RECEIVER OR PREAMPLIFIER
Use of the optical digital output
This output emits the music signal as a digital S/PDIF audio signal (PCM). The connection is only requi-
red if an external D/A converter is to be used or the player is to be connected to the optical digital sound
input of an AV receiver or an AV preamplifier. To make the connection you need a Toslink cable (fibre
optic cable) which is not supplied with the device. Connect the connector “DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL”
(11) of the device to the amplifier’s digital input socket which is normally labelled “DIGITAL IN” or “OPTI-
CAL INPUT”. The best sound is obtained in most cases by connection with an analogue output (10).

CONNECTIONS FOR THE STANDBY CONTROL
(POWER CONTROL)
Many AV-Systems consist of a multitude of indivi-
dual components. To avoid the necessity of swit-
ching them on and off before and after every use,
many manufacturers have equipped their devices
with what is known as “POWER CONTROL” circuit
or “TRIGGER”. This kind of remote-controlled
standby circuit is used primarily for preamplifier
and power amplifiers. To employ these functions,
direct or indirect cable connections must be made
between the preamplifier (or integrated amplifier)
and all the devices which support this function. The
“POWER CONTROL” function operates in such a
way that each switching on or off of one device in
the system (usually the preamplifier) automatically
brings about the switching on or off of all the con-
nected devices which support this function. Please
keep in mind that all devices which respond to the
power control are not disconnected from the mains
Use of the coaxial digital output
This output emits the music signal as a digital S/PDIF audio signal (PCM). The connection is only requi-
red if an external D/A converter is to be used or the player is to be connected to the coaxial digital audio
input of an AV receiver or an AV preamplifier. To make the connection you need a coaxial cable with 75
Ω
characteristic impedance and with a RCA connector on both sides, which is not supplied with the device.
Connect the connector “DIGITAL OUTPUT COAXIAL” (11) of the device to the digital input socket of the
amplifier which is usually labelled “DIGITAL IN” or “COAXIAL INPUT”. The best sound is obtained in most
cases by connection with an analogue output (10).
