822 Super Audio CD Player
Important Safety Precautions
•Use only an approved power cable and plug or distribution board to connect your player to a power outlet. Do not use an extension cable.
•Never touch the mains plug if your hands are wet.
•Do not attempt to open the equipment. The invisible laser beam in this compact disc player is harmful to the eyes. Refer servicing and repair to qualified service personnel. Touching live components inside the case can result in a fatal electrical shock!
•Read the Owner's Manual and Safety Precautions before operating the equipment.
•Keep this Manual in a safe place so that you can refer to it later.
•Please heed all warnings on the equipment itself and in the Owner's Manual.
•Please follow the instructions contained in your Owner's manual and never use this equipment for any purpose other than is explained in this Owner's Manual.
•Only connect this equipment to a power source of the type described in the Owner's Manual and specified for this equipment.
•Make sure that there is adequate ventilation around the equipment to allow proper cooling. Keep the equipment away from direct sunlight. Avoid installing the unit close to sources of heat or in spaces such as bookshelves or cupboards where heat radiation may be obstructed. Avoid excessive temperatures in the room, as these could ultimately damage sensitive components and reduce the service life of your player.
•Never use the unit in damp rooms, at temperatures of below 10°C, or in the open air. When bringing your player in from the cold, allow it time to achieve room temperature before plugging it in.
•Always switch the unit off before removing or inserting interconnects. Doing this with the player switched on can damage not only the player itself but also equipment connected to it.
•If you ever spill water or any other liquid onto the equipment: Do not touch the case! Remove the plug from the wall outlet and contact your dealer or our service department.
•Never remove the earth connection from the plug. It is there to ensure your safety.
•Arrange the power cable so that no one can accidentally stand on it. Avoid locating it under objects that might put pressure on the cable. Pay particular attention to areas where the cable exits from plugs, AC outlets and from the unit itself.
•Never operate the unit without being present. Disconnect the plug from the wall outlet and remove all aerial connections (including cable aerials) when: you clean the unit, you do not expect to use the unit for long periods of time, during an electrical storm.
•If you have an external antenna or cable antenna connected to your hi-fi system, we recommend that you use a signal isolating filter to avoid interference or damage during thunderstorms.
•Problems: If you lose the sound while the player is operating, or if you notice smoke or burning, switch the unit off immediately and contact your dealer or our service department.
•Only replace defective fuses after you have traced and removed the cause of the fault and then only with a fuse of the same rating. Remove the mains plug before changing fuses. Use an insulated screwdriver to remove and replace the fuse.

•Place your SACD player on a stable support and use a spirit level to make sure it is perfectly level. We recommend the use of a solidly constructed hi-fi rack with adjustable shelves. In our experience, you will achieve good results with racks using MDF shelves. Glass, metal or stone are less suitable for use as hi-fi equipment supports. Avoid placing the player close to loudspeakers or any other source of vibration. The 822 will respond to these measures by performing at its best. Never stack the 822 directly on other items of equipment. Vibrations from mains transformers and electromagnetic interference from other components can have a negative impact on the player's sound quality. 800 series products are not suitable for installation in enclosures such as 19” racks or cabinets. The on/off switch at the rear of the unit must always be accessible.
•Take some time to organize your cabling. Try to keep power cables away from interconnect and speaker cables. Shielded power cords can significantly reduce the transfer of interference to your signal cables.
•Make sure that the polarity of the mains wiring is the same for all system components. You can achieve this by connecting all system components through a single high quality mains distribution board. The lower the contact resistance between the power outlets of your signal source and your amplifier, the less the audio signal will be polluted and the better your hi-fi system will sound. Connecting your components with the correct mains polarity is particularly important. Use a phase tester to determine which pole is life. Mark the appropriate side. Connect the marked side of the 822 power plug to the positive conductor of your power outlet/distribution board.
•Cleaning and maintenance: To clean your CD player, use a soft cloth. Use a proprietary glass cleaner to remove stubborn dirt from the front panel. Do not use water! Never use solvents or white spirit. These will cause irreparable damage to the surface of the unit.

Power button
The power button switches the player on and off. To switch the unit on, plug it into a power outlet and press the power switch on the rear panel (position I).
Standby LED
When the 822 is in standby mode, the standby LED will illuminate. When the 822 is operational, the standby LED goes out and only the display illuminates. When you switch the unit off, the standby LED flashes for around 5 seconds. It is not possible to switch the player on again during this time. When the 822 has been unplugged from the wall socket, or when the power switch is in position 0, neither the standby LED nor the display will illuminate.
CD/SACD button
Allows you to change between the CD or SACD format with hybrid SACDs. When you load a hybrid CD, the 822 automatically selects the SACD format. If you wish to play back the CD layer of the hybrid disc, press the STOP button and then the CD/SACD button.
Infrared receiver
The infrared receiver picks up the commands sent from the remote control. For the remote control system to operate properly, you should ensure that there is a clear line of sight between the receiver and the remote handset.

Analog output
The 822 has both balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) analog outputs. Connect these to the appropriate inputs on your amplifier.
When inserting the cables, check that the plugs fit tightly in their sockets! Poorly fitting phono plugs can detract considerably from the sound quality of your system. Use gold-plated plugs whenever possible, as these have the lowest contact resistance.
Digital output
The digital output provides a standard 16-bit, 44.1kHz SPDIF-AES/EBU signal for connecting to an external DAC digital clock signal processor. The digital output works only in CD mode.
To ensure correct operation, use only a high quality digital cable of the correct impedance (RCA = 75 ohm).
USB port
The USB port is provided solely for service purposes.
Power connection
The power inlet is designed to take a removable IEC cable. We recommend you use a high quality audiophile power cable. Your dealer will be able to advise you!
