PerfectWave Transport
Turn the AC power switch in the rear of the PWT to the ON position. The power switch is located
just above the AC inlet. It is not advisable to turn this switch on or off with your power amplifier
on as it can cause a loud pop noise to come through the system under some circumstances.
As soon as the switch is activated the front panel touch screen will display the initializing screen.
This screen shows when the PWT’s internal “engine” (FPGA) is being loaded with the firmware
that runs the PWT.
After the
INITIALIZING SCREEN
, you will see the
OPENING SCREEN
that reads “Insert Disc”.
The PWT is ready for operation.
Ready Mode
The front panel PS logo button,
located on the far left hand
corner of the unit, is the Ready/
Operation Mode control for
the PWT. This control has two
modes: Ready Mode and
Operational Mode. Ready
Mode is designed to keep
power on to critical internal
circuitry including power supply
capacitors, thermally sensitive
semiconductors and integrated
circuits.
Press this front panel button to activate the Ready Mode or to place the PWT in Operational
Mode. When pressed to activate the Ready Mode, the display as well as the outputs are turned
off, but all the unit’s critical internal circuitry remains active.
If you wish to conserve energy consumed by the PerfectWave Transport it will be necessary to
use the rear panel power switch. Using this rear panel switch will remove power from critical
components and in order to gain maximum performance levels you will need to turn the
PerfectWave Transport’s power on at least 3 hours before use.
OPENING THE DRAWER
To open the Transport drawer, press the
OPEN/CLOSE
ICON either from the touch screen or
from the remote.
Insert the disc. The PWT plays high-resolution audio WAV files, standard CDs, dual layer SACDs
(that have a CD layer) and compilations on either CD, CDR, DVD or DVDR media. The PWT will
not play SACD only or DVDA discs. As of this writing only DVDs using the UDF 2.0 file system
will work.
After the disc is inserted, press the
OPEN/CLOSE
ICON on the touch screen (or remote) again
to close the drawer.
