chance of momentary electrical surges disturbing your system.
2. Set the power switch on the rear of the unit to the OFF position, aach the power cord and connect it to your
electrical outlet. (e OFF position is selected when the “O” symbol on the switch is depressed.)
3. Connect the analog outputs of the Cantata Music Center to your preamplier or amplier. e Cantata Music
Center is designed to connect to any preamplier or amplier directly using RCA or XLR interconnects.
4. Turn on the main power switch on the rear panel of the Cantata Music Center. (e ON position is selected
when the “I” symbol on the switch is depressed.) e Cantata will begin in low-power standby mode. Press
the standby buon on either the front panel or the remote control. e Cantata Music Center will take a few
seconds to initialize and read the disc if present. Volume level is initially set to a low level (30).
5. Turn on the rest of your system. It is a good habit to turn the amplier on last, and o rst, to prevent surges
and transients from reaching your loudspeakers.
6. Insert a CD and press Play, or select an external input via the remote or front panel.
7. Adjust the volume. If you are using a preamplier, we recommend seing the level to maximum (100). e
volume seing can also be used to match the level of the Cantata Music Center to other source components,
in order to minimize the dierence when switching sources.
