Note
: This product has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This product generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this product does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
Please take attention that changes or modification
not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
This equipment should be installed and operated with a
minimum distance 20cm between the radiator and your
body.
Cet équipement doit être installé et utilisé à une distance
minimale de 20 cm entre le radiateur et votre corps.
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt
RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:

2. l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage
radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est
susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter
may only operate using an antenna of a type and
maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by
Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference
to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so
chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power
(e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful
communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada,
le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une
antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur)
approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le
but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique
à l’intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type
d’antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope
rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l’intensité
nécessaire à l’établissement d’une communication
satisfaisante.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
These instructions help you get the best possible sound
from your DD35.
Phase
The phase of the AC supply can make a significant
difference to the sound.
Use the Polarity Pen supplied with the DD35 to verify
which pin is live on your AC power cable.
Ensure that the live pin of the AC power cable is
connected to the left-hand pin of the power connector,
viewed from the back panel:
Burn-in
Your Primare will start to sound best after an initial burn-in
of approximately 24 hours.
You will notice a further smaller improvement in sound
quality for at least another 3 days’ playing.
RS232 and trigger
The RS232 input allows you to connect the DD35 to a
controller system. Use a twisted (null modem) cable. For
more information contact Primare at info@primare.net or
visit www.primare.net.
The Trigger output allows the DD35 to be switched on by
other devices, such as an I35.
Using the DD35 with an I35
Your DD35 is an ideal companion to the Primare I35 CD
Prisma Integrated Amplifier. For best results link the two
products together as follows using the two cables supplied
with the DD35:
To connect the trigger cable
The Trigger cable ensures that the I35 switches on, or to
standby, when you operate the O button on the front panel
of the DD35.
Connect the Trigger cable from the DD35 TRIG OUT to
l
the I35 TRIG IN.
Configure the I35 to TRIG ON.
l
Factory reset
Press and hold the O standby button on the front panel to
display the main firmware version number.
Press and hold the O standby button on the front panel for
10 seconds to perform a factory reset of the DD35.
You can also do a factory reset from the Prisma app,
or from the GENERAL SETTINGS menu; see
