Introduction

In choosing the 508 20-Bit CD Player you have acquired a component that combines major advances in digital audio and engineering design. The 508 20-Bit CD Player incorporates a three-beam laser CD mechanism, for superb sound quality and disc playability. The precision-engineered turntable combines the advantages of drawer loading with the superior disc clamping normally associated with top loading players. The digital signal is decoded using the latest 20-bit dual-differential Delta Sigma digital to analogue converter, combined with a discrete class A output for superlative audio performance.

This guide is designed to enable you to obtain the best possible results from the unit, whether your requirements are simply to play a disc or to programme a selection of music.

If you have just purchased the 508 20-Bit CD Player, you should first turn to the section Setting up the CD player, page 17, which explains how to unpack and install the CD player correctly.
