the LED is dim and the output is automatically
muted. Press power switch again to turn CD6
off-indicated by unlit LED.
Prev:
Selects the previous track to play.
Continue pressing to cycle backward through
previous tracks. (Track number will appear
on display.)
Play:
Starts play. CD door must first be
fully closed. Begins to play first track unless
another is selected. Restarts track if pressed
during play. (Track number and elapsed track
time appear on display.)
Next:
Selects the next track to play. Continue
pressing to cycle forward through tracks.
(Track number will appear on display.)
Pause:
Interrupts play (display will read
“PAUSE”). Release PAUSE by pressing it a
second time to resume playing disc.
Stop:
Stops play. (Number of tracks and total
disc track time appear on display.)

Operation

1/6/17 5:18 PM
Power:
The Power switch completely turns
on the CD6SE for operation (there is no
“standby” mode). During the first 40 seconds,
the analog SE and BAL outputs are muted to
allow the analog output stage to stabilize.
The digital BNC and AES/EBU outputs will
function immediately. After 40 seconds the
analog outputs will unmute.
Also illuminated will be the LEDs for the last
selected settings of the Filter (Fast or Slow),
the last input selected, and the sample rate
(if an active digital input is selected, or a CD
is loaded).
To turn off the CD6SE, press the power
switch again. All LEDs will extinguish.
System operation note:
The CD6SE should be
the first component turned on in your system,
followed by other source components,
the preamp, and last the power amp. This
will prevent any extraneous turn-on noise
an upstream component might generate
from reaching the power amp, which could
amplify the noise, which might potentially
damage the loudspeakers. When powering
down the system, reverse the order: Mute
the preamp, turn off the power amp first,
then the preamp, then the CD6SE and other
source components. If the above is followed,
it will help to avoid accidental loudspeaker
damage.
