Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of the new M3SCD player. This unit will give top quality performance when
used as a top quality CD player delivering the best performance possible from CD
Cleaning
Before cleaning the unit, switch off power at the mains switch and remove the mains plug from the wall socket.
Clean the cabinet and remote control unit using a moist cloth. Using solvents, white spirit or thinners is not
advised, as they could damage the surface finish.
Installation
Position the M3SCD on a stable, horizontal surface where there is no risk of it being knocked, or subjected to
vibration such as from loudspeakers.
Important note:
In normal operation, the unit dissipates a small quantity of power at all times, and it is important
that it is adequately ventilated. The top and bottom are perforated to allow the smooth flow of heat
through the unit. It is therefore not recommended that the unit is enclosed in a cabinet or placed
where the ventilation holes are impeded as this could result in excessive heat build-up.
The M3SCD must be protected from humidity – if the unit is moved from a cold place to a warm
room, leave the unit for an hour or so to allow sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate.
Power Connections
The M3SCD is supplied with a standard IEC mains cable which plugs into the IEC socket at the back of the unit
Audio Connections
RCA line outputs:
Use good quality well shielded RCA phono audio cables (fully connected signal and
ground), for optimum signal transfer.
Digital Connections
RCA SP/DIF input:
Connect RCA digital sources to RCA digital inputs. Use good quality fully connected (signal
and ground) coaxial digital cables for optimum signal transfer.
Optical SP/DIF input:
Connect optical digital source to optical input. Use good quality optical cables, for
optimum signal transfer.
RCA SP/DIF output:
Connect RCA digital receiver to RCA digital outputs. Use good quality fully connected
(signal and ground) coaxial digital cables for optimum RCA digital signal transfer.
Optical SP/DIF output:
Connect optical digital receiver to optical output. Use good quality optical cables, for
optimum signal transfer.
USB (type “B”) asynchronous input:
Connect USB digital source (such as personal computer, PDA etc.) to
USB input. Use good quality USB 2.0 cable, for optimum signal transfer.
Trigger Connections
Trigger input:
Connect system triggering device output to this socket. Use good quality 3.5mm mono jack
cable. Unit accepts 4.5V-15V DC triggering, either polarity.
Trigger output:
Connect further devices in the system to be triggered into this socket. Use good quality 3.5mm
mono jack cable. Unit passes on +12V DC at up to 60mA, for further devices.
