Connection Steps
Follow these steps to connect the CIPHER to your system.
1.
Make sure all power sources and components are off before connecting inputs
and outputs.
2.
Neatly organize the wiring between the CIPHER and all system components.
Separate AC wires from audio cables to prevent hum or other unwanted noises
from being introduced into the system.
3.
Remember that balanced outputs use three-pin XLR connectors. Single-ended
outputs use RCA connectors. Maintain the correct left/right orientation of these
outputs.
4.
To play an SACD, you need to use the analog audio outputs. Digital audio out-
puts are only available for conventional compact discs.
For multi-channel SACD (
SACD MULTI
), two-channel SACD (
SACD STEREO
), and
conventional compact disc playback, connect the CIPHER multi-channel ana-
log audio outputs to the surround preamp/processor multi-channel inputs. All
multi-channel analog audio outputs are available in the
SACD MULTI
format. The
center (C), subwoofer (SW) and surround (SL, SR) multi-channel outputs are
not available in the CD or SACD formats. The left (L) and right (R) multi-channel
outputs are always active.
5.
For two-channel and conventional compact disc playback only, connect the
CIPHER balanced analog audio outputs or the left (L) and right (R) multi-chan-
nel outputs to the preamplifier balanced or single-ended analog audio inputs.
6.
For conventional compact disc playback only, connect the CIPHER digital
coaxial output or digital optics output to the corresponding preamp/processor
digital input.
7.
Plug the AC power cord into the IEC power connector on the back panel. Then
plug the AC power cord into the wall socket.
