1. Preface
Dear TRIGON - customer,
Thank you for choosing the CD Player RECALL II. This device was manufactured utilizing
the strictest production controls and the latest precision technology.
Even if you are familiar with the use of HiFi devices, you should study this operation
manual carefully and confirm your understanding of the instructions, which are contained
therein.
Please keep this instruction manual, because it can serve as an aid in handling your CD
Player in the future.
The TRIGON - team wishes you lots of fun with your new CD Player.
2. General technical manual
The
Recall II
is a CD-Player, where outstanding tonal quality meets a design and set
of features that conform to high-end demands.
This is exemplified by a high-quality drive – whose loader is guided by side stainless-steel
push rods – that ensures that there is no loss of (digital) musical information from the
start of playback onward. The digital signal is then passed on to a state-of-the-art 24-Bit
serial converter with a 192-KHz sampling frequency from Burr Brown, which converts it
into an analog signal.
The drive oscillator clocks the entire digital audio, so that clock-jitter is kept to a minimum.
The steep roll-off slope of the output filter effectively prevents any aliasing of the playback
signal.
The power is supplied by a specifically developed switched mode power supply, which
provides the CD-player with a steady flow of power – even with large fluctuations in
voltage - and eliminates the sound altering effects of electricity.
The 2mm strong steel-sheet casing is lined internally partially with absorption mats, so that
microphonic effects are kept from the sensitive electronics. The TRIGON suspension
absorber feet - whose principle of operation corresponds to that of a Belleville washer –
round off a systematic approach to prevent sound distortions through microphonic effects.
The wide range of media in use today doesn’t pose a problem for the
Recall II’s
high-quality technology and its audio-optimized drive: The
Recall II
is able to play
CD-Rs and CD-RWs. These should be of good quality, otherwise “dropouts“ may occur
during playback.
The
Recall II
is completely microprocessor controlled. It is possible to operate the
player itself directly (not all functions) as well as via IR-remote control
(Trigon
Director)
. The clearly laid out display – which can be dimmed and turned off by the
Director
- shows the current operating state. The
Director
can also turn the CD-
player on and off.
2.1 Safety notices.
TRIGON ELEKTRONIK
assumes no liability for damage, which result from
inappropriate handling and/or disregard for the following safety instructions.
The CD-player may not be placed close to strong heat sources such as heating elements,
furnaces, high-powered lamps, open fires, etc.
The CD-player may not be exposed to strong impacts and vibrations.
The CD-player may not be connected to the power outlet immediate after being brought
from a cold environment to a warm one. Condensation could damage the device. Wait a
few minutes until the device is warmed up to room temperature.
The CD-player should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
Please ensure that the device gets sufficient ventilation at its installation location.
Don’t pour fluid on the CD-player; the inside of the device must remain dry.
Never activate the device without having the protective casing in place.
Always remove the power plug from the socket before opening the device.
Never bridge the fuse. Please replace a defective fuse only with an original fuse of the
same type and rating.
Never attempt repairs on your own. Only authorized, properly trained technical personnel
may undertake any maintenance and/or repair. Any damage that results from improper
handling or unauthorized repair attempts will void any possible warranty claim.
Please always turn off your system’s device before changing and/or attaching cables.
The
RECALL II
can operate at a voltage between 180V and 250V, 230V is the
average. If another voltage is required, please contact your dealer or
TRIGON,
so that
the device can be retrofitted.
2.2 Set-up Recommendations
After unpacking the unit, examine the device first for possible transport damage. If you
should determine damage has occurred, then immediately contact your dealer. Next,
examine the contents of the container to ensure all components are present. You should
find, addition to the
RECALL II,
the following:
- Mains cable
TRIGON VOLT
- IR remote control
DIRECTOR
- Operating instructions
RECALL II
- Warranty requirement certificate
Set up the device horizontally in a dry place. Ensure good ventilation. Strong magnetic
scattering fields, which are caused by output stage transformers and halogen light
transformers, can lead to stray humming effects. Therefore set up the CD Player some
distance from such devices. Also, do not lay the cable connections parallel to the lighting
leads.
Stray humming effects are also produced from fluorescent lamps, so keep a minimum
distance of approximately 1m. Avoid direct sunlight and don’t set up the
RECALL II
close to strong heat sources.
2.3 Guarantees and Service
The
RECALL II
is a high-quality and sophisticated product. We at
TRIGON
try to
ensure the demands made of a
TRIGON
-product are met via numerous quality tests
and strict goods control. If a problem should however occur, then
TRIGON
ELEKTRONIK GmbH
grants a 3-years warranty. The warranty includes the repair
of the defective part as well as any labor charges. This is the limit of liability.
The warranty excludes any damage which resulted from inappropriate installation,
incorrect operation or repairs through unauthorized specialist dealers and private
individuals. Further the warranty is void with disguised serial numbers as well as when
damage occurs as a result of accident or transport damages.
3. Start-up
After unpacking the CD Players, we recommend you first connect and switch on the device
with electricity to the un it only, without having first connected it to other devices.
After a short switching on phase (the operating display LED [ 5 ] flashes) you hear a low
clicking of a relay. The
RECALL II
is now ready for use. You should now make
yourself somewhat familiar with the controls and the female connectors.

[ 1 ] CD Drawer:
Insert the CD here. The CD is to be inserted with the inscription side facing up and the
data side facing downward.
Note: Often we already observed that customers “jiggle“ at the opened drawer, in order to derive the quality from the drawer fetch.
Notice: A certain fetch must be present, so that the drawer doesn’t block itself between the opening and closing, i.e. this fetch is
necessary and intended.
[ 2 ] LED Display Title Number
This display indicates the number of titles detected on the CD. Then the actual title
number is indicated. This display expires if total play time and total remainder play time
were shown in the indicator mode.
[ 3 a ] LED Display PROGRAM
This display lights up, if you have switched on the programming mode.
(More on this mode further down)
[ 3 b ] LED Display REPEAT
This display lights up, if the repetition function was switched on with the remote control.
The entire CD will be repeated, if the programming mode isn’t programmed differently,
until the REPEAT-mode is switched off again, the rendition is stopped or the CD drawer is
opened.
[ 4 ] LED Display Title Time
This four-digit display can be adjusted with the remote control and/or the MODE-key [ 11 ]
to four different time indicator modes.
Mode 1: Already played title time, e.g. 2:45
Mode 2: Total remainder-rendering time, e.g. –63:37
Mode 3: Title remainder-rendering time, e.g. –5:23
Mode 4: Already played total rendering time, e.g. 34:52
[ 5 ] Operational status indicator LED
After switching on the CD Player this LED flashes for a few seconds, until the RECALL
RECALLRECALL

stabilized its internal operating voltages. As soon as the LED is constantly, the CD Player
is ready for use.
[ 6 ] Key OPEN
The CD drawer can be opened and closed by pressing this key. Every time you press this
key, the OPEN-LED light briefly shines more brightly.
[ 7 ] Key < < < (title return and fast search return)
This key has two functions. The scanning laser jumps to the title beginning of the
momentary shown title by briefly pressing the key. The laser will be brought to the previous
title by pressing the key two times. Long pressing of the key arranges the return search
where the signal can be listened to sequentially.
The LED over the key shines more brightly, as long as the key is pressed.
[ 8 ] Key > > > (title jump forward and fast search advance)
This key has two functions. The scanning laser jumps to the next title by briefly pressing
the key. The advance search will be started by holding down the key, where the signal can
be listened to sequentially.
The LED over the key shines more brightly, as long as the key is pressed.
[ 9 ] Key START
If there is an audio-CD in the
RECALL II
, the CD player can be started by pressing
this key. Now the START-LED shines more brightly. By pressing the START-Button during
the rendering procedure the Break-Function is switched on. Now the START-LED flashes.
Pressing again on the start button solves the break, the starting LED shines again
constantly and the device is again in the run mode.
[ 10 ] Key STOP
If you want to break off the rendering procedure, you can do that by depressing the key
STOP. The LED STOP will shine more brightly.
[ 11 ] Key MODE
The four different time modes can be selected with this key. For further information see
number [ 4 ].
[ 12 ] Power switch
The
RECALL II
can be switched on and/or off with this switch. The mains voltage is
directly powered, i.e., the
RECALL II
doesn’t use any electricity when switched off.
3.2 The Connections on the Back
[ 13 ] Power Connector, Power Switch and Power Protection
The enclosed high-quality mains cable Volt will be inserted into the socket. Please pay
attention to the mark (red point) and insert the plug into the electrical outlet of multiway
connector so that the red mark lines up with the power phase. You can spot the power
phase with the help of a simple mains tester. The red mark should square to that contact
of the electrical outlet, where the mains tester lights up. This kind of “outphasing“ improves
the rendition and should be utilized for all components of a system as well.
The power connection is turned on by the toggle switch. If necessary, replace the fuse
only with a fuse of the same value. The mains plug must be pulled out, before the fuses
are exchanged.
[ 14 and 15 ] Cinch Exit
This output plug is connected with the input plug of the rendition amplifier. These
entrances are usually designated at the amplifier with CD, AUX or LINE INPUT.
(Please take note of the operating instructions of your amplifier)
[ 16 and 17 ] Symmetrical Exit
This output plug is connected with a symmetrical input plug of the rendition amplifier.
These entrances are usually designated at the amplifier with CD, AUX or LINE INPUT.
(Please take note of the operating instructions of your amplifier)
If your amplifier has a symmetrical input plug, then this entrance is preferred, because
possible interspersed external signals on the cable connection extinguish themselves so
again.
[ 18 ] Digital Output
A separate digital-analogue transducer can be attached at this BNC socket. Please make
sure that you attach and adjust the provided HF-terminal resistance to this socket, if you
don’t use this exit. This avoids radiating uncontrolled high frequency signals with this exit,
such as with a radio station, where it is possible that sensitive high frequency devices like
your UKW-Tuner or television could be disturbed.

4. What to do, if...
In this chapter we want to give you a few hints, which will help to resolve smaller problems.
4.1 ... nothing works?
Is the power supply plug inserted correctly? - Put the power supply plugs firmly into the
plug socket.
Does the mains voltage rest against the used main plug socket, or has the home fuse
maybe reacted? – Examine the home fuse.
Did the internal micro fuse burn through? – Return the device back for service.
4.2 ... one hears nothing?
Is the correct entrance at the amplifier selected? - Select the correct entrance.
Does the
RECALL II
supply at all a signal? – Attach the
RECALL II
to another
entrance and examine if it functions. If this is the case, something is wrong with the other
entrance of the amplifier. - Examine the entrance of the preamplifier.
Was a computer data CD inadvertently inserted? – Insert an audio CD.
Did the
RECALL II
read the CD correctly? – If the player cannot read the CD, it tries
to read the data in anyway. If it isn’t successful, the message “NO disc or 00 0000”appears
in the display. The CD is either defective or badly scratched and/or dirty. - Use a new CD.
4.3 ... it hums?
Are the connecting cables tight and firmly put in? – Examine connection leads.
Sometimes multiple groundings can cause so-called humming loops. This problem
requires an experienced technician. We recommend you to contact your specialist dealer.
... It hums only, if the tuner, the video recorder, or the television is connected to the
preamplifier. - All these devices are connected with a grounded antenna. Thus it causes a
humming loop again, which can be simply eliminated, in this case simply with a fan-jet
filter, which is switched into the antenna inlet. Such fan-jet filters are available
inexpensively in radio and television speciality shops.
4.4 ... the remote control doesn’t operate?
Does the remote control operate in the preamplifier mode? – Press the key on the
remote control. The LED will shine. The remote control is activated now for the
RECALL II
.
Are the batteries dead? - Insert new batteries.
Is there too much distance? - Reduce the distance. The IR remote control has a limited
range. The IR remote control will operate at a distance of up to eight metes with fully
charged batteries, depending upon exposure to sunlight.
If the receiver probe is exposed to bright sunlight, the range decreases. – Avoid direct
sunlight.
