Digital Outputs
BNC:
Use 75-ohm impedance coaxial cable
with locking BNC-type connectors. An
RCA/BNC adaptor is also supplied.
AES/EBU:
For connection to digital
processors having the AES/EBU-Standard
interface.
Analog Outputs
Single-Ended (RCA): For connection to
the inputs of a line-level preamplifier or
integrated amplifier.
Balanced (XLR): For connection to the
balanced inputs of a line-level preamplifier.
Caution
The digital outputs supply only a digital
signal and should therefore only be
connected to an input which is suitable for
this signal. Never connect either of these
digital outputs to a non-digital input of
a preamplifier (such as those labeled CD,
AUX, PHONO, TAPE, etc.) or to a power
amplifier. To do so is to risk damage to your
system and may void any or all warranties
involved.
Digital Connections
The CD9SE offers four digital inputs, and two
standard digital output options. Which
option is best for your system will depend
on your personal listening preference,
the nature of your system installation
requirements, and the options allowed by
your external digital processor, if one is
used.
