4 Setting up and
Connecting the Unit
The control unit and the player mechanism unit
are designed for installation into a rack for units
with a width of 482 mm / 19″, however, they can
also be used as tabletop units. In any case, the
player mechanism unit must be operated in a
horizontal position while it is possible to install
the control unit as desired, e. g. also in an
inclined position. For rack installation, 2 rack
spaces each are required for the control unit and
for the player mechanism unit (1 rack space =
44.45 mm).
Prior to making or changing any connections,
switch off the CD / MP3 player and the units to be
connected.
1) Connect the control unit and the player mech-
anism unit via the two connection cables sup-
plied:
Jack CONNECT TO REMOTE CONTROL 2
(35) of the player mechanism unit to the jack
REMOTE CONTROL CONNECT TO MAIN
UNIT 2 on the control unit
Jack CONNECT TO REMOTE CONTROL 1
(37) of the player mechanism unit to the jack
REMOTE CONTROL CONNECT TO MAIN
UNIT 1 on the control unit.
2) Connect the two signal outputs LINE OUT
(32, 39) to one input each with line level e. g.
of a mixer or amplifier (possible lettering:
Line, CD, Aux).
3) The two player units can be started and set to
pause via a mixer with fader start function.
For this purpose, connect the jacks START /
PAUSE (33, 38) via two cables with 3.5 mm
plugs to the corresponding jacks of the mixer.
Set the CD-292USB to the type of fader start
of the mixer, see chapter 6.
4) Finally connect the plug of the mains cable
(36) to a mains socket (230 V~ / 50 Hz).
