USER MANUAL CDS2100 YAMAHA
A Living Tradition in Sound
A piano comes into this world through the perfect synergy of advanced technical skill and artistry. Such a piano can create sound that truly reflects the player's feelings.
The final stage in piano production is called "voicing". It is here that the instrument is given its soul.
A highly skilled expert concentrates his mind and sensitivity on the sound of each key, finely adjusting the dynamic feel of the hammers, bringing the tone and vibrancy of all 88 keys together perfectly; a truly stunning achievement.
It is a quality of sound that can only be determined by an astute, sensitive ear. We apply this very same concept to the manufacture of our audio products. The technician performs exhaustive listening tests and every component is considered, in order to finally achieve the ideal sound.
Yamaha's tradition of audio quality stretches back over 125 years, and continues to live on in all Yamaha products today.

Setting the DPLL (Digital Phased Lock Loop) bandwidth
The audio DAC (ES9016) of this unit employs DPLL to generate accurate clock signals synchronized with the clock of the input digital audio signal. The 7-step DPLL bandwidth setting gives the unit tolerance for fluctuation of the clock of the input digital signal and adjustment of the accuracy of the operating clock in the DAC.
1Press SOURCE to select the audio source to be played back.
The DPLL bandwidth can be set for each audio source, respectively.
2Within 5 seconds after selecting the audio source, press ENTER.
The unit enters the setting mode, and the DPLL bandwidth currently set appears on the information display.
3Select the DPLL bandwidth using the (pause) key and the stop) key.
Each time the pause) key is pressed, the bandwidth changes in the following order. If you press the stop) key, it changes in reverse order.

4Press ENTER.
The setting value flashes for 3 seconds, then the unit resumes to normal mode.
To cancel the setting, press CLEAR.
Notes
- As the DPLL bandwidth setting value approaches "Lowest," the accuracy of the operating clock in the DAC improves, but the unit may be susceptible to a change in the clock of the external component. The sound from such a component may more easily skip.
- As the DPLL bandwidth setting value approaches "Highest," the accuracy of the operating clock in the DAC deteriorates, but the unit is far less susceptible to a change in the clock of the external component, and the sound from such a component hardly skips.

■Handling compact discs
- Always handle a disc with care so that its surface is not scratched.

- Compact discs are rarely worn out during playback, but damage to the disc surface when the disc is being handled can adversely affect the disc playback.
- Be sure to use a felt-tip pen or similar writing tool when writing on the label side of a disc. Do not use a ball-point pen, pencil, or other hard-tipped writing tools as these may damage the disc and may adversely affect the disc playback.
- Do not warp discs.
- When a disc is not currently being used, remove it from this unit and store it in an appropriate case.
- When removing or storing a disc, be careful not to scratch the playing surface.
- Compact discs are not affected by small particles of dust or fingerprints on their playing surface, but even so they must be kept clean. Wipe the disc surface with a clean, cry cloth. Do not wipe the disc surface with a circular motion; wipe it straight outward from the center.

- Do not try to clean the disc surface with any type of disc cleaner, record spray, anti-static spray or liquid, or any other chemical-based liquid as such substances may irreparably damage the disc surface.
- Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high temperature, or high humidity for a long period of time as these conditions may warp or otherwise damage the disc.

- To play back an 8-cm (3-inch) compact disc, place it in the inner recessed area of the disc tray. Do not put a normal 12-cm CD on top of an 8-cm CD.
