Unpacking and Placement
Unpacking the CDP Unpack your CDP Compact Disc Processor and remove all accessories from the
carton.
Important! Keep all packing materials for future transport of your CDP.
Shipping your new component in anything other than its
purpose-designed packing material may result in damage
that is not covered by the warranty.
Remove the Transport Screw Place the CDP Compact Disc Processor upside-down on a soft, clean surface. Re-
move the transport screw from the bottom of the unit and save it with the packing materials for future use.
Warning! The transport screw must be removed before operating the
CDP, since it immobilizes the transport mechanism during
shipping to prevent damage. This screw must also be
replaced before shipping the unit.
Placement of the CDP The CDP should be placed close to your preamplifier, thus keeping interconnect
cabling reasonably short. It may be placed on a shelf or in a cabinet where it is
convenient to operate.
Drawings are included in this manual to facilitate special installations and custom
cabinetry (see Dimensions).

A Quick Start…
We recognize that many people are understandably eager to begin listening to
their new components, and that reading the manual is often done (if at all) at a
later time—perhaps while listening to music with the new product itself. We
strongly recommend that you read this manual thoroughly, as the CDP Compact
Disc Processor incorporates many unusual features that enhance its operation.
Fortunately, we can help you get some music up and running on your system
quickly, so that you may begin enjoying your new CD player while reading more
about it. The goal here is simply to make some music as quickly as possible. The
following procedure assumes that the rest of your system is already connected
(e.g., preamplifier to power amplifier, to speakers), and that you are using the
CDP as a CD player rather than as a digital preamplifier.
1 TURN OFF YOUR ASSOCIATED COMPONENTS
This minimizes the opportunity for a momentary electrical surge disturbing
your system while making connections. If you have a large power amplifier,
allow its power supply to fully discharge before proceeding (which may
take as long as several minutes, depending on its design).
2 REMOVE THE TRANSPORT SCREW FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE CDP
If you have not done so already, remove the knurled transport screw from
the bottom of the CDP now. Be sure to save it and all packing material for
possible future use. (Tip: consider taping it to the rear of the unit so it will
be found the moment you need it.) Shipping the CDP without proper packing material and without the transport screw in its proper position may
cause damage to the unit that would not be covered by the warranty.
3 CONNECT THE CDP TO AC POWER
Connect the AC cord to the CDP at the receptacle on the rear panel, and
then to your AC outlet. Depress the front panel
take a few moments to initialize.
4 CONNECT THE LEFT AND RIGHT OUTPUTS TO APPROPRIATE INPUTS ON
YOUR PREAMP
The CDP provides for both balanced and single-ended interconnection (via
XLR and RCA connectors, respectively). Choose either the balanced (preferred) or single-ended outputs, and connect them to a line-level input on
your preamplifier (probably labeled “CD” or some such), using high quality
cables.
5 POWER UP THE REST OF THE SYSTEM (POWER AMPLIFIER LAST)
Always turn the power amplifier(s) off first, and on last. This good habit
minimizes the opportunity for unexpected transients to be passed to your
loudspeakers. (Another good habit: turn the volume down on your preamp
before turning it back on.)
power button. The CDP will

6 SELECT THE INPUT YOU ARE USING ON YOUR PREAMPLIFIER
Take care that a Tape Monitor switch does not override your selection of
the input on your preamplifier, or you will be struck by how “quiet” your
new CD player is.…
7 LOAD A DISC IN THE DRAWER AND PRESS PLAY; SLOWLY RAISE THE
VOLUME ON YOUR PREAMPLIFIER
Congratulations! You should now be able to enjoy your favorite music while
reading the rest of this manual. (Please, do read the rest of this manual.)
Warm up/break-in period Although your Proceed CDP Compact Disc Processor delivers outstanding perfor-
mance straight out of the box, you should expect to hear it continue to improve
as it reaches its normal operating temperatures and its various components
“break-in.” It has been our experience that the greatest changes occur within the
first 300 hours as the CDP reaches thermal equilibrium and the capacitors fully
form. After this initial break-in period, the performance of your new product
should remain quite consistent for years to come.
The only exception to this rule is if power is removed from the unit for an extended period of time, allowing it to cool down. Depending on the degree of
cooling involved, you should expect a brief warm-up period before the CDP’s
sound quality is at its best. Unless your CDP was allowed to become quite
chilled, subsequent thermal re-stabilization should not take long.
Using the CDP as
a digital processor
Using the CDP as
a digital preamp
The CDP incorporates two digital inputs for use with digital sources such as
laserdisc players, digital recorders, and digital cable radio systems. These digital
inputs use the digital audio processor in the CDP. In relatively straightforward systems with only one or two digital sources beyond the CD player itself, the CDP
may be the only digital processor needed.
You may access either of the digital sources connected to the two auxiliary digital
inputs on the CDP by pressing source on the remote control. This action cycles
through the CD transport portion of the CDP, to Input 1 (the S/PDIF input), to Input 2 (the EIAJ input), then returning to the CD.
Since the CDP already includes some input selection capabilities, the addition of
a high quality volume control turns it into a combination CD player/digital
preamplifier. In simple systems consisting only of three or fewer digital sources,
amplification and loudspeakers, the CDP may be the only control center needed.
Most owners of the CDP will also have analog sources (radio, tape, VCR, etc.) and
will therefore require an analog preamplifier. For this reason, the CDP’s volume
control circuitry is bypassed by default (as shipped from the factory). But if you
would prefer to use the CDP’s volume control circuitry, you may enable it in the
Setup menu. Please see Customizing the CDP, later in this manual for details.

Special Design Features
Congratulations on your purchase of the CDP Compact Disc Processor. The Madrigal design team is confident you will enjoy the outstanding performance of the
CDP for many years. In case you are interested in technical details, what follows
is a brief outline of some of the key technologies in your new CD player.
Transport Design The first portion of any CD player it its transport: the mechanism by which infor-
mation is recovered from the disc itself and made ready for conversion to analog.
The characteristics of an outstanding CD transport are simple to define: it must
recover the correct data from the disc, and deliver it to the digital processor portion of the CD player without any timing errors (sometimes called “jitter”). As
simple as this sounds, achieving it in reality has been extremely difficult—as evidenced by the significant sonic differences between various CD transports.
Conventional CD transport design depends on the quality of the oscillator used
to control the rate at which the disc itself spins. This oscillator exists in an extremely “noisy” electrical environment close to the motor that spins the disc. The
electrical noise introduces timing errors in the delivery of the digital signal that
have come to be known as “jitter.” Subsequent handling of the digital audio signal in traditional transport designs cannot improve upon this “jittery” signal, lacking a better reference. To the contrary, the various stages of signal processing between the laser pickup and the final output can only contribute additional jitter of
their own.
The Proceed CDP leaps beyond conventional digital audio technology by employing a proprietary, closed-loop jitter-reduction system in conjunction with a
double speed CD-ROM drive. Using a custom-made crystal oscillator with better
than five part-per-million accuracy, the digital signal is reclocked immediately before being sent to the digital to analog converters, eliminating transport-related
jitter from the digital audio signal. This same crystal oscillator controls the all-digital servo used to control the rate at which the disc spins, and the digital to analog
conversion process.
In effect, the design of the CDP turns the accepted status quo on its head. By
placing the all-important reference clock immediately prior to digital to analog
conversion, and slaving both the mechanical subassemblies and the digital to analog converters to it rather than the other way around, the signal presented to the
outputs of the CDP is virtually uncontaminated by jitter. The sonic advantages of
this design are immediately apparent in the clarity, warmth and stunning dynamic
contrasts exhibited by the CDP.
Digital Servo Control The laser mechanism used in the CDP uses all digital servo controls of its opera-
tions. Critical functions such as focus and tracking are handled completely in the
digital domain with mathematical precision. Whereas conventional, analog servos
require periodic realignments for optimum performance (to compensate for the
aging of various analog components), a digital servo remains stable over time,
never needing readjustment under normal conditions.
10
Input/Output Versatility The CDP incorporates two digital inputs, allowing two external digital sources
such as a laserdisc player and a digital recorder to benefit from the excellent digi-
Page 11
tal processor that is incorporated within. The two most common digital interfaces
are supported for the widest compatibility: eiaj optical (sometimes called
“TosLink™”) and s/pdif electrical, via an RCA connector.
A high quality S/PDIF digital output is also provided via an RCA connector. This
digital output may be used to feed the selected source signal to the input of a
digital recorder or to an outboard digital processor. (This output benefits from the
closed-loop jitter reduction circuitry described above when the CD transport is
the selected source.)
Fully balanced design The CDP is fully balanced in both the analog and digital domains. The auxiliary,
single-ended digital inputs are immediately converted to balanced signals before
any further routing or processing of the signal. Conversion to analog is accomplished in two opposing polarity 18-bit converters per channel.
This approach maintains the integrity of the signal, reducing the opportunities for
music-destroying noise and digital artifacts to enter the signal path.

All digital filtering and processing maintains a true 24-bit throughput capability,
providing greater digital resolution than any existing source component. Even the
most stringent requirements of professionals can easily be met with this design.
In addition, the CDP also incorporates High Definition Compatible Digital® decoding to take full advantage of the increased resolution available from HDCD

encoded 16-bit CDs. The High Definition Compatible Digital® format retains much
of the resolution inherent in professional twenty bit recordings by encoding this
information more efficiently within the sixteen bit space available within the
Compact Disc format.

slightly more than 1⁄2 dB per step, providing excellent volume resolution. Significantly, this volume control circuitry uses an advanced hybrid analog and digital
design that avoids the sonic penalties associated with purely digital volume controls.
such as the PRE preamplifier. Dark buttons against a light face simplify the operation of the CDP, even in a dimly-lit room. The large, easily read display provides
information as to the operational status of the CDP from across the room, making
the supplied remote control more genuinely useful than on products lacking such a
display.
In keeping with its sophisticated design, the CDP also incorporates a Madrigaldesigned loading mechanism. Contrasting strongly with the bulky, plastic drawers
commonly used, the slim 1⁄8 inch drawer is machined from a solid piece of aluminum and rides on highly polished steel and Teflon™ bearings. Its variable-speed
design opens and closes quickly, but without jarring the disc contained within,
nor risking a jam from dislodging it.

1 POWER & POWER LED
Assuming that the CDP’s power cord is connected to AC power, pressing
this latching power button connects the CDP to the AC mains and turns on
the unit. When power is restored after an interruption, the CDP will be
ready to operate (that is, it won’t be in standby mode), after a few moments’ delay to allow its circuits to stabilize.
mute
display
random program
While the CDP is in standby (see 9, below), the LED above the power but-
ton is red. When the CDP is ready to operate (that is, when it is not in
standby mode), this LED is amber. Naturally, when AC power is off, the LED
is off.
2 PROGRAM – AND PROGRAM + BUTTONS
Using these two buttons, the CDP can be easily programmed to play a special “playlist,” or sequence of tracks, on any particular disc. Pressing
program + adds a selection to a program (or advances through an existing
playlist when reviewing a program you have already created).
Alternatively, it may be simpler to omit the one or two songs that you have
heard too many times on the radio, playing the rest of the tracks in order.
Pressing program – will delete the selected track from the playlist, omitting
it on playback.
A program may be entered any time a disc is in the CDP and the unit is in
the stop mode. For detailed information on programming the CDP, see Pro-
gramming the CDP later in this manual.
12
Page 13
3 PREV/REW BUTTON
Pressing this button momentarily will return you to the beginning of the
current track. Pressing it repeatedly will move you backward through the
available tracks, one at a time. Pressing and holding this button will instead
perform a reduced-volume reverse scan of the music, reminiscent of the
audible rewind function found on many cassette decks. This scanning mode
allows you to quickly find a particular point within a track.
(Note that if you press
prev/rew within two seconds of the beginning of a
track, the CDP will assume that you meant to go further back and take you
to the beginning of the previous track rather than the current track.)
4 PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON
Press this button in order to play a disc. If a programmed sequence of
tracks exists for that particular disc, the program will be played from its beginning. Also, as you might expect, you may press the play button immediately after placing a disc in the CDP’s drawer; the drawer will close and the
CDP will enter the play mode as soon as it has read the disc’s table of contents.
Pressing this button during play will pause the CDP at that point within
the track; the time display will blink slowly as a reminder that you are in
the pause mode.
the extended pause mode After about two minutes in pause, the CDP will go automatically into an
“extended pause” mode that stops the disc and turns off the laser against
the possibility that you have been called away and may not return for some
time. The extended pause mode is indicated by the display blinking more
slowly than in normal pause. You may force the CDP to enter extended
pause by pressing and holding the play/pause button for about five sec-
onds.
In effect, extended pause is much like stop, with the exception that press-
ing play will return you to the point on the disc where you had left off listening, after only a momentary hesitation to spin the disc back up to speed
and scan to the appropriate point.
5 NEXT/F.FWD BUTTON
Pressing this button momentarily will advance the CDP to the beginning of
the next track. Pressing and holding this button will instead perform a re-
duced-volume fast forward scan of the music, reminiscent of the audible
fast forward function found on many cassette decks. This scanning mode
allows you to quickly find a particular point within a track.
6 INFRARED TRANSCEIVER (WITHIN DISPLAY)
Infrared commands transmitted from the remote control are received by a
receiver behind this section of the display. Remote control of the CDP may
be unreliable if there is not a clear line of sight between the remote control
and the receiver (if the remote is far off-axis, or if the CDP is within a cabinet, for example). In such a case consider using a third-party IR repeater to
route the signal to the IR input jack on the rear panel (see Rear Panel, CDP,
below).
13
Page 14
In addition to receiving IR commands, the CDP has the ability to teach a
learning remote control its own commands from an IR transmitter located
in this same area. (See Using Learning Remote Controls for more informa-
tion.)
7 TIME INDICATOR
The time section of the display can be set to display any of the following
four indications of time in minutes and seconds:
time elapsed on disc, time remaining on disc, time remaining in track.
time elapsed in track,
These four options are accessed by pressing the display button to the right
of the display (see 9, below), which cycles through the four modes of time
display, using the on disc and time rem. LEDs to indicate which mode is
chosen at any moment. When in stop, the indicated time will normally de-
fault to the total remaining time on the disc (or in the playlist for the cur-
rent disc, if programmed). This time indication may be changed if desired
once in stop.
8 TRACK INDICATOR
The next two characters are used to indicate the number of the track being
played. When a compact disc is loaded but the transport is in the stop
mode, this same space indicates the total number of tracks on the disc (or
in the program for the current disc, if programmed).
9 MUTE INDICATOR
The CDP’s remote control includes a mute button to allow quick and easy
reduction of the system’s volume when desired. The output level of the
CDP will quickly reduce by a user-defined amount (approximately -20 dB
as delivered from the factory) when mute is engaged. This LED flashes red
while ramping the volume up or down on the CDP, then glows red continuously for the duration of muted playback. Pressing mute again will ramp the
volume back to its previous setting.
Note: The mute indicator will continue to operate even when the
display is turned off, in order to avoid any unpleasant
surprises (such as might happen when you attempt to mute
an already-muted system, inadvertently raising the volume
instead).
10 DIS P L AY BUT TON
The display button cycles through the four time display modes used to indicate where you are on the disc. These four display modes are:
• time elapsed in track (neither LED lit)
• time elapsed on disc (on disc LED lit)
• time remaining on disc (on disc and time rem. LEDs lit)
• time remaining in track (time rem. LED lit)
14
Page 15
These four options are accessed by repeatedly pressing the display button,
which cycles through the four modes. In effect, the CDP assumes you will
be most interested seeing elapsed time on the current track; only depar-
tures from that assumption are denoted by LEDs. The CDP will remember
the last display mode selected and continue to display that information until
you change it, except in stop (when it always defaults to showing the time
remaining on disc, or in the disc’s playlist if it has been programmed). If
desired, once in
stop the time indication may be changed to show any of
the other display modes.
displaying volume If you elect to use the CDP’s volume control (see Customizing the CDP),
you may change the default display in the round window from the track
number to the current volume setting by pressing and holding the display
button. (You may return to a default display of the track number by clicking
display again.) By default, the CDP will display the track number until ei-
ther the up or the down button is pressed; it will then display the volume
for four seconds (to allow you to see what you are doing). Once the volume is displayed, continued (or repeated) pressing of the up or down but-
tons will change the output level.
11 DRAWER
The CDP employs an elegant, slim drawer that is machined from a solid
piece of aluminum. It is normally opened and closed by pressing the
stop/drawer button. If opened, it may also be closed simply by gently
pushing the front edge inward (as though you were going to close it manually). The CDP will interpret this as a request to close the drawer and take
over for you, smoothly closing the drawer.
If the CDP senses an obstruction during opening of the drawer mechanism,
it will stop where it is and wait for your intervention. After removing the
obstruction, press either the play or the stop/drawer button again to close
the drawer normally.
Similarly, if the CDP senses an obstruction during the closing of its drawer
(as might be caused by an improperly seated CD, or an inquisitive child’s
finger), it will stop immediately and attempt to reopen. If the nature of the
obstruction prevents this also, it will stop where it is and wait for your intervention. After removing the obstruction, press the stop/drawer button again
to close the drawer.
12 STOP/DRAWER BUTTON
Pressing this button once while a disc is playing will stop the disc, resulting
in the total number of tracks and the total time on the disc being displayed
(unless you elect to display volume information instead; see displaying volume, page 15). (Both the disc and the time rem. LEDs are lit in stop to
clarify the meaning of the information being displayed at this point.)
Pressing this button once the disc has stopped, or if there is no disc in the
transport, will cause the drawer to open. If the disc is still playing, you may
press the button twice rapidly, to effect both the stop command and the
drawer open command; the CDP will remember the second button push
and execute it as soon as the disc has stopped spinning.
15
Page 16
Pressing the stop/drawer button will cause an open drawer to close. If it
senses a disc in the drawer, the CDP will take a moment to read the disc’s
table of contents so that it may display the total number of tracks and the
total time on the disc for your information.
Finally, pressing and holding the stop/drawer button while the CDP is
stopped will display the version number of the operating software and its
checksum. This “hidden feature” allows you to double-check the version
number and integrity of the software in your unit without having to open it
up, should this ever become necessary.
13 REPEAT BUTTON AND INDICATORS
You may choose to either repeat the entire disc (including any programs
you might have entered for that particular disc) or an individual track by
pressing the
repeat button will light the disc LED below the display. Pressing the repeat
button again will light the track LED. Pressing it a third time will cycle out
of any repeating mode, as will pressing stop/drawer at any time. In either
case, both repeat LEDs will be extinguished.
The disc repeat LED is lit when the CDP is set to repeat a disc (or a disc’s
program, if it has one) endlessly.
The track repeat LED is lit when the CDP is set to repeat a single track
endlessly.
repeat button. From normal operation, the first press of the
14 TIME ON DISC AND TIME REMAINING LED INDICATORS
These LEDs are used to indicate which of the four available display modes
the CDP is in. The four indications of time that can be displayed are:
• time elapsed in track (neither LED lit)
• time elapsed on disc (on disc LED lit)
• time remaining on disc (on disc and time rem. LEDs lit)
• time remaining on track (time rem. LED lit)
These four options are accessed by repeatedly pressing the display button,
which cycles through the four modes. If a custom playlist exists for the current disc, time elapsed or remaining “on disc” refers to the playlist rather
than the entire disc.
15 HDCD® INDICATOR
This LED will automatically illuminate whenever the CDP is decoding an
HDCD encoded recording, whether from the CD transport section or from
an external digital source.

16 RANDOM LED INDICATOR
By pressing rndm on the remote control, the CDP will enter a random play
mode in which the order of the current disc’s playlist is scrambled, and
then played. The random LED on the front panel will illuminate to indicate
this random play mode. Moreover, placing the CDP into random play
mode while the disc repeat function is engaged will cause it to play the
various tracks on the disc randomly indefinitely (until you stop it). This can
be a great way to provide background music during a dinner party, for example.
17 PROGRAM LED INDICATOR
The
program LED is used in conjunction with the program+ and program–
buttons to indicate those tracks that are either included in or excluded from
the current playlist. (See Programming the CDP for more information.)

to the CDP.
1 SINGLE-ENDED ANALOG OUTPUTS
These outputs provide single-ended analog audio (via cables equipped
with RCA-type connectors) to a preamplifier, integrated amplifier, or receiver
equipped with single-ended inputs. Most components accept this type of
output.
18
If you engage the volume control circuitry in the CDP, these outputs may be
routed directly to a power amplifier. This mode of operation is somewhat
less desirable sonically than using a high quality active preamplifier, but
may be advantageous under some circumstances.
Note: When you engage the volume control circuitry in the CDP, the
volume will initially be set to 00 as a safety measure to protect
your loudspeakers. You will need to raise the volume before
you will be able to hear any output from your CDP.
Page 19
If you choose to use the single-ended outputs of the CDP, connect its rightchannel and left-channel single-ended outputs to the corresponding inputs
on your preamplifier (or power amplifier if you are using the variable output mode of the CDP), using high quality single-ended interconnecting
cable such as Madrigal’s CZ Gel-2.
2 BALANCED ANALOG OUTPUTS
These outputs provide balanced analog audio (via cables equipped with
XLR-type connectors) to a preamplifier, integrated amplifier, or receiver
equipped with balanced inputs. Balanced interconnection between the CDP
and the component that follows it offers the best quality interconnection
and is highly recommended.
If you engage the volume control circuitry in the CDP, these outputs may be
routed directly to a power amplifier that accepts balanced inputs. This
mode of operation is less desirable sonically than using a high quality active preamplifier, but may be advantageous under some circumstances.
Note: When you engage the volume control circuitry in the CDP, the
volume will initially be set to 00 as a safety measure to protect
your loudspeakers. You will need to raise the volume before
you will be able to hear any output from your CDP.
The pin assignments of these XLR-type male outputs conform to the international AES standard, and are as follows:
Pin 1: Signal ground
12
3
Pin 2: Signal + (non-inverting)
Pin 3: Signal – (inverting)
Connector ground lug: chassis ground
Refer to your preamplifier’s operating manual to verify that the pin assignments of its input connectors correspond to the CDP. If not, wire the cable
so that the appropriate output pin connects to the equivalent input pin, or
reverse the leads of both your speaker cables to “reverse the reversal” and
restore correct polarity.
If you choose to use the balanced outputs of the CDP, connect its rightchannel and left-channel balanced outputs to the corresponding inputs on
your preamplifier (or power amplifier if you are using the variable output
mode of the CDP), using high quality balanced interconnecting cable such
as Madrigal’s CZ Gel-1.
3 DIGITAL OUTPUT
This output provides digital audio (via a 75Ω cable equipped with RCA-
type connectors) to the digital input of a DAT, CD-R, MD, DCC, or any other
component that accepts an S/PDIF electrical digital input. It automatically
sends a copy of the currently selected digital source’s datastream to the
connected device for recording or further digital processing. (The digital
output is unaffected by changes in the volume control circuitry of the CDP,
allowing you to adjust volume without affecting your digital recordings.)
19
Page 20
Connect the digital output of the CDP to the RCA input of your digital re-
corder using a high quality 75Ω cable such as Madrigal MDC-2.
4 EIAJ DIGITAL INPUT
This input accepts digital audio conforming to the EIAJ optical (sometimes
called “Toslink”) digital interface standard from the EIAJ digital output of a
digital FM tuner, compact disc player, laserdisc player, or digital audio recorder.
Connect the digital output of your digital source component to the EIAJ
input of the CDP using a high quality EIAJ optical cable. It is accessed by
pressing
display. (Pressing source repeatedly will cycle you from CD to In 1 to In 2,
and back to CD again.)
5 S/PDIF (RCA) DIGITAL INPUT
This input accepts digital audio conforming to the 75Ω S/PDI F digital inter-
face standard (via a cable equipped with RCA-type connectors) from the
digital output of a digital FM tuner, compact disc player, laserdisc player, or
digital audio recorder.
Connect the digital output of your digital source component to the RCA in-
put of the CDP using a high quality 75Ω cable such as Madrigal MDC-2. It
is accessed by pressing source on your remote control, and indicated by In
1
in the CDP display. (Pressing source repeatedly will cycle you from CD to
In 1 to In 2, and back to CD again. )

IR input tip polarity
6 REMOTE IR INPUT AND REMOTE TURN-ON OUTPUT
The CDP incorporates an infrared repeater input to facilitate a wide range
of installation options. If desired, the CDP may be placed inside a cabinet
or outside the normal line-of-sight in the listening area, with the controlling
IR signal being relayed to the CDP by any of a number of commerciallyavailable IR repeaters.
The specifications for this IR input call for a triggering voltage of 5-12 volts
at no more than 100 milliamperes of current, with the tip of the 1⁄8" miniplug having positive polarity, as below:
+–
5-12 volts @ less
than 100 mA
If you would like more information on the possibility of using an infrared
repeater with your CDP, please contact your Proceed dealer.
The CDP also includes a remote turn-on output trigger that can control a
Proceed power amplifier. If you choose to drive a Proceed AMP 2 directly
from the CDP (using the CDP’s adjustable output mode), connecting this
output with the matching input on the AMP 2 will allows you to turn both
units on or off from the CDP remote control’s standby button.
20
Page 21
This turn-on output uses a two conductor 1⁄8" mini-jack, as does the matching input on the power amp. They may be connected using any standard
wire fitting those requirements. (Very little current is used, so there is no
practical gauge requirement on the wire.)
7 AC POWER INPUT
This input accepts AC power from the AC mains (via the supplied AC
cable).
Warning! The CDP is set internally for 100, 120, 200, 220, or 240VAC mains
operation at either 50 or 60Hz. Make sure that the label on the
rear of the unit indicates the correct AC operating voltage
and frequency for your location before connecting it to AC
mains.
Connect the female end of this cable to the CDP. Connect the male end of
this cable to wall outlet or to an “unswitched” convenience outlet like those
found on some audio components.

The power consumption of the CDP is only about 25 watts. As such most
people will leave it on (or in standby) at all times. If you elect to place the
CDP on a switched outlet, we advise waiting at least five seconds between
power cycles to allow the normal power-up sequence to complete without
interruption.

The CDP’s Remote Control sends infrared (IR) commands through its projection lens, and the CDP receives IR commands through its Remote sensor
window. (See “Front Panel, CDP”). If either of these lenses is obstructed, no
IR commands can be received by the CDP. If you notice IR performance
deteriorating, you may want to clean these lenses with a soft cloth and
some glass cleaner. (Spray the cleaner on the cloth first, and then wipe the
lens with the moistened cloth. Do not spray the cleaner directly on
either lens, as this may allow moisture to migrate into the electronics behind the lens assemblies.)
2 TRANSPORT BUTTONS
The buttons used for routine operation of transport functions on the CDP
are grouped at the top of the remote control. They include:
( /dwr) stop/dwr: Press to stop play. The same button will operate
the drawer if stopping the disc has no relevance (e.g., if it is al-
ready stopped, or if there is no disc inside the CDP).
( / ) previous/rewind: When pressed and released quickly, this
will take you to the beginning of the current track; when pressed
repeatedly, this button will step you backwards through the previous tracks, one at a time. ( is the international symbol for previ-
ous). When pressed and held, the CDP will enter a reverse audible scanning mode similar to the familiar rewind function of
many cassette decks, allowing a precise location within a track to
be located. (Note that if you press prev/rew within two seconds
of the beginning of a track, the CDP will assume that you meant
to go further back and take you to the beginning of the previous
track rather than the current track.)
( / ) play/pause: Press to enter the play mode from either stop,
pause or standby. When in play mode, press to pause play in
the current location. If left in pause mode for more than two
minutes, the CDP will enter extended pause mode, shutting
down both the laser and the drive motors to enhance longevity
and reliability. Upon pressing pause or play a second time, the
disc will spin up and begin playing from the location where it
had been paused.
( / ) next/fast forward: When pressed and released quickly, this
will take you to the beginning of the next track. ( is the interna-
tional symbol for next). When pressed and held, the CDP will
enter a fast forward audible scanning mode similar to the familiar
fast forward function of many cassette decks, allowing a precise
location within a track to be located.
22
Page 23
3 NUMERIC KEYPAD
The numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 may be used to directly access individual track numbers of discs played by the CDP. For example, to go directly to track 13, press 1 followed by 3, and then press play. You do not
have to add a 0 before a single-digit track number: 7, followed by play, will
take you directly to track number 7. (In fact, if the CDP is already in play,
simply pressing the number button will be sufficient; pressing play while
playing engages
pause.)
The CDP displays a certain amount of intelligence with respect to direct
track access. If the first number entered identifies a particular track unambiguously (such as 2 on a 12-track disc), the CDP is “smart” enough to immediately move to that track. If the first number entered could be the first
of two digits (such as 1 on a 12-track disc), the CDP will wait for a moment
to determine whether you wish to enter a second number. If not, it will
then go to the single-digit track you selected.
These numbers may also be used in conjunction with other features, such
as programming and direct access by time. For example, when in the stop
mode, you may press 5 and press the prog – button to delete track 5 from
your playlist. In this case, the CDP would play that particular disc normally,
except that it would automatically skip from track 4 to track 6.
Selecting a particular track does not affect the operating mode. That is to
say, pressing 7 while in play begins playing track 7; pressing 4 while in
pause leaves you paused at the beginning of track 4.
4OTHER BUTTONS
The buttons used for programming and other functions on the CDP are
grouped beside and below the numeric keypad with which they will be
used. They include:
prog+: Press while the disc is stopped to add a selected track to
your programmed playlist (see Programming the CDP for more
information).
prog–: Press while the disc is stopped to delete a selected track
from your playlist, in “omission” programming (see Programming
the CDP for more information).
time: Pressing this button (followed by appropriate numbers from
the numeric keypad) allows direct access to any particular time
on a disc. Note that this is a context-sensitive control—the time
accessed will be according to the currently selected time
display mode, e.g., 30:00 with the time remaining and time on
disc
LEDs lit will take you to that point where thirty minutes re-
mains to the end of the disc.
polarity: Pressing this button toggles between non-inverted and in-
verted polarity during playback, indicated by a P and a –P, in the
round display, respectively. Either opening the drawer or changing
inputs will automatically reset the CDP to its normal, non-inverting polarity (although after cycling through the auxiliary inputs,
returning to the CD will restore its previously-chosen polarity).
disp off: Turns off the front panel display (except the standby and
mute LEDs) to facilitate listening in a darkened room with mini-
mal visual distractions. Pressing any key will cause the display to
turn on to indicate the change made; after a few seconds it will
turn off again.
23
Page 24
repeat: Press once to enter disc repeat mode (repeating the entire
disc, or an entire playlist if one is entered). This action will illuminate the disc repeat LED. Press a second time to enter the
track repeat mode (repeating a single track ad nauseam). A
third press will cycle you back to normal operation, as will pressing stop.
rpt a/b: Press once to establish a beginning point (point A) for an
endless playback loop. The display will flash to indicate that it is
ready to accept your designated ending point (point
B). Once
this has been done, the CDP will repeat the segment of the disc
between points A and B until you press rpt a/b agai n, or stop.
The display will continue to flash to remind you that the CDP is
in its repeat A/B mode. (Note that A must precede B on the disc;
if B precedes A, the A/B loop doesn’t make sense and will be
ignored.)
rndm: By pressing rndm on the remote control, the CDP will enter a
random play mode in which the order of the current disc’s play-
list is scrambled, and then played. The random LED on the front
panel will illuminate to indicate random play. Moreover, placing
the CDP into random play mode while the disc repeat function is
engaged will cause it to play the various tracks on the disc randomly indefinitely (until you stop it). This can be a great way to
provide background music during a dinner party, for example.
display: Pressing this button duplicates the function of pressing the
display button on the CDP, cycling through the four time modes
(time elapsed or time remaining, either on the track or on the
disc).
standby: Pressing this button places the CDP in standby, which turns
the display off, turns off all outputs, disables the front-panel controls, and closes the drawer (if open). The internal circuitry remains powered up in order to maintain its thermal stability and
optimum performance at all times.
5 DIGITAL PROCESSOR CONTROLS
These four buttons control the digital processor portion of the CDP.
source: Pressing this button switches between the various inputs of
the CDP (CD, Input 1 and Input 2). If the CD is playing, it will
stop two minutes after switching to either auxiliary input. If the
CDP senses an active digital source on any input, it will ramp the
volume down and up while changing sources. Pressing and hold-
ing this button will access the CDP balance feature (if in adjustable output mode); see Adjusting Balance, p. 29.
up: Pressing this button raises the volume (if you have elected to
use the variable output mode of the CDP during initial setup). It
may also be used to shift the image to the right when using the
CDP’s Balance control.
24
Page 25
mute: Pressing this button reduces the output level of the CDP by a
user-definable amount, and is indicated by the red mute LED
above the round display window. The amount of volume reduction can be changed by pressing and holding the mute button
until the display changes to show the current mute level (from
the factory, this will be “36” which corresponds to about -20 dB;
each step is equal to 0.55 dB). Once the display has changed to
show the current mute level, use the up or down buttons to increase/decrease the size of the change in volume effected by
pressing mute. (Example: changing “36” to “55” would result in a
30 dB change in volume when mute was pressed.)
down: Pressing this button lowers the volume (if you have elected to
use the variable output mode of the CDP during initial setup). It
may also be used to shift the image to the left when using the
CDP’s Balance control.
6 BATTERY COMPARTMENT
The two AA batteries used by the Remote Control must be placed inside
the compartment on the back of the remote’s housing (near the bottom).
Carefully remove the battery compartment cover and insert the batteries,
being careful to orient them as indicated inside the battery compartment.
Then replace the cover, clicking it into place.
Conditions that Affect
IR Performance
IR communication between the Remote Control and the CDP can be affected by:
• Direct sunlight
• Interior lighting
• Wall, window, ceiling, and floor treatments
• The angle of the Remote Control relative to the CDP
If the CDP will be subject to direct sunlight, place it no more than 10 feet from
where you’ll normally operate the Remote Control. Where bright sunlight virtually
floods the room, IR communication may be inconsistent.
In a room lighted primarily with incandescent fixtures, place the CDP no more
than 25-30 feet from where you’ll normally operate the Remote Control. In a
room with fluorescent fixtures, this range will be reduced. Where bright fluorescent lighting virtually floods the room, IR communication may be inconsistent.
IR, like visible light, reacts differently when it meets different surfaces. Carpeting
and draperies, for example, tend to diffuse (scatter) IR and interfere with its transmission. Glossy or reflective surfaces, such as mirrors and smooth walls, “bounce”
(reflect) IR and won’t interfere with its transmission. When placing the CDP, it’s
important to account for potential IR bounce and diffusion. For example, in a
room with thick carpeting, heavy draperies, and many pieces of furniture, you
may need to place the CDP closer to where you’ll normally operate the Remote
Control than you would in a sparsely furnished room with bare walls and hardwood flooring.
If possible, install the CDP directly opposite from where you’ll normally operate
the Remote Control. In practice, the Remote Control will operate the CDP at up to
30 degrees to either side of this direct line. To either side of this line, successful
IR communication will depend on bounce and ambient lighting. (Please refer to
diagram on next page.)

If the requirements of your installation preclude a clean line of sight between the
CDP and your listening position, you may want to consider using an infrared repeater to route the remote control’s commands directly to the CDP, using the external ir input on the rear panel. (See item #6 in Rear Panel, CDP.) Please ask
your dealer for more information on third-party IR repeaters.

Basic Operation
Before operating your CDP, take a minute to become familiar with its controls
and their locations. (See “Front Panel” and “Remote Control.”)
Loading a CD To load a CD:
1. Enable the CDP’s controls by pressing standby if in standby.
2. Press stop/drawer to open the drawer.
3. Place a CD into the recess of the drawer, label side up. Handle the
CD by the outer edges and center hole only.
4. Press stop/drawer.
Playing a CD To play all tracks on the CD, press the play/pause button. All tracks will play in
order. Play will stop automatically at the end of the CD.
To begin play with a track other than the first track:
1. Before pressing play/pause, press next until the number of the
desired track shows on the Display. If you pass the track you want
to play, you can “back up” by pressing prev. (You may also select
the track directly using the numbered buttons on the Remote Control.)
2. Press play/pause to begin playing that track. The remaining tracks
will play in order. Play will stop automatically at the end of the CD.
Pause To suspend play while a CD is playing, press play/pause. To resume play at the
same point, press play/pause again.
If left in pause for about two minutes, the transport will stop spinning automatically and the laser will turn off (thereby enhancing the longevity of both). Pressing play/pause again will resume play at the point where play/pause was first
pressed, after a short delay to find the correct starting point.
Random Play Using the Remote Control, you may have the CDP play tracks totally at random.
To do this, press the rndm key, then press play. The random LED will illuminate
to indicate the random play mode. To cancel random play, press rndm a second
time, or stop.
Navigating the Disc You may skip to another track any time while a CD is playing. To move to an-
other track, press next (to go forward) or prev (to go backward) until the number
of the track you want to play shows on the Display. (You may also select the track
using the numbered buttons on the Remote Control.) Play will resume as soon as
the pickup reaches that track.
You may search for a particular passage on the CD using fast forward and
rewind, by pressing and holding the next and prev buttons (respectively). Use the
reduced-volume audible scan available during these modes to search the CD until the laser pickup reaches the passage you want to hear.
27
Page 28
As soon as you release the button, play resumes. (Unless you had begun your
fast search in the stop mode, in which case the CDP will enter pause at your
chosen location, allowing you to cue up a particular point on the disc.)
If you search past the beginning or end of a track, the laser pickup will move on
to the previous (or next) track. If you try to search forward past the end of a CD
or program, the laser pickup will stop at the end of the last track. If you try to
search backward past the beginning of a CD or program, the laser pickup will
stop at the beginning of the first track of the disc (or playlist).
Direct Time Access You may use time on the Remote Control to begin play at a specific time on the
disc.
1. Select the desired track using either next and previous or the
numeric keypad on the Remote Control.
2. Press time, then press the numbered buttons corresponding to
when you would like play to begin. (The numbers you select will
appear in the time portion of the display.)
3. To begin play at that point, press play.
Note: The time you select depends on the selection you’ve made
with the display button: elapsed or remaining, CD or track.
For example, if you want to begin play one minute and thirty seconds into track
2, select track 2 by pressing 2 on the remote control. Press time, enter 1 3 0, then
press play. (This example assumes that the most recently used display mode was
elapsed time on track.) If you do not press play, the CDP will time-out after ten
seconds (that is, it will “forget” that you had begun to do something, and revert to
normal operation).
Alternatively, you might want to set the CDP to play music for a specific period of
time. Say you’d like to listen to music until the evening news begins in 30 minutes. Make sure both the time on disc and time remaining LEDs are on while
playing a disc (indicating time remaining on disc); press time; enter 3 0 0 0; and
press play. This sequence will direct the CDP to a point 30 minutes from the end
of the disc, and engage play at that point. When the music ends, you will know it
is time to turn on the news.
Repeat Disc To repeat (continuously) all tracks on a CD, press repeat until the disc repeat
LED is lit. To return to normal play, press repeat again two more times (to cycle
through track repeat to normal play). Pressing stop will also restore the CDP to
normal (non-repeating) operation.
Repeat Track To repeat (continuously) the track in (normal) play, press repeat twice (to cycle
through disc repeat to track repeat). While the track repeat function is active, the
LED above the button is lit.
This feature is helpful (for example) when trying to learn how to play a particular
song by playing along with the disc. To learn sections of the song, you may want
to use the Repeat A-B function described below. Once you have most of the sections learned, you can put them together with a track repeat.
28
Page 29
Track repeat takes priority over other functions such as next and previous. (Spe-
cifically, they will merely return play to the beginning of the repeating track.) To
return to normal operation, press repeat again.
A-B Repeat To repeat (continuously) a specific phrase or passage on a CD (when learning
how to play a favorite solo, for example), press rpt a/b on the remote at the beginning of the passage you would like to repeat. The display will blink while
continuing to play to indicate that the CDP is waiting for you to define the end of
your A–B loop. At the end of your chosen passage, press
rpt a/b on the remote
again. The passage you selected will repeat continuously. (Note that B must follow
A on the disc, or the A–B loop is not meaningful and will be ignored by the
CDP.)
To return to normal play, press the rpt a/b button again.
Adjusting Balance If you have elected to use the CDP’s volume control circuitry (see Customizing
the CDP), you may also adjust the relative balance between left and right chan-
nels. (Setting your CDP to a fixed output will automatically reset the balance control to its “centered” position.)
To adjust the balance on the CDP (assuming it is already in its “preamplifier”, or
volume controlled setting; see Customizing the CDP):
1 PRESS AND HOLD THE SOURCE BUTTON ON THE REMOTE CONTROL
The display will change to show bAL 00 when the balance mode is acti-
vated.
Fine adjustment of balance can only be made when sitting at the listening
position, and relatively few people ever bother; therefore it makes sense to
make balance a secondary function on the remote control, accessed by
pressing and holding a button normally used for something more common.
Think of pressing and holding a button as being like an emphatic press of
a button. In this case, you want to adjust the way a particular source
sounds, to correct for a balance problem. Hence, press and hold source.
2 ADJUST THE BALANCE WITH EITHER THE UP/DOWN OR THE PREV/NEXT
BUTTONS
Prev and next are associated with left and right by their arrows, and cause
the image to shift in the indicated direction. On the remote control, you
also have the option of using the up/down buttons (they are adjacent to
the source button, and more convenient), where up moves the image to the
right (in a “positive” direction). Remember that each step indicated in the
display represents a change of about 1⁄2 dB. At its maximum setting, the display will change to l.off to indicate that the left channel is now turned off
completely (leaving the image in the right speaker).
The CDP will “time-out” automatically after a few seconds of no further adjustments, returning to normal operation. Alternatively, you may press and
hold source again to leave the balance mode more quickly. The new balance setting is saved in nonvolatile memory, and will survive power outages.

Programming the CDP
Introduction to Playlists Rather than playing an entire CD, you may choose to play only certain selections.
To do this, you create a “playlist” for that particular CD. It may be used immediately upon being created, and will remain in memory until replaced by a different playlist.
Before using your CDP’s programming features, become familiar with its controls
and their locations, as well as their basic functions.
Note : During the playing of a playlist, the CDP’s basic functions
operate as described in “Basic Operation,” except that they affect
the playback of the program, not the entire CD. For instance, press-
ing
next during play skips to the next track in the playlist, whether
or not it is the next track on the CD. In the same way, engaging disc
repeat
The CDP allows up to 99 selections per playlist, with any given track appearing
once only. In practical terms, the only limitation on the length of your playlist is
the number of tracks on your disc.
will repeat the entire playlist, not the entire disc.
Important Note: Assembling a playlist is possible only when the disc is
stopped.
Assembling a Playlist To assemble a new playlist:
1. Load a CD, and wait for the display to show the number of tracks
and their total playing time.
2. Using the next and previous buttons (or the numbered buttons on
the Remote Control), select the first track in your playlist.
3. Add the first selection to your playlist by pressing program +. The
CDP will acknowledge your command by lighting the green pro-
gram LED
played has been added to the playlist.
4. Assemble the rest of your playlist by repeating steps 2 and 3. Make
sure to press program + after each selection.
Programming by Omission If you want to play most of a CD, and just “omit” a few tracks, you may want to
use this shortcut:
1. Load a CD, and wait for the display to show the number of tracks
and their total playing time.
2. Using the next and previous buttons (or the numbered buttons on
the Remote Control), select the first track you want to eliminate
from your program.
3. “Omit” the track by pressing program –. This action both places
the CDP in its program mode and deletes the track from the current playlist. The display will advance to the next available track
on the front panel to indicate that the track currently dis-
30
Page 31
remaining in the playlist. This next track will be shown with the
green program LED lit to indicate that it is still in the playlist.
4. Using next and previous, move to any other tracks you would prefer to skip, pressing program – to eliminate each track from the
playlist. Once you are in the program mode, the green
program LED will illuminate to indicate a track is in the playlist,
and extinguish for any track omitted from the playlist.
Reviewing a Playlist To review your playlist before playing it:
1. Assemble a playlist and press stop.
2. Without selecting any particular track (while the playlist’s total number of tracks and total playing time are displayed), press program +.
The display will show the first selection in your playlist.
3. To view the next selection, press program + again, and so on.
4. After you view the last selection, one more press of program + will
cause the display to “wrap around” to the first track in the playlist.
(Alternatively, you may use the next and prev buttons to step through all the
tracks, noting which tracks are included in the program by watching for the green
program LED.)

Adding a Track
to a Playlist
Temporarily Ignoring
a Program
You may delete any selection from a playlist. To delete a selection:
1. Pre ss stop after assembling a program.
2. Press next or previous until the selection you want to delete appears on the display (programmed tracks cause the program LED
to light green; non-programmed tracks extinguish it).
3. Pre ss program – ; the display will turn off the green program LED
to indicate that the current track has been removed from the playlist.
4. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each selection you want to remove from
your program.
You also may add a selection to the end of a previously assembled playlist.
1. From stop, using the next and previous (or the numbered buttons
on the Remote Control), select the track you want to add to your
playlist.
2. Add the selection to your playlist by pressing program +.
3. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each selection you want to add to your
program. Make sure to press program + after each selection.
If you have created a program for the current disc but would like to temporarily
override it and listen to the entire disc, press program – from stop. The program
LED
will extinguish to indicate the program has been overridden. Pressing pro-
gram+
will restore the program.
Erasing a Program If you have created a program for the current disc but would like to erase it from
memory, press and hold program – until EP (Erased Program) appears in the dis-
play, and the program LED is extinguished.

Customizing the CDP
The CDP offers three user options that modify the way it operates to accommodate individual tastes. These options are accessed through the User Setup menu,
and include enabling the CDP’s volume control circuitry, setting a user-definable
mute level, and enabling an autostandby function. The details of these options
are described below.
Navigating the
User Setup Menu
Operation with Fixed
or Adjustable Outputs
Getting into the User Setup menu is a simple matter of pressing and holding the
P+ button (think of it as an emphatic form of “programming” your CDP) until the
left portion of the display changes to indicate U1. You may then press P+ momentarily to cycle through the user options, U1, U2, and U3. Having selected the option you wish to change, you may then change the setting (shown in the round
display) by pressing the prev or next buttons, or the up/down buttons on the re-
mote control.
The CDP will “time-out” after about ten seconds, returning to normal operation;
alternatively, you can press and hold the P– button to exit more quickly.
As shipped from the factory, the CDP operates with a fixed line level output, as
do most CD players. Given that most people enjoy both analog and digital
sources, they should also have a volume control in the analog portion of their
system (namely, in their preamplifier). For this reason, the most sensible setup is
to use the CDP as a CD player and digital audio processor for one or two additional digital sources.
In a simple system consisting only of three or fewer digital sources, it is possible
to use the CDP as a combination CD player and digital preamplifier by enabling
its volume control circuitry. To do so:
32
Caution! When going from an adjustable output level to fixed, the
volume will return to a full line level, equivalent to 85 in the
adjustable mode of operation. If still connected to an
operating power amplifier, this will represent a potentially
dangerously high volume. Be sure to reconnect the CDP as a
CD player to a preamplifier with a reduced volume setting
before returning to a fixed volume setting.
1 PRESS AND HOLD P+ UNTIL THE LEFT DISPLAY SHOWS “U1”
This gets you into the User Setup menu (U1 stands for “User setting #1”).
You will see F in the round display to indicate the normal, fixed-output
mode of operation. If you were already in the volume-controlled preamplifier mode, the round display would show an A to indicate adjustable.
Page 33
2 PRESS THE “NEXT” BUTTON TO CHANGE THE OPTION
In this case, there are only two options: F (fixed output) and A (adjustable
output). Thus as you press next, the setting toggles between the two op-
tions. (You may also use prev, up or down.)
3 PRESS AND HOLD THE P+ BUTTON TO CONFIRM YOUR CHANGE
The CDP’s display will show
done when it has saved your choice to non-
volatile memory. You may either allow the CDP to time-out (return to normal operation), or press program + again to advance to user setting #2:
mute level (see next section).
Displaying Volume If you elect to use the CDP’s volume control (see Customizing the CDP),
you may change the default display in the round window from the track
number to the current volume setting by pressing and holding the display
button. (You may return to a default display of the track number by clicking
display again.) By default, the CDP will display the track number until ei-
ther the up or the down button is pressed; it will then display the volume
for four seconds (to allow you to see what you are doing). Once the volume is displayed, continued (or repeated) pressing of the up or down but-
tons will change the output level.
User-definable Mute Level The CDP also allows you to set your preference for mute level. That is to say, you
can determine yourself how large the change in volume will be when you press
mute on the remote control. The factory default is approximately -20 dB (deci-
bels), roughly 1⁄4 the perceived volume.
Incremental changes in volume occur in 0.55 dB steps throughout most of the
usable range. Thus, the default mute level setting is 36 (since 36 x 0.55dB = 19.8
dB); if you prefer more attenuation of the volume, for example, a setting of 55
would result in about a 30 dB attenuation (55 x 0.55dB = 30.25dB).
To change your mute level setting:
1 PRESS AND HOLD P+ UNTIL THE LEFT DISPLAY SHOWS “U1”
This gets you into the User Setup menu (U1 stands for “User setting #1”).
2 PRESS P+ MOMENTARILY TO ADVANCE TO “U2”
User Setting #2 is the for Mute Level. You will notice a number displayed in
the round display, corresponding to the change in volume outlined above.
(The factory default is 36, corresponding to about 20 decibels).
3 PRESS THE “PREV” OR “NEXT” BUTTON TO CHANGE THE MUTE LEVEL
In this case, you may select any amount of attenuation, from 0 (no effect) to
99 (fully muted). Each click of the prev or next button increments the mute
level setting by one digit, corresponding to a volume change of about 0.5
dB (through most of the range; the steps become larger at very low volumes). If you are using the remote control rather than the front panel to
make these changes, you may use either prev and next, or the up and
down buttons to effect changes.
33
Page 34
4 PRESS AND HOLD THE P+ BUTTON TO CONFIRM YOUR CHANGE
The CDP’s display will show done when it has saved your choice to nonvolatile memory. You may either allow the CDP to time-out (return to normal operation), or press program + again to advance to user setting #3:
autostandby (see next section).
Autostandby The CDP can be set to automatically enter standby after a period of inactivity.
Specifically, you may elect to have the CDP enter standby after 5, 15, 30, or 60
minutes without a signal (e.g., CD in stop, or pause, or extended pause, or lacking an active digital signal in one of the external digital inputs). You may also
elect to leave this autostandby feature in its default “off” setting (meaning that
the CDP will go into standby only when explicitly told to do so). To change your
autostandby preference:
1 PRESS AND HOLD P+ UNTIL THE LEFT DISPLAY SHOWS “U1”
This gets you into the User Setup menu (U1 stands for “User setting #1”).
2 PRESS P+ TWICE MORE TO ADVANCE TO “U3”
User Setting #3 is the for autostandby. You will notice either dashes or a
number displayed in the round display, corresponding to the number of
minutes selected (as shipped from the factory, you will see two dashes to
indicate autostandby off: --).
3 PRESS THE “PREV” OR “NEXT” BUTTON TO SELECT YOUR PREFERENCE
You may select autostandby off (--), or 5, 15 , 30, or 60 minutes. (Alternatively,
you may use up or down on the remote control.)
4 PRESS AND HOLD THE P+ BUTTON TO CONFIRM YOUR CHANGE
The CDP’s display will show done when it has saved your choice to nonvolatile memory. You may either allow the CDP to time-out (return to normal operation), or press program + again to return to user setting #1: fixed
or adjustable outputs.

Using Learning
Remote Controls
The CDP includes both an infrared receiver and an infrared transmitter. With this
capability, it can “teach” a learning remote control any commands that might be
needed for remote operation.
Specifically, the CDP can send all of the necessary IR commands from its display
window, enabling you to teach a learning remote any or all of its pre-programmed commands, as well as some optional special commands that are available to solve specific installation-related problems.
The CDP has two special modes of operation into which it may be placed in order to facilitate the “teaching” of remote control commands to a learning remote
control. The first allows you to easily teach the commands for which there are
corresponding front panel buttons. The second allows you to teach “special” commands to the remote control for which there are no corresponding front panel
buttons.
Teaching CDP Front
Panel Commands
1 PRESS AND HOLD THE REPEAT BUTTON TO ENTER THE FRONT PANEL
TEACHING MODE
The display will show L 0 to indicate that the CDP is ready to teach a learning remote control the infrared commands that correspond to its front
panel buttons. (The
numbers for special functions, about which you will read shortly. The “zero”
is used for any command for which there is a corresponding front panel
button.)
If you change your mind, simply don’t touch any button for ten seconds
and the CDP will return to normal operation. (Hint: you may remember
that this special “hidden” feature of the CDP is accessed via a press-andhold of the repeat button by associating its use with the external IR “repeaters” so often used in custom installations; the functionality found here
is of most value in such installations.)
2 PRESS ANY FRONT PANEL BUTTON TO CAUSE THE CDP TO SEND THE
CORRESPONDING IR COMMAND
Line up the IR window of your remote control with the left side of the CDP
display, at a distance of approximately 2"-6". Select the to-be-learned button
on the remote, then press the corresponding button on the CDP to fire the
appropriate IR code. A “decimal point” will light for a few seconds to indicate the firing of the IR code, thus showing . L 0 in the display.
L 0
stands for “Learn Zero;” there are other IR code
Most learning remotes need to be held fairly still while they learn new IR
commands; movement can garble the received IR. If you are uncertain as to
how to prepare your remote control for learning new commands, refer to
the instructions provided with the remote control.
35
Page 36
3 REPEAT THE PROCESS OF “TEACHING” NEW COMMANDS TO THE
VARIOUS BUTTONS ON YOUR REMOTE CONTROL UNTIL ALL
APPROPRIATE OR DESIRED FRONT PANEL COMMANDS HAVE BEEN
LEARNED BY YOUR REMOTE
4 WHEN FINISHED, EXIT THE TEACH IR MODE BY ALLOWING THE CDP TO
“TIME-OUT”
You may wish to teach your remote control some of the CDP’s special commands (those for which there is no corresponding front panel button); in
this case, you should go directly to the next section. Otherwise, simply
avoid pressing any buttons for about ten seconds, and the CDP will automatically return to normal operation.
At some point, however, you should test all your newly “learned” commands
to ensure that they were “learned” correctly.
Teaching Other
CDP Commands
As mentioned above, the CDP has the capability to teach learning remote controls commands for which there are no front panel counterparts, such as the numeric keypad functions. These commands can be especially helpful in solving
problems in certain kinds of custom installations.
These “positive control” commands in the CDP will place it into a certain mode
of operation regardless of its current state. For example, a positive control command to enter standby will leave the CDP in standby if already there, or switch it
to standby if it is currently operating. This type of positive control is especially
helpful when you do not necessarily know the current status of the CDP, as
might be the case in a multi-room home entertainment system (for example).
1 PLACE THE CDP IN ITS FRONT PANEL TEACHING MODE
As explained on the previous page, you do this by pressing and holding the
repeat button until the display reads L 0. If no further buttons are pressed
within approximately ten seconds, the CDP will “time out” and return to
normal operation.
2 RELEASE, THEN PRESS AND HOLD THE REPEAT BUTTON A SECOND TIME
TO PLACE THE CDP IN ITS CUSTOM IR MODE
After about three seconds, the display will change from L 0 to L 1. This indicates that the special IR codes that do not correspond to front-panel buttons are now available for teaching to a learning remote control—including
some that are designed to solve problems unique to custom installations.
36
3 PRESS THE PROGRAM + BUTTON REPEATEDLY TO ADVANCE TO THE
DESIRED FUNCTION
The table on the next page lists the various commands that are available for
the CDP for which there is no front-panel equivalent. In some cases, they
represent “positive control” alternatives to commands which normally toggle
between two settings (such as standby and operate). In other cases, they
represent functions which exist only on the remote control. In the second
column are the designations that will be displayed to indicate that the CDP
is ready to fire the corresponding IR code.
Pressing program + will advance you to the next command in the table;
pressing program – will back up to the previous command in the table.
Page 37
When the last item has been reached, pressing program + will return you
to the beginning of the table. If no button is pushed for more than ten seconds, the CDP will “time out” and return to normal operation.

CODE
Line up the IR window of your remote control with the left side of the display of the CDP, at a distance of approximately 2"-6". Select the to-belearned button on the remote, then fire the selected code from the CDP by
pressing repeat. (If you are uncertain as to how to prepare your remote con-
trol for learning new commands, refer to the instructions provided with the
remote control.)

If you take longer than approximately ten seconds between button pushes,
the CDP will time out and return to normal operation. If this occurs, return
to step #1 in this section. You may either cycle through the entire list by
pressing program + repeatedly, or move backwards through the list by
pressing
6 WHEN FINISHED, RETURN TO NORMAL OPERATION BY ALLOWING THE

Troubleshooting
In general, refer any service problems to your Proceed dealer. Before contacting
your dealer, however, check to see if the problem is listed here. If it is, try the
suggested solutions. If none of these solves the problem, contact your Proceed
dealer.
1. THE CDP WON’T FUNCTION, AND THE DISPLAY IS DARK.
✓ The CDP isn’t plugged into the AC mains.
✓ The
✓ The wall socket (or extension cord, if used) is faulty, or the wall
✓ A fuse is blown in your CDP (contact your Proceed dealer).
2. THE DISPLAY IS LIT, BUT THERE IS NO OUTPUT
✓ The proper digital input is not selected.
✓ The proper source isn’t selected on your preamplifier.
✓ The connecting cables are connected incorrectly or are faulty.
✓ The CDP is configured for adjustable output levels, and the vol-
power button has not been engaged.
socket has a tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse.
ume is set to an inaudible level such as 00 (as when first powered up in that mode).
3. THE CDP WON’T PLAY A CD INSERTED IN THE PLAYER.
✓ The CD is inserted upside down.
✓ There may be condensation (moisture) on the laser pickup. This
can happen if the CDP is moved from a cold environment (such
as a warehouse or a shipper’s truck) to a warm one. Plug in the
CDP, leave it on for one hour to warm up, then try playing a CD
again.
4. WHEN A CD IS PLAYING, THE SOUND "SKIPS."
✓ The CD is severely scratched or dirty.
✓ The CDP is on an unstable surface or is too close to your speakers.
5. THE REMOTE CONTROL DOESN’T OPERATE THE CDP.
✓ The Remote Control is at the wrong angle relative to the CDP, and
the CDP can’t receive the signal.
✓ The sensor window on the front panel of the CDP is dirty or
blocked.
✓ The Remote Control’s projection lens is dirty.
✓ Fluorescent lighting or sunlight is interfering with the operation
of the Remote Control.
✓ The Remote Control’s batteries need to be replaced.
✓ The Remote Control’s batteries are installed incorrectly.
6. THE UNIT IS OPERATING ERRATICALLY
✓ The microprocessor’s program may have been temporarily cor-
rupted by adverse power conditions or severe static shock. Cycling power off and on should reset it.
✓ The program itself may have been damaged. Press and hold the
stop/drawer button until the display changes to indicate the cur-
rent software version number and its checksum; then call your
dealer/distributor with this information.

Care and Maintenance
To remove dust from the cabinet of the CDP, use a feather duster. To remove dirt
and fingerprints, we recommend isopropyl alcohol and a soft cloth.
Caution! Always apply the isopropyl alcohol to the soft cloth and then
wipe the CDP with the dampened cloth. Never pour or spray
even small amounts of any liquid directly on the CDP, as
doing so may allow the liquid to reach the circuitry inside the
unit. Any liquid inside the unit poses a hazard to both the user
and to the unit, and must be avoided.
Make sure that the Remote sensor window on the front panel and the Remote
Control’s projection lens are kept clean and dust-free.
Fluorescent lighting and sunlight may interfere with the operation of the Remote
Control. Avoid placing the CDP near fluorescent lamps or in direct sunlight.
When the Remote Control’s batteries need to be replaced, use only AA batteries;
always replace both batteries at the same time. If you don’t plan to use the Remote Control often, remove the batteries. When not used for an extended period,
even “leakproof” batteries can leak corrosive acids that will damage the Remote
Control (and will void the warranty).
A CD, handled carefully, will last indefinitely. A warped, dusty, or scratched CD
can cause playback problems, including audible skipping or other noises. Handle
a CD by the outer edges only; if necessary, support it with your index finger at
the center hole.
When you’re finished playing a CD, always return it to its plastic case. Store your
CDs where they won’t be exposed to direct sunlight, high humidity, or extremely
high or low temperatures.
