8.5 Output Socket Selection
A pair of phono output sockets are fitted at the rear of the CDX2
to provide an alternative to the preferred DIN socket. Proceed as
follows to select the phono sockets.
With the player stopped, press and hold the remote handset
disp
function (handset in CD mode) until the CD player prog
indicator flashes. Further operations of the
disp
function will
now cycle through each combination of the two socket types
(DIN only, phono only or both). The selected option is indicated
on the CD player display as shown below.

Press and hold the

socket selection mode.
8.6 Power Supply Upgrade
The CDX2 can be upgraded by the addition of an XPS
Power Supply. The XPS takes over from the internal power supply
of the CDX2 and offers both a greater number of separate
supplies and more sophisticated voltage regulation.
The XPS is connected to the CDX2 via a heavy duty “Burndy”
cable. Switch off both the XPS and CDX2 when making
connections. Remove the CDX2 mains cable. Remove the
CDX2 link plug and connect the Burndy cable ensuring that
the connectors are securely attached and their twist lock
mechanisms are engaged. Switch on the XPS from its front
panel power button. After a short while the CDX2 will function as
normal.
8.7 Player Maintenance
It is important for reliable operation of the CDX2 to ensure that
the surfaces of the transport platter and the underside of the
puck are free of dust or debris which can prevent the disc from
sitting properly and cause it to slip.
To clean the transport platter, take a piece of Blu-tack and
lightly apply it to the top surface of the magnetic metal hub,
picking up any material attached to it. Brush the plastic outer
edge lightly with your finger or a soft brush to ensure that it is
dust and particle free. Similarly, clean the puck with Blu-tack,
to remove debris from the three locating pins on its underside.
Take care not to damage the rubber pressure pads. Brush them
lightly with your finger or a soft cloth.
Do not, under any circumstances, use any solvents or fluids for
the cleaning process.
