BEFORE CONNECTING . . . . . . .

Ensure that mains power to the various

components of your audio system is

switched off. Please note that audio con-

necting leads are not supplied with this

product.

OUTPUT CONNECTION

The CD Pre

24

should be connected to an

analogue amplifier input by audio cables

with RCA/phono type plugs. These link the

left and right PRE OUT sockets on the rear

panel of the CD Pre to corresponding line

input sockets on the amplifier. Do not use

any sockets on the amplifier intended for

“vinyl” phono cartridge input, as the sensi-

tive circuit will overload, producing a

severely distorted sound.

Alternatively, the DIGITAL OUTPUTS

(coaxial or optical) can be used for connec-

tion to suitable digital equipment.

All three types of output can be used for

feeding different equipment at the same

time, if required.

Note that the volume control only affects

analogue audio line output to the amplifier,

not digital or tape outputs.

INPUT CONNECTION

Analogue inputs are provided for three ana-

logue line sources, and two digital (optical

or co-axial).

Do not connect both co-axial and optical

leads to the same input.

Connect digital or optical input leads from

the other audio sources in your system as

required.

The internal D-to-A convertor will also han-

dle digital data from an external CD or

DVD audio source.

MAINS POWER CONNECTION

Insert the accessory IEC mains lead plug

into the rear panel socket, and then the other

end into a convenient wall outlet.

SWITCHING ON

Before applying mains power to other audio

components, check that the volume control

setting on the CD Pre

24

is low (knob turned

anticlockwise).

Press the power switch, and the front panel

display will light to confirm that the unit is

ready for use.

INPUT SOURCE SELECTION

Choose the required input source either by

pressing the front panel function buttons or

corresponding buttons on the remote control

marked LINE 1, 2 or 3, or DIGITAL 1 or 2.

The appropriate front panel LED will then

light to confirm your selection.

In the case of digital inputs, if no digital

data is being received at the selected input

socket, the associated LED will flash instead

of remaining constant.

Turn the volume control to obtain the pre-

ferred level of sound.
