Getting Started
Connecting via DIGITAL (CD) OUT OPTICAL
connector
Use an optical digital cable for this connection. When connecting
the optical digital cable to the DIGITAL (CD) OUT OPTICAL
connector, take the cap off the connectors and push the cable
plugs in until they click into place.
Be careful not to bend or twist the optical cable.
Optical digital cable (not supplied)
Note
Only the audio signals of conventional CDs can be output from
the DIGITAL (CD) OUT connectors. Those of the Super Audio
CD cannot be output through DIGITAL (CD) OUT.
Connecting via DIGITAL (CD) OUT COAXIAL
connector
Use a coaxial digital cable to connect the audio components
equipped with coaxial digital input connectors.
Coaxial digital cable (not supplied)
Note
Only the audio signals of conventional CDs can be output from
the DIGITAL (CD) OUT connectors. Those of the Super Audio
CD cannot be output through DIGITAL (CD) OUT.
Connecting the AC power cord
Connect the supplied AC power cord to the AC IN terminal on
the player and to the mains.
Note on the ANALOG output jacks
This player is equipped with a Tri-Powered D/A Converter
System and a Multi Channel Management function. The usable
output settings differ depending on the mode you select as
follows. For details, refer to the Operating Instructions.

Note on 2 channel playback of Super Audio CDs
If you select “2ch + SW,” the output setting becomes 3 channel
and the playback sound is output from the 5.1 CH OUT jacks.
Therefore, no sound is output from the 2 CH OUT jacks or
PHONES jack.

About the AC power cord
The supplied AC power cord has a 3-pronged grounded plug. If
you are using 3-pronged grounded mains, the plug can be
inserted directly into the mains. However, if the socket is a 2-
pronged grounded mains, use the supplied plug adapter or a
commercially available plug adapter.

•
When the width of the mains are a different size
Use the supplied plug adapter.
•
When the width of the mains are the same size
Use a commercially available plug adapter. In this case, you
can check the polarity of the mains with a commercially
available spark-testing screwdriver. It is the pronged ground
that does not light the neon grow lamp even if you insert the
spark-testing screwdriver into the mains. Insert the blades so
that the “N pole” can be inserted to the ground on the plug.
If noise (hum) is produced
Noise may be caused by an electric potential difference on the
ground circuit.* In this case, use the supplied plug adapter and be
careful not to connect the ground lead to anything.
* Although the ground of the domestic mains is normally a
safety ground, a few electrical potential differences may be
produced, depending on the mains. Therefore, use of the
supplied 3-pronged mains lead may lessen the quality of the
audio signal or may produce humming noise.
