1. Basic information about the CD3.2 / 5.2 1.1 Mechanical construction The case is fully made of steel. This material acts as a shield and protects drive and circuitry against interferences from external magnetical and electrical fields. The audio-connectors are all gold plated to minimize electrical losses and provide long lasting perfect contacts. 1.2 Power supply Drive and digitalaudio circuitry have each a powersupply of their own: Two toroidal transformers together with nearly 30.
The characteristic of this noise is that it has an energy which depends on the resolution used to quantize the original signal and which is continuously spread over the whole range of the sampling frequency bandwidth. It is obvious that this noise can mask fine details of the originally recorded music. For physical reasons it is not possible to avoid quantization noise. Also a reduction of the total noise energy is not possible because the noise has been created when the signal was recorded.
2. Control elements and connectors 2.1 EVOLUTION CD3.2 / 5.2 overview The numbers in the drawings below mark the control elements. They refer to the numbers in the text, where the operation of the unit is described. As the control elements and connectors for CD 3.2 and CD 5.2 are identical only front and rear panel of CD3.2 is shown. Front panel 1 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
2.3 Installation and cooling The player doesn’t produce much heat. You can put it in a rack as well as in a closet. Direct exposure to sunlight is not recommended because this will heat up the unit. 2.4 Connection to mains Connect the unit to the mains outlet by using the power cord which is (in some countries) delivered together with the unit. Make sure that mains voltage is according to the value printed on the rear panel of the amp (near mains connector).
3. Basic operation 3.1 Switching on / standby Using the button power (1) You can switch between on (operate) and stand by. In the on state the display (8) lights up and the LED (7) is off. In stand by mode the display (38) is off and the LED is on to indicate that the unit is still connected to mains. CAUTION: When switched to stand by the unit is still connected to mains.
3.4 Playable disc formats The CD3.2 / 5.2 can play all compact discs which are recorded according to the red book standard (means the standards for audio CDs established by PHILIPS and SONY). Furthermore all CDRs and CDR/Ws with good reflection recorded according to this standard are playable. Most copy protected discs are also playable. But we cannot take responsibility that all future copy protection systems are playable. 3.
3.8 Random play Press PROG (4) and after that PAUSE (11). Now a random playlist will be generated. Deleting a random playlist: Press PROG (4) and after that STOP (10). and the playlist is deleted. 3.9 Select input The CD3.2 / 5.2 have up to seven digital inputs. They can be selected using the < and > buttons (2, 3). NOTE: This works only while the FILTER function (see 3.10) is NOT active. While one of the digital inputs is selected, it's signal is played.
4. Personal setup Several settings can be done in the personal setup To access the personal setup switch the unit to standby (power button (1)). Then press and hold the PROG key (4). While holding that key switch the unit on (power button (1)). The display now will show "**personal setup***". Release the PROG button (4) and the unit is in personal setup mode. When the personal setup is active you can select the desired function using the buttons < and > (2, 3).
5. Reset This function cancels certain or all settings and makes the unit return to default settings. To access the reset menu switch the unit to standby (power button (1)). Then press and hold the STOP (10) AND REPAET key (6). While holding that key switch the unit on (power button (1)). The display now will show the reset menu. Release the buttons. Press PLAY (12) for a complete reset, PAUSE (11) to reset only the names or STOP (10) to exit without resetting. 6. Remote control The CD3.2 / 5.
8. If something doesn’t work....... Some putative defects are often caused by mistakes in operation. Sometimes other units connected to the unit can cause problems. Therefore please read the following tips before You consult Your dealer or us. Disc is inserted, but the CD is not recognized. Display shows "no disc" or "no audiodisc" • • • The CD may be inserted upside down or the surface has to be cleaned.
