GENERAL
Congratulations
on your purchase of the Audio Note CDT Three 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
Please take care when unpacking the CDT Three. We recommend that you store the
packing materials in case the unit requires shipping at a later date.
Next, select a suitable location for the unit, for example, a dry and dust-free area which
is not exposed to direct sunlight.
Connections:
The transport's sonic performance will start to improve as the internal parts 'bed' in.
The transport requires about two hundred hours of operation before the bedding in process is
complete.
Connectors on the back of CDT Three unit provide a digital output for connection to your
DAC via your digital interconnect with RCA or XLR connectors. Your dealer can advise on
suitable type and quality of cable eg: - Audio Note AN-Vx is an excellent choice.
Power connector: An IEC power connector is available for connection to the local supply.
Simply connect this to a convenient power point using the supplied cable.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Compact disc transports have built-in error compensation circuits to correct minor
manufacturing defects on a disc. In some cases, defects on the disc, which are too large for
the error compensation circuits to handle, may cause the CD player to skip some tracks during
playback. If this problem occurs, play a new disc, normal playback of the new disc indicates
that the previous disc is damaged in some way. However, if the problem continues, it is best to
have the unit serviced.
