Set Up Using Digital

Outputs

To set up the Nº512 using the digital audio outputs, perform the
following steps. Refer to the cabling diagram on the left, as needed.
Note When playing a SACD disc, the SACD layer is only available on the
analog audio outputs. However, the CD layer may be played normally
using digital or analog outputs.
1. Ensure that all components are powered off before making
connections.
2. Connect an audio cable from the Nº512 rear panel Digital
Output connector to the Digital Input connector on the
preamplifier rear panel. S/PDIF or AES/EBU connectors may be
used.
3. Turn on the Nº512 player.
4. Turn on the preamplifier.
5. Turn on the amplifier.
6. Do not proceed until all equipment has gone through its
initialization process and is fully powered on.
7. On the Nº512, press the Drawer button on the front panel to
open the CD drawer.
8. Place a CD in the drawer. Make sure that the disc is data-side
down and seated properly in the drawer.
9. Press the Drawer button to close the drawer.
10. Press the Play button after the disc has loaded.
The first track should now be playing.
