OPERATION OF THE SFT-1 TRANSPORT
Before plugging in the SFT-1, check to see that the unit is configured
for the correct AC line voltage for country of use. The operating AC
line voltage is indicated on the side of the shipping box. If the SFT-1
Transport is set incorrectly for the country in which it is to be operat-
ed, contact the dealer or distributor in your area. If the unit is config-
ured properly, continue with operation.
Connect the Detachable Power Cord to the SFT-1 chassis (see
Figure 1) and plug your SFT-1 into the AC power source.
Load the Remote Control with 2 AAA size batteries.
Next choose the most appropriate digital output connector (M
through P). With the appropriate cable connect the SFT-1 to your
DAC’s digital input.
The SFT-1 Transport is now ready for operation. Power the unit
by placing the Power Switch (K) in the ON position. Next
depress the Power Button (J or Q) and load the transport with a
favorite CD. Select desired track(s) and press the Play Button (D
or T). You are now ready to sit back, listen and enjoy.
BREAK-IN TIME
As with all audio electronic products, the ultimate sonic charac-
ter of the SFT-1 will not be realized until and unless the unit
receives a minimum of approximately 150 hours of signal
break-in time (i.e. the SFT-1 is on and outputting a signal).
T R O U B L E S H O O T I N G
If at any time the SFT-1 Transport fails to work properly,
consult this checklist:
If the SFT-1 will not turn on:
1. Check that the Main Power Switch (K) is in the o n p o s i t i o n .
2. Check that the AC Detachable Power Cord is plugged into the
SFT-1 Detachable Power Cord Socket (L) and is connected to a
l i v e
source of AC power. For instance, if using a power bar, check that
the bar is turned o n.
If the SFT-1 is operating but does not play:
1. Be sure the rest of the system is functioning properly (i.e. DAC,
power amplifiers, cables and connections, etc.).
2. Check that the loading drawer is not jammed by an improperly
loaded CD.
3. Check to ensure the CD has not been put in the transport with the
label side down.
4. Be sure the CD is not damaged and is readable.
If the remote does not function, check to ensure that the two AAA
batteries are fresh.
If these checks fail to correct the operation of the SFT-1 Transport
contact the nearest Sonic Frontiers dealer or Sonic Frontiers directly.
