Make sure the white plugs are connected to the left (L) jacks and the red plugs to the right (R) jacks. • Do not connect the changer to the amplifier's PHONO jacks, as sound will be distorted and normal playback will not be possible. 2 Connect the power cord to an AC wall outlet, making sure the plug is inserted fully. Note: If you connect the power cord to a "SWITCHED" AC outlet on an amplifier, you will not be able to use the changer's memory function. B Connecting the Optical Fiber Cable Cautions: • Insert the optical fiber cable plugs all the way into the jacks. • Do not to fold or crimp the cable. When coiling an optical fiber cable for storage, make sure the diameter of the coil is 5-7/8 inches (15 cm) or larger. • Use an optical fiber cable with a length of 10 feet (3 m) or less. • Protect the optical fiber cable plugs from scratches and dust. • When the changer is not connected using an optical fiber cable, be sure to keep the protective dust cap More than 5-7/8 inches (15 cm) plugged into the optical digital output jack at all times. 6 A-2 Power Cord Connect the changer to an amplifier equipped with an optical digital jack. 1. Remove the protective dust cap from the changer's OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT jack. 2. Use an optical fiber cable (not supplied, available at your local RadioShack store) to connect the changer's OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT to the amplifier's optical input jack. • Align the optical fiber cable plug with the optical digital jack and fully insert the plug. C System remote control with a stereo amplifier that has the OSR mark With a stereo amplifier bearing the OSR mark, connect the CONTROL IN jack on the CD changer's rear panel to the amplifier's CONTROL OUT jack. This lets you control the CD changer's Play, Stop, Pause, Track/Disc Search and Disc Change functions using the amplifier's remote control. Notes: • For instructions regarding connections and operation, refer to the operating instructions provided with your stereo amplifier. • When a control cable is connected to the changer's CONTROL IN jack, direct control of the changer with the remote control is not possible. Operate the changer with the remote control by aiming it at the amplifier. • Be sure to connect both of the control cable's plugs securely to the CONTROL IN and CONTROL OUT jacks. • Be sure to turn off the power of the amplifier before connecting the power cord and output cable. • When only the digital output is connected, the remote sensor of the amplifier does not function. To operate it, connect the output cable to the stereo amplifier as well as connecting the digital output.
