Make sure the connection cable is not being squeezed or damaged by sharp edges. Always
lay the cables in such a way that no-one can stumble over them or become entangled in
them. There is risk of injury!
Make sure you avoid direct, intensive sunlight, vibrations, dust, heat, cold and moisture
when selecting the location of the appliance.
No appliances with strong electric or magnetic fields, such as transformers, motors,
wireless telephones, radios of computers, may be within the direct vicinity of the dual CD
player, since they can influence the CD player. Furthermore the CD player may be source of
interference to radios or television sets. Keep it therefore a sufficient distance away from
such appliance.
Due to the large variety of paints and polishes used for furniture, it cannot be ruled out that the
feet of the appliance may leave visible marks on the furniture. The appliance should therefore not
be placed on the surfaces of valuable furniture without any appropriate protection.
Table top use:
Place the drive unit and the control unit on a flat and level surface. The control unit has appropriate feet on
the rear. The feet of the appliance are on the bottom of the drive unit.
Use within a rack:
The control unit and drive unit can be built into a “19” rack. A rack with openings on both sides is
recommended to allow the appliance to be installed and connected without any problems. Four attachment
holes are in the front plate of both the control unit and the drive unit. Attach both the control unit and the
drive unit in the rack with four M6 screws.
Attachment to the front plate alone is insufficient for a safe attachment. Additional, even attachment must
be provided by side and floor rails. The respective rack manufacturers provide several options for this
purpose.
9. Connection
Before connecting the dual CD player, disconnect it and any other appliances which are to be connected
to it from the mains supply (pull mains plug from the socket). Use the supplied cables to connect the
appliance. Interference and safety problems can be caused by using the wrong cables.
a)
Connecting the control unit and drive unit
Connect the
system connection socket (19)
of the control unit to the
system connection socket (25)
on
the drive unit with the supplied system control cable.
Only use the supplied system connection cable as connection cable as connection cable. Do not try to
plug in the cable with force. There is only one position in which the plugs can be inserted. Operation is not
possible without the control unit and drive unit connected.
b)
Connection of the audio cinch outputs
Connect a free cinch input of your amplifier or mixer to the
AUDIO-OUT (27)
cinch output.
The white
AUDIO-OUT
socket (L) of the drive is connected to the left input of the respective amplifier or
mixer.
The red
AUDIO-OUT
socket (R) of the drive is connected to the right input of the respective amplifier or
mixer.

Only appliances with analogue audio cinch inputs (LINE level) may be connected to the outputs to avoid
any distortion or mismatching which could damage the appliance.
c)
Connection to the power supply
The dual CD player and all appliances connected to it must be switched off. Make sure all of
the electrical connections and connection cables between the appliance and any extension
cables conform to the regulations and comply with the operating instructions.
Make sure the voltage specifications on the nameplate (back of the appliance) correspond
to the available power supply voltage before establishing the connection. Serious damage
can be caused by incorrect supply voltages.
Connect the appliance connection plug of the supplied mains cable to the “AC INPUT” (26) mains
connection of the dual CD player. Insert the mains plug into a 110V~/60Hz-230V~/50Hz mains socket.
10. Putting the appliance into service
Only put the appliance into service once you have become familiar with its features and these operating
instructions. Check whether all connections have been established properly. Do not put the appliance into
service if it is damaged.
Do not listen to music at excessive volume since it can damage your hearing.
The amplifier of the system should always be switched on last and switched off first. In this way you can
prevent any undesired noises (which can be made when switching off the CD player, for example) from
damaging the amplifier or loudspeakers.
Make sure the connected appliances are not overloaded. Playback may not be distorted under any
circumstances. If any distorted music signals can be heard even though the volume which is set on the
amplifier is not too high, switch off the dual CD player immediately and check the connection. Please
contact a specialist if there is no error to the connection.
CD player 1 and CD player 2 are equipped with exactly the same features and can be operated separately.
a) Switching on the appliance
Turn the volume of the connected amplifier to minimum. Switch off the dual CD player by the on/off switch.
Then, if a mixer is connected, switch it on and finally switch on the amplifier of the system.
b) Inserting CDs
Open the CD compartment by pressing the
OPEN/CLOSE
button either on the control unit or the drive unit. “OPEN”
appears on the display.
The open drive tray is closed automatically after about
60 seconds if no other button is pressed.
Insert an audio CD in the CD tray with the written side
facing upwards. Hold the CD by the outer edge and avoid
touching its inner surface.
The dual CD player is only designed for playing audio CDs. Do not insert any other CDs. Make sure the CD
is placed properly in the recess in the tray intended for this purpose.
