GENERAL
Congratulations
on your purchase of the Audio Note CDT Five CD transport.
Audio Note is highly critical of the digital medium as presented by compact disc; we
sincerely hope that you too will find this transport breaks free from the 'digital mould' that we
are all so accustomed to, and so open a new window on your CD collection.
Please read over this manual carefully in order to obtain the best possible performance
and longevity from your transport.
UNPACKING & INSTALLATION
1.) Please take care when unpacking the CDT Five. We recommend that you store the
packing materials in case the unit requires shipping at a later date.
2.) Next, select a suitable location for the unit, for example, a dry and dust-free area
which is not exposed to direct sunlight. Place the CD transport on level flat surface free from
vibration.
3.) Please remove all 3 transit screws, located on the top of CDT Five and marked with
yellow washers, to release the sprung sub-chassis.
4.) For best results the CD transport and the sub-chassis should be properly leveled.
Please make sure that the CDT Five sits on a leveled surface and then adjust the three chassis
adjustment screws with the 4mm allen key provided. Turn the screws clockwise to raise the
suspension and anti-clockwise to lower it. The distance between rails of sliding door and
borders of sub-chassis should be about 5 mm. The sub-chassis should not knock the main
chassis when pressed down and released. Turning the screws anti-clockwise too much is
unallowed and can cause the damage to the unit.
