12 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

Installation and Connections

Important Note: To prevent possible damage

to your speakers or other components in your

audio system, we strongly recommend that ALL

system components, including the CDR 30, be

turned off completely when any connections are

made or a new component is installed.

Locating the CDR 30

Since the CD transports in the CDR 30 are preci-

sion instruments, they are subject to interference

from vibration.To minimize the possibility of

skipping during playback or recording, it is rec-

ommended that the unit be placed on a level,

solid, vibration-free surface.

When installing the CDR 30 in a cabinet or tight

space, always make certain that there is enough

room in front of the unit for the disc drawers to

open fully, and that there is enough space above

the unit so that discs may easily be inserted in

the disc drawers.

In addition to the safety considerations outlined

on page 4, it is also recommended that the CDR

30 not be placed in a location that is subject to

direct sunlight or extreme heat or cold, as these

conditions may damage the discs used in the

player, or the player itself. Note that audio ampli-

fiers or high-power receivers, as well as certain

other electronic products, may generate signifi-

cant heat. For that reason, do not place the CDR

30 directly on top of an amplifier, receiver, or

other heat source.Always allow at least 2 cm of

free space on all sides of the CDR 30, as well as

other electronic products, to allow for proper

ventilation.

The unit should also be kept away from sources

of water or damp conditions.

Connections to Your Audio System

When connecting the CDR 30, think of the

process as if your were connecting a standard

CD player and a tape or cassette recorder, with

the addition of the digital connections.

Play-Deck Connections

The rear panel connections

¡¢ª

labeled

“CDP” refer to the outputs of the Play Deck

, which functions as a standard CD player.

Connect the analog left/right CDP outputs

to the CD inputs on your receiver, preamp or sur-

round processor.

For best playback results, a digital connection is

recommended, using the coaxial

or optical

outputs. Connect them to the matching digi-

tal inputs of your receiver, preamp, processor or

external digital decoder.

Note that you may have to change a setting on

the receiver or processor to link the digital input

to the “CD” button or input selector. Consult the

owner’s manual on that device for details, as this

configuration may vary from unit to unit.

Record-Deck Connections

The rear panel connections

™£∞§¶•

labeled “CDR” refer to the inputs and outputs

for the Record Deck

. Depending on the

capabilities of your receiver, preamp or proces-

sor, you may find it convenient to connect the

analog inputs and outputs to the jacks marked

for a tape recorder.As the CDR 30’s functions

resemble those of a standard tape recorder, this

might make it easier to select it as an input on

your receiver or preamp. Connect the analog

CDR-Out jacks

™

to the Play/In jacks of a Tape

input on your receiver or preamp. Connect the

CDR-In jacks

to the Tape Rec/Out jacks on

your receiver or preamp.

To play the output of the Record Deck through

the digital decoder in your receiver or an exter-

nal processor, connect the CDR Coax

∞

Optical

•

digital outputs jacks to the match-

ing digital-input jacks on your receiver or proces-

sor. Note that you may have to change a setting

on the receiver or processor to link the digital

input to the “Tape” button or the specific input

selector associated with the digital inputs.

Consult the owner’s manual on your receiver or

processor for details, as this configuration may

vary from unit to unit.

To make recordings from external digital

sources, such as a CD, DVD or MD player, con-

nect the CDR Coax-In jacks

or CDR

Optical In Jacks

on the CDR to the

appropriate digital output jacks on your receiver

or processor. If your receiver does not have digi-

tal-output jacks, you may connect the CDR

Coax In jacks

or CDR Optical In Jacks

on the CDR 30 directly to the matching

digital output on your CD player or other digital

device from which you’d like to make recordings.

Connections to a portable digital CD or MD

player may also be made by connecting the

Coax or Optical Digital Output of the player to

the matching Front Panel Digital Input Jack

on the CDR 30.

IMPORTANT NOTES ON DIGITAL

CONNECTIONS:

Coax Connections: Although digital-coax con-

nections use the same type of “RCA” phono jack

as standard analog signals, please take special

care to connect digital signals only to digital

jacks. In many cases, the digital jacks may be

identified by an orange colored insert ring

around the center of the jack. When making dig-

ital connections, be sure to use coax-intercon-

nect cables, such as the one supplied with the

CDR 30 or cables intended for video applica-

tions. Even though they have the correct type of

RCA connector, do not use audio-interconnect

cables that have twisted pair construction, as

they are not appropriate for digital signal use. If

you have any questions about the type of cables

to use with the CDR 30, consult your dealer.

Optical Connections: To ensure proper con-

nection of optical cables, fully insert them into

the jack until there is an audible click. This tells

you that the connector has been completely

inserted. Remember to save the plastic dust caps

that cover the optical jacks, and replace them

when a jack is not in use to prevent dust from

entering the connection point.
