USB Port

Use a certified USB2.0 cable, connect the cable to 8300CDQ and 
then to the USB port on the digital source. If the media player on your 
computer features stereo and multichannel output set the output of the 
media player to stereo. 

12V Trigger Connectors

A trigger circuit is a “daisy chain” in which one unified command from 
the master unit (8300CDQ) can bring all the connected “slave” units 
into or out of standby. The slave equipment is left powered on but is 
switched in and out of standby in synchronism with the master. When 
the 8300CDQ is powered on or off, the trigger pulse switches all slave 
equipment on or off in tandem.

Two trigger outputs are provided and they are both enabled as supplied 
though you may fully or partially disable them as required.

Analogue Outputs

Balanced Output

Balanced connections provide greater dynamic headroom and improved S/N 

ratio. If your amplifier has a greater dynamic headroom input uses the balanced 

connection. You need one XLR balanced cable per channel. The socket connects 

to the player and the plug normally connects to the amplifier. 

Unbalanced Output

If you cannot used the balanced outputs, connect a high quality stereo screened 

RCA phone change to phono lead from the unbalanced outputs of the 8300CDQ 

to a suitable input of the amplifier.

Headphone Output

A stereo 6.3mm (1/4”) jack is provided on the front panel for connecting 

headphones. Connecting headphones mutes the audio signal. 8300CDQ 

headphone output is up to +3dB, users can select suitable output level base on 

their headphones. Caution: When using headphones, playing music at very high 

volumes may permanently damage your hearing.

Analogue Input

Three standard line inputs are provided. Connect a high quality screened RCA 

phono lead from the line output of your source component the appropriate input 

of the 8300CDQ

Digital Outputs

Coaxial and Optical output

One Coaxial and one Optical SPDIF digital output. Connect a suitable digital 

coaxial (fully screened) interconnect or optical cable from the appropriate SPDIF 

output of the 8300CDQ to the input of the DAC or CD transport.

Mains Input

Before connecting the 8300CDQ to the mains supply make sure that all the other 

connections to your system have been properly and securely made. Make sure 

the ON/OFF switch on the 8300CDQ is switched off. Switch the mains supply 

off at the wall socket, and then, using the cable supplied, connect the socket on 

the back of your 8300CDQ to an AC supply outlet. The player is now ready for 

operation. 

Digital Inputs

Four digital inputs (Two Coaxial and two Optical) are provided for connecting 
the 8300CDQ to an external SPDIF source. The inputs are connectable to a 
wide range of digital media. Connect a suitable digital coaxial (fully screened) 
interconnect or optical cable from the SPDIF output of the source component to 
the appropriate input of the 8300CDQ. 

If you are connecting a multichannel source, access the menu of the source 
component and set SPDIF output to (L)PCM Stereo with the speakers OFF.
