Getting Started

You can adjust the output level to the amplifier (CDP-XE520 and CDP-XE320 only)

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

When you reduce the output level, “FADE” (or FADE for the CDP-XE320) appears in the display.

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

If you have a digital component such as a digital amplifier, D/A converter, DAT or MD

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.

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

OPTICAL

When you connect via the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) connector, noise may occur when you play CD software other than music, such as a CD-ROM.

If you have a Sony component with the CONTROL A1 jack (CDP-XE520 only)

Connect the component via the CONTROL A1 jack. You can simplify the operation of audio systems composed of separate Sony components. For details, refer to the supplementary “S-LinkTM/CONTROL-A1 Control System” instructions.
