CD Mode
The CDD-1 is actually two machines in one: a CD player and a DAC. The following chapter will describe the CD player.
Power On
Use the rear panel mains switch to power up the CDD-1. The CDD-1 is now in standby mode.
Stand by
The CDD-1 can exit or enter stand by mode by pressing Stand by on the front panel or on the RC-1 system remote. The CDD-1 will need
a few moments before it is ready. Only the microprocessor and the stand by LED are powered during stand by. Therefore, the CDD-1 has an
ultra-low stand by power consumption of less than 1W.
Using the Clamp
The clamp has several functions. It attaches the disc fi rmly to the drive motor and protects both drive and disc during playback. The clamp
is aligned and held in place by magnets and can be placed in eight diff erent positions. Follow these simple instructions to familiarise
yourself with the clamp:
Start by placing a CD in the drive with the label side up.
When the clamp is lifted from the drive, the disc indicator will blink.
Reverse these steps to remove the clamp and change disc: Turn the clamp left or right to loosen it, lift it up, change disc.
To protect the CD drive and laser, we recommend leaving the clamp in place on the CD drive, also when it is not in use.
Place the clamp on top of the disc. Then turn the clamp left or right
until it snaps into place.
