3 Applications
This CD player has especially been designed for
applications in PA systems. It can e. g. be used
for playing background music and is equipped
with a 6-fold CD magazine for uninterrupted
music replay.
It is possible to replay audio CDs, CDs you
have burnt yourself (audio CD-R), and CDs with
titles in the MP3 format and WMA format. How-
ever, problems may occur when playing re
-
writable CDs (CD-RW), depending on the type of
CD, the CD burner and the burning software
used.
4 Placing and
Connecting the CD Player
The PA-2460CD is provided for mounting into a
rack for units with a width of 482 mm (19″) but it
can also be used as a tabletop unit. For rack
installation 2 rack spaces (rs) are required =
89 mm.
Prior to the connection of units or changing exist-
ing connections switch off the CD player and the
units to be connected.
1) For connection to the following unit (e. g.
amplifier, mixer) different connection possi-
bilities for the audio output are available at
the CD player:
1. coaxial digital output (26)
2. optical digital output (27)
3. analogue stereo output via the RCA jacks
(28)
4. analogue stereo output via the XLR con-
nections (29)
5. analogue mono output via the XLR con-
nection (30)
Connect the matching output to the audio
input of the following unit.
2) For continuous operation of the CD player in
case of power failure connect a 24 V emer-
gency power supply unit (e. g. PA-24ESP
from MONACOR) to the screw terminals DC
INPUT (25).
3) For remote control of the CD player via a
computer, connect the computer to the jack
RS-232C IN (31). See chapter 6. For remote
control of another unit, connect this unit to the
jack RS-232C OUT.
4) Finally connect the supplied mains cable to
the mains jack (24) first and then to a mains
socket (230 V~ / 50 Hz).
5 Operation
5.1 Switching on and off
1) Switch on the unit with the POWER switch
(11). The indication STAND-BY (12) disap-
pears and the display (19) shortly shows the
version number of the firmware.
2) The CD player searches in the magazine (22)
for the first CD inserted. If at least one CD is
in the magazine, the replay starts automati-
cally. If the display shows “NO MAGAZINE”,
the magazine has not been inserted.
3) After operation switch off the CD player with
the POWER button. However, it is not com-
pletely switched off but in stand-by mode (the
indication STAND-BY lights up) and has a
low power consumption.
