› Always ensure that the power cable has been disconnected from the power outlet before ma-
king any connections.
› Make sure that connections correspond to respective jacks, i.e. always left with left and right
with right.
RCA connectors
› Only use standard, shielded audio cables when making connections to RCA connectors. Other
cables may cause interference. Only connect devices equipped with the appropriate jacks to
avoid distortion and mismatching, which in turn could cause damage to the device.
› Make sure the correct terminal has been selected before connecting jacks. Audio cables/plugs,
as well as the terminals on most devices, are normally red and white to help distinguish what
plug is to be connected to what jack, i.e. red plug to red jack and white plug to white jack.
› Connect the jacks marked „CD” or „AUX” (depending on your amplifier) found on the back of
your amplifier to the respective jacks on your CD-2000ME. These are marked as „LINE OUT” on
the back of the device. Use the audio cable included in delivery to connect devices.
Connecting to a power supply
Merely turning the device off with the POWER button will not completely cut of the
power supply to the device. Pull the plug out of the power outlet in order to disconnect
completely.
› Always pull on the plug’s grips and never on the cable to remove from a wall outlet.
› Ensure that the POWER button is turned off (button elevated) before connecting the CD-
2000ME to a power supply.
› Only plug your CD player’s power plug into a standard 230 V/~50 Hz power outlet that has been
correctly installed according to your public power system.

Connections
Check that all connections are secure and have been made properly, before turning the
device on for the first time.
› Turn the audio source on, for example a CD player.
› Select the desired audio source on your amplifier (e.g. CD player).
› Adjust the volume to a comfortable listening level after starting playback.
› Reduce the volume level to a minimum before turning the device off.
Note
Failing to comply with the above sequence could cause damage to the loudspeakers or the
amplifier.
Volume regulation
Please note that listening to high volume levels on a continual basis could lead to or
cause permanent hearing damage. Try to maintain a safe volume level and avoid ex-
cessive noise. Over a certain amount of time your hearing will become accustomed to
higher volume levels and sensitivity will decrease making what sounds normal to you
actually quite loud and harmful to your hearing. People then tend to regularly increase
the volume when this happens. This procedure will undoubtedly lead to hearing loss.
Protect yourself against this from the beginning on by setting your equipment to a safe
level before your hearing adapts. This also applies to when using headphones. Please
also pay special attention to children using headphones.
