IMPORTANT READ THESE NOTES BEFORE CONNECTING TO AC MAINS!
2 SET UP GUIDE
1
Unpack unit carefully
. Make sure that it is in
good condition. If not report to your supplier
immediately. It is important that you keep the
packaging for warranty/service return.
2
The contents of the box are:
1x CDX2,
1x mains cable,
1x remote control. (inc 2x AAA battieries)
1x CD retaining magnet,
1x instruction manual,
1x Allen key
1x star type screwdriver
No transit screw removal or setting up is required.
The output valve is already fitted. The CDX2 is ready
to use. Loosen back plate screws of remote control
using supplied screwdriver and remove piece of tape
insulating the batteries, ensure batteries are in place
and re-tighten back plate.
3. Connect to amplifier, or pre amplifier as shown.
USE THE “VALVE OUTPUT” RCA SOCKETS. If you
are intending to connect directly to a power amplifier,
you will need some form of volume control such as
our “Passive” pre-amp. The connections marked “OP
AUDIO OUTPUT” are transistor output only.
4. Before connecting to AC power, Check that the
power switch on the front is “off”. Then connect the
supplied IEC mains lead to a 220-240v supply (or
115v USA)
If for some reason the UK welded plug
must be removed, please remove plug fuse and
dispose of immediately.
(As they can be a danger
to children). The replacement plug should be wired in
the following way Brown to Live terminal, Blue to
Neutral terminal and Green/Yellow to Earth terminal.
5.
Connect to your amplifier using the “TUBE”
output RCA output sockets. The other outputs are
not valve output.
6. Using the CD Player with a separate “DAC”.
Using the “COAXIAL DIGITAL OUT” connect a
suitable DAC Select the appropriate input on your
DAC. Your signal will be now be decoded through
your DAC without the CDX2 valve output circuit.
Any conventional integrated or pre-amplifier may
be used. Most “Passive” pre-amps including Icon
Audio may also be used.
SWITCH ON!
The grey fluorescent display should
light up. To play a CD insert into the top
compartment, place magnetic clamp on top, close
door and press play when track information is
displayed.
7 All these things are normal for the CDX2
A, Mobile phone ‘breakthrough’ is normal. Move
the phone away from the CDX2
B, Some CDR CDs may not play
C, Some CDRW CDs may not play.
MP3 or other files are not compatible
SACD discs will only play the “CD” track if present.
8 Health and Safety
. Always unplug from power
when making adjustments.
Like all electronic
devices there are potentially lethal high
voltages inside, which when switched off can
take time to discharge.
Do not remove the cover
unless you are a competent engineer. There are
no user serviceable parts inside.
Like other
household electrical appliances do not leave
unattended whilst switched on.
Do not use
valves other than specified
.
