timer play mode, tracks are played normally. e Set the audio timer.

ABOUT BALANCED JACKS

qThe balanced output connector uses a XLR connector. w The XLR connector for professional use is internally wired

in either of the following two systems.

1.USA system (Pin w = COLD, Pin e = HOT)

COLD w q

eGND

HOT

2.European system (Pin w = HOT, Pin e = COLD)

w q

HOT e

GND

COLD

eThe SA-7S1 uses the 1. USA system.

When a preamp or main amplifier adopting the European system is connected using a cable with XLR balanced connectors, the reproduced signal may be inverted of phase.

In this case, refer to “ANALOG OUTPUT CONNECTOR PHASE SWITCHING”, and set so that the correct phase is used.

ANALOG OUTPUT CONNECTOR PHASE SWITCHING

By digitally processing audio signals read by this unit, it is possible to perform phase inversion without changing the tone quality.

Inverted signals are output from the UNBALANCED output connector, and the BALANCED output connector interchanges between HOT and COLD signals.

As the USA system has been adopted for the BALANCED output connector, if the amp or other device used with this unit is a European system device, a phase inversion cable would normally need to be used to playback with the correct phase. However, by pressing the INV. PHASE button on this unit, you can listen to the correct phase without replacing the cable.

Moreover, if a disc that has been recorded with the incorrect phase is being played, you can play it in the correct phase by pressing the INV. PHASE button.

To change the mode

Every time the INV. PHASE button on the front of this unit is pressed, the phase of the signal being output from the ANALOG OUTPUTS connector (BALANCED, UNBALANCED) is inverted. The indicator flashes during inverted playback.

Correct phase

Inverted phase

Caution

•If switching is performed during playback, sound output is stopped for approximately one second to prevent the occurrence of unnecessary noise.

•The information after this operation is stored by the last memory function even after the power is switched OFF.
