Enhanced use

Filter switch

Not all amplifiers/receivers and speakers can handle the extended frequency response of SACD. Your SACD is equipped with a switchable filter on the rear. The factory setting for this filter is 40 KHz, which is safe for all systems. If your system can handle the full frequency range of SACD (check the relevant manuals or, when in doubt, contact your dealer) do the following:

System grounding

When your system consists of a lot of components, occasional disturbance problems (like howling noises) may occur. These problems can be solved by grounding the system.

1Unscrew the ground connector GND halfway, connect an earth wire to the connector and tighten the connector again.

2Connect the earth wire to the ground connector of the next component in the system.

Set the switch to the required output signal.

Position 1 : 40 kHz - output signal on all speakers is set to 40 kHz.

Position 2 : 50 kHz FRONT/50 kHz OTHERS - output signal on front speakers is set to 50 kHz; output signal on all other speakers is set to 40 kHz.

Position 3 : 50 kHz - output signal on all speakers is set to 50 kHz.

Warning: If you are not sure that your system is able to handle audio input signals up to 50 KHz, do not change the output signal. You may damage your speakers or amplifier/receiver.

3If ground connectors are available on the other components of your system, ground the other

components in the same way.
