2.3. The Rapsody N36 connections
2.4. The power supply unit
The energy saving switched-mode power supply has a wide range input of 100-240V and can
be used, with appropriate adapters, in many countries throughout the world. It has a 12 volt
output and can supply a maximum current of 5 amps. This is necessary, as many modern high-
speed hard disks require a high starting current. Only use original Rapsody power supply units
with your HDD player! Undersized power supply units can not only damage the devices but may
also become overloaded and, in the worst case, can cause a fire!
Safety information:
Important! The provided power supply unit is only approved for use with the Rapsody N36! Do
not use it for other electric appliances!
2.5. Audio outputs
Stereo cinch (red/white)
A normal stereo audio signal is output here for connecting to any end devices as you wish. Multi
media contents with multi-channel tone will be reduced to stereo output.
Optical AC3 output
Your Rapsody has a TOSLINK jack, suitable for a fibre optic cable for digitally transmitting multi-
channel audio signals. You can connect this to a device with an input that can handle AC3
audio signals (DolbyDigital or DTS).
Coaxial AC3 output (orange)
AC3 multi-channel audio signals can also be output via the coaxial connection. You can connect
it with a cinch cable to an appropriate output device. This way of connecting does not usually
cause any loss of sound quality when compared with an optical connection. Most cinch cables
are suitable, a special digital cable is not usually necessary.
2.6. Video outputs
Your Rapsody N36 has several video outputs that can be selected by switching with the remote
control unit (TV OUT key).
Composite video (yellow)
This is a common video output, which you can connect directly to an output device with
composite input, using the provided cable. Your Rapsody specialist shop has favourably priced
scart adapters with which you can transmit the composite signal together with the stereo audio
