1 − Introduction

Never use a stabilizer or printable discs

Using commercially available CD stabilizers or printable recordable discs with this player will damage the mechanism and cause it to malfunction.

NOTE

Never use a disc that has had a stabilizer mounted to it. The residual adhesive may cause the disc to stick to the turntable of the CD-RW901. If it sticks to the turntable, you will need a technician to get it out.

Beware of condensation

If the unit (or a compact disc) is moved from a cold to a warm place, or used after a sudden temperature change, there is a danger of condensation; vapor in the air could condense on the internal mechanism, making correct

operation impossible. To prevent this, or if this occurs, let the player sit for one or two hours at the new room temperature before using.

Connections

The following should be noted when you connect the unit to other equipment.

It is possible to connect the unit’s DIGITAL COAXIAL IN, DIGITAL OPTICAL IN, DIGITAL IN (AES/EBU), and balanced or unbalanced ANALOG INs (L, R) to other equipment at the same time. However, the unit can receive signals from only one digital input at a time. Currently selected input jack is shown on the display.

Audio signals output from the unit are output from the balanced or unbalanced ANALOG OUT jacks, as well as from the DIGITAL COAXIAL OUT, DIGITAL OPTICAL OUT and DIGITAL OUT (AES/EBU) connector simultaneously (but not from the digital outputs in stop mode). Currently selected input jack is shown on the display.

Control connections

The pinouts of the CONTROL I/O (parallel) terminal on the rear panel (see “Rear panel” on page 11) are:

a.The maximum current supplied from this terminal is 50 mA.

Tall signals are open collector, with a maximum current of 50 mA. Input signals are active when low (groun) for ≥ 30 ms.

A fader start/stop control should be wired according to the following schematic:
