INTRODUCTION
PRODUCT FEATURES
This unit can playback the outstanding sound
performance in Super Audio CD. This unit has the
following unique features.
• D/A converter section that accurately converts
DSD/CD signal into high-quality analog signal with
the DEM(Dynamic Element Matching) Super
DAC(CS4397).
• Low-noise low-distortion filter circuit and highspeed current-feedback-type output amplifier with
the differential input type HDAM.
• Text information display function that can display
disc titles, track titles etc. in Super Audio CD.
• CD-R/CD-RW discs can be played.
ABOUT SUPER AUDIO
The Super Audio standard is based on Direct Stream
Digital (DSD) technology. This new direct-stream
digital format comprises a 1-bit system that has a
digital sampling frequency that is 64 times higher than
that of conventional audio CD. The results are
spectacular: a frequency response of over 50k Hz
and a 120 dB dynamic range over the entire audible
spectrum. Mixed with as many of the original
frequencies as possible, the audio information
audible for human ears sounds much more natural.
All audible frequencies are, after all, embedded in
the frequency range as emitted by the sound source.
A better reproduction does not exist! For the first time
your ears will relive reality.
PLAYING CD-RW DISCS
This unit can play back the CD-RW (ReWritable)
discs as well as ordinary music CD and CD-R
(Recordable) discs.
• The CD-R and CD-RW discs should contain
properly-recorded TOC information so that they
can be played back. With the CD recorder system,
writing the TOC information in a disc is referred to
as finalizing the disc. A disc cannot be recognized
as a CD disc and played back unless it has been
finalized properly. For details, please read the
instruction manual provided with a CD recorder.
* TOC stands for Table Of Contents and contains
information such as the total number of tracks
and total playing time of the disc.
• This unit can play only the discs recorded in the
CD-DA format designed for music reproduction.
Do not attempt to play a disc containing other data,
such as a CD-ROM for PCs, on this unit.
• As the playback of a CD-RW disc necessitates
partial change of the player setup, it may take
longer time for reading the TOC information than
when a music CD or CD-R disc is played.

BEFORE USING
NOTES ABOUT THE DISCS
* Handle the discs carefully so as not to scratch
their surfaces.
* Keep the surfaces of the discs clean at all times.
When cleaning the surfaces of discs, always be
sure to use the special cleaner and wipe the
surfaces in the directions shown in the figure below.
•
•
Wipe the surface
radially from the center.
* Do not attach pieces of paper or stickers to the
label surfaces of the discs.
When a disc has a piece of plastic tape or rental
CD label with paste protruding from the edge or
when a disc still bears traces of sticky tape or
adhesive labels, do not attempt to play it. If such a
disc is played on the CD player, you may find that
you cannot remove it or that some other kind of
malfunctioning may occur.
* Do not use discs which come in special shapes.
Do not attempt to play heart-shaped or octagonal
discs or discs with any other special shapes. You
may find that you cannot remove them or that some
other kind of malfunctioning may occur in the player.
* Use discs which satisfy the CD standards such
as those with the “CD logo” or “ ” mark on
their disc label surfaces.
No guarantees are made for playback if discs which
do not satisfy the appropriate CD standards are
used.
Similarly, no guarantees are made for their sound
quality even if it is possible to play such discs.
Do not wipe the surface in
the circumferential direction.
2
* To protect your discs from damage, avoid
placing them in the following locations.
• Where they will be exposed to direct sunlight or
where they will be close to a heater or other heatradiating appliance
• Where the humidity level is high or it is very dusty
• Near a window or other such location where they
may be exposed to rain
* Get into the habit of putting the discs back in
their cases after use.
INAPPROPRIATE PLACES FOR
INSTALLATION
To keep your player in perfect working order for the
longest possible time, avoid installing the player in
the following locations.
• Wherever it will be exposed to direct sunlight
• Wherever it will be close to a heater or other heat-
radiating appliance
• Wherever the humidity is high or ventilation is poor
• Wherever it is very dusty
• Wherever it will be subject to vibration
• On top of a rickety stand or in an unstable location
which is tilted at an angle
• On top of an amplifier or other component which
dissipates a great deal of heat
• In an audio rack with little space at the top and
bottom or other location where the heat dissipation
will be obstructed
To ensure proper heat dissipation, install the player
while leaving clearances between the player and
wall or other components, as shown in the figure
below.

CAUTIONS ON HANDLING POWER CORD
• Do not touch the power cord with wet hands.
• When disconnecting the power cord, always make
sure that you take hold of the plug. Yanking out or
bending the cord can damage it and/or cause
electric shocks or a fire.
• Get into the habit of disconnecting the power plug
before leaving home.
DO NOT ATTEMPT REPAIRS YOURSELF
• Refrain from lubricating the player: doing so can
cause malfunctioning.
• Only qualified engineers with specialized expertise
are authorized to repair the pick-up and parts
inside the player.
PRECAUTIONS
• In winter, droplets of water form on the insides of
the windows of a heated room: this is called
condensation. This player uses an optical lens,
so the condensation may form in the following
cases.
- In a room immediately after the heating has
been turned on
- In a room where the humidity level is high
- When the player has been suddenly brought
from a cold location into a warm room
Since, in cases like this, the track numbers may
not be read and the player is prevented from
operating properly, wait about 30 minutes, and then
operate the player.
• This player may cause interference on a tuner or
TV set. If this is the case, place it further away
from the tuner or TV set.
• Compact discs have much less noise than analog
records and hardly any noise is heard before play
starts. Bear in mind, therefore, that if the volume
control on the amplifier is set too high, you will risk
damaging other audio components.
• This player is designed to play Super Audio CD
and normal music CDs only. It cannot play CDROMs used with personal computers, game CDs,
video CDs or DVDs (video/audio).
• We do not recommend the use of lens cleaners.
USING REMOTE CONTROL UNIT
Cautions on handling batteries
Misuse of the batteries can result in electrolyte
leakage, rupturing, corrosion, etc.
Bear in mind the following points when using
batteries.
• Remove the batteries from the remote control
unit if the unit is not going to be used for a
prolonged period (a month or more).
• Do not use an old battery together with a new
one.
• Insert the batteries while ensuring that their
and poles are properly aligned with
the corresponding markings on the remote
control unit.
• Batteries with the same shape may have
different voltages. Do not use different types
of batteries together.
• If electrolyte has leaked, thoroughly wipe the
inside of the battery compartment, and then
insert new batteries.
• When batteries which are no longer required
are to be discarded, follow the directions
(regulations) laid down by the local authorities
in the area concerned for their disposal.
