Getting Started

Hookups

pWhen making analog hookups

When connecting an audio cord, be sure to match the colour-coded cord to the appropriate jacks on the components: Red (right) to Red and White (left) to White. Be sure to make connections firmly to avoid hum and noise.

You can adjust the output level to the amplifier

Press LINE OUT LEVEL +/– on the remote. You can reduce the output level up to –20 dB.

When you reduce the output level, “FADE” appears in the display.

When you turn off the player, the output level automatically returns to the maximum level.

Note

If you press the LINE OUT LEVEL +/– buttons on the remote while recording, the recording level will change even when it is preset on the tape deck, etc.

pWhen making digital hookups

You can avoid deterioration of the signal during transmission, since the music signal output through the digital output connectors retains digital form. You can connect a digital component such as a digital amplifier, D/A converter, DAT or MD. When you connect a DAT or MD, you can make digital recordings from CDs.

Note that you cannot use the following functions when making this connection:

•Fading in or out (see page 17)

•Time Fade (see page 17)

•Adjusting the output level using the LINE OUT LEVEL +/– buttons on the remote (see above)

•If you have a digital component with an optical digital input connector

Connect the component via the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) connector using the optical cable (not supplied). Take off the cap and plug in the optical cable.
