In such a case, power off the unit. There may also be a case where noises are heard on the radio due to radio wave interference.

Dew condensation

In winter, be careful when carrying this unit from a cold place to a warm place or if the room temperature is suddenly raised by a heater or the like. The unit interior (operating blocks and lens) will have dew condensation on it. In such a condition, this unit cannot work properly and playback is impossible. Depending on the condition of dew condensation, if you leave the unit alone for one to two hours after turning it on in room temperature, the condensation becomes dry and playback will be possible.

Even in summer, dew condensation may occur if this unit is directly exposed to cool air from an air conditioner. In such a case, the installation place should be changed.

How to handle discs

• Do not use any deficient disc (with cracks, warp, etc.).
• Do not damage the signal surface of the disc or grime it.
• Do not place paper or a sticker on the disc. This can warp the disc and playback may become impossible. In many cases, rental discs carry labels and paste may protrude from under the label. Before use, check that the disc is free from protruding paste or the like.
• Do not play two discs at the same time.

How to store discs

• Always put your discs in cases, and store them vertically. Conditions such as high temperature, high humidity, exposure to direct sunlight, extremely low temperature are not suitable for storing discs.
• Read the caution notes carefully that are attached to discs.

Disc cleaning

• If a disc is dirty from fingerprints or dust, the sound quality may be deteriorated. Lightly wipe the disc with soft cloth, from the inside to outer periphery. (Refrain from wiping it along the circumference.)
• Do not use a volatile chemical such as benzine or thinner. Record spray, anti-static agents, and other such materials cannot be used either.
• When the disc seems to be very dirty, dip soft cloth in water, wring it well, and remove contaminants. Then, remove the moisture with dry cloth.

Odd-shaped disc

This unit cannot play back discs in specific shapes (heart-shaped, hexagonal, etc.). Do not use such discs as that may cause malfunctions.

Lens cleaning

If the lens is dusty, sound skips may occur. Please ask your dealer for cleaning the lens. Do not use any cleaning substance for discs available on the market because they may hurt the lens.

Digital input selection switch (DIGITAL IN)

Press this switch when using this unit as a D/A converter.

1. Each time the DIGITAL IN switch is pressed, the display changes as follows. COAXIAL→OPTICAL→USB→INTERNAL (Internal player)

The coaxial and optical inputs support the following signals.

Sampling frequency : 32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz,

88.2kHz, 96kHz, 176.4kHz,

192kHz

Number of quantization bits : 16bit, 20bit, 24bit

The USB input supports to the following signals.

- PCM signal

Sampling frequency : 32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz,

88.2kHz, 96kHz, 176.4kHz,

192kHz

Number of quantization bits : 16bit, 24bit, 32bit

• DSD signal

Sampling frequency : 2.8224MHz, 5.6448MHz

Number of quantization bits : 1bit

When the OS is Windows, the dedicated driver software needs to be installed.

Read the software installation manual provided with this unit.

2. The selected input type and sampling status are displayed on the main unit display window.

This sampling frequency and bit count of the digital signal are displayed, which is connected to the input terminal (COAX/OPT/USB) selected with the digital input selection switch. When one of COAX/OPTICAL/USB is selected by the digital input selection switch and the digital signal from each digital device and this unit are synchronized, the sampling frequency and bit count of the digital signal are displayed.

When a digital signal input is not provided or the signal is not synchronized even if the signal input is provided, "UNLOCK" is displayed.

When USB is selected, only the sampling frequency is displayed. The bit count is not displayed.

- The bit count (word length) indicates the contents of the word length data included in the channel status which is specified in IEC60958-3 (digital audio interface - Part 3: consumer applications).

Some output devices may provide channel status data (word length data) whose content is different from the actual word length. In such a case, the contents of the channel status data are indicated on the display instead of the actual bit count.

Alternatively, some devices or sources may provide the data that states "the word length is not specified". In such a case, the bit count is not displayed.

- There may be a case where the display indicates "LOCK" shortly, and then "UNLOCK". (The reverse case is also possible.) That is because the former state (LOCK/UNLOCK) is indicated for approx. 0.5 seconds since an input signal is changed until the circuit gets stable.

Detailed Settings
