BASIC FUNCTIONS AND SETTINGS
OPERATING THE APPLIANCE
Operation Button(s) Description
Switch on and off
POWER (1)
The amplifier is switched on and off using this button at the front panel.
When switched off the device is internally NOT separated from the AC
power and reacts to a “POWER CONTROL” (12) switching signal. As a
precaution, before switching on, the volume setting of your system’s pream-
plifier and the level of the headphones (34) should be reduced.
Change the level of the
analogue audio output
(10) at the rear panel
VOL + (31)
VOL – (32)
This function may only be activated with the remote control and only during
playback. This control is to allow the adaptation of the player to the system
(mainly the amplifier) and it must not be used to change the volume of the CD
player in daily use. It is sufficient for almost all amplifiers/receivers/preampli-
fiers to put the setting to the maximum and to leave it there. A different value is
only used if the CD player is much louder compared with the other sources at
the amplifier/receiver or it is distorted (clipping). Hold down the “VOL+” button
to raise the output level. Use the “VOL-” to reduce it. The two-figure value of the
volume appears in the display (3). The maximum signal level is reached with a
setting of 26 and the minimum is at 00.
Change the volume
level of connected
headphones (33)
LEVEL (34)
This function can only be operated on the front of the device. Turn the dial
“LEVEL” clockwise to increase the volume in the headphones and anticlock-
wise to reduce the volume. This volume control has no effect on the output
level of the “ANALOG OUTPUT” (10) on the back of the device.
Change the brightness
of the front panel
display
DIMMER
(15)
This function can only be operated using the associated front panel button.
When repeatedly pressed, the display (3) brightness is periodically reduced
(1x), switched off (2x) and restored to the original, maximum brightness (3x).
Many devices which can be controlled by a switching signal (not preamplifiers or integrated
amplifiers), have two terminals which do not differentiate between input and output. In this case
either of the two can be selected. Even some devices that transmit the switch signal (preamplifiers and
integrated preamplifiers) lack this marking. In this case it may be assumed that they both are signal
outputs.
“POWER CONTROL” sockets of preamplifiers or integrated amplifiers must not be interconnected! All
receiving devices must not be connected to more than one preamplifier or integrated amplifier (direct-
ly or indirectly)!
If a “POWER CONTROL” cable is connected to the back of the CD-S4 and the 12V switching signal
is given, the main amplifier can no longer be switched off with the “POWER” button. If the power con-
trol function is not desired, the switch signal cables must therefore be removed!
