1 MAIN FEATURES
(1) 100-CD rack type CD changer
The CDs are stored in a rack so they can be loaded and replaced easily.
(2) Daisy chain connection
The DCM-5001 can be connected as a sub unit in a daisy chain to the DCM-5000 (main unit). In this case, up to five DCM-5001s can be connected, transforming the system into a CD changer with a maximum of 600 discs.
In addition, the features described below can be used when connected in daisy chain to the DCM-5000.
- CD-TEXT compatibility
The CD-TEXT data is automatically transferred to the main unit.
Disc file function
The disc file input operations (disc titles, track titles, artists' names and group registration) can be performed from the main unit. This information can be viewed on the main unit's display or on the on-screen display. For details on disc files, refer to the DCM-5000's operating instructions.
- AL24 Processing and HDCD® (High Definition Compatible Digital®)
When connected in a daisy chain, the audio signals are transferred digitally, providing high quality sound. In addition, sound can be played through the AL24 Processing and HDCD decoder built into the DCM-5000. For details on AL24 Processing and HDCD, refer to the DCM-5000's operating instructions.
(3) Stand-alone operation
In addition to connecting DCM-5001s in a daisy chain, the DCM-5001 can also be operated independently (stand alone). The zone, random playback and cross fade modes can be selected using the mode switches on the rear panel.
(4) Multi-zone system with two CD drive mechanisms
The DCM-5001 is equipped with two CD drive mechanisms, so separate playback signals can be output from the two zones.
(5) Quick access (in the single zone mode)
The two CD drive mechanisms can be used alternately so that CDs can be played consecutively with no waiting time when switching to the next CD.
2 BEFORE USING
Pay attention to the following before using this unit:
- Moving the set.
To prevent short circuits or damaged wires in the connection cords, always unplug the power cord and disconnect the connection cords between all other audio components when moving the set.

3 CAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION
The CD player uses a microcomputer for controlling internal electronic circuits. In the event that the player is used while a near-by tuner or TV is turned on, although unlikely, interference could occur either in the sound from the tuner or the picture of the TV. To avoid this, please take the following precautions.
- Keep the CD player as far away from the tuner or TV set as possible.
- Keep the power cord and connecting cords of the CD player separate from the antenna wires of the tuner and TV.
- Interference is particular likely to occur when an indoor antenna or a 300/ ohms feeder cable is used. Thus, use of an outdoor antenna and 75/ ohms coaxial cable is strongly recommended.

300Ω/ohms feeder cable
75 Ω/ohms coaxial cable
Be sure to install the player on a flat surface. Setting it at a slant may result in malfunction or damage.



4 CAUTIONS DURING USE
- This compact disc player is capable of playing discs which have the mark at right.
- During track selection, during search and when the player sustains a strong impact, the disc's rotational speed changes greatly, causing a small noise to be emitted. This is not a malfunction of the player.
- If the CD player is operated while an FM or AM broadcast is being received, there may be noise in the FM or AM reception. Please switch the power to the CD player off at such times.
- The DCM-5000 has a broad dynamic range. Please exercise caution when turning up the volume on the amplifier in cases when the playback volume is low. If the volume is turned up too high, it could damage the speakers.

For heat dispersal, leave at least 10cm of space between the top, back and sides of this unit and wall or other components.


- Do not use any discs but exclusive audio discs with this CD player.
- Placing this player or its connection cords near a TV or other audio device could cause a humming sound to be emitted. If this occurs, relocate the player or reroute the connection cords.
- Be sure to remove the disc from the player before moving it. The discs could be damaged if left in the player while it is being moved.
- Do not move the player from a cold place to a warm place suddenly. If the player is cold when brought into a warm room, condensation could form, preventing proper operation of the player. If condensation does form on the player when it is brought into a warm room, wait at least 30 minutes before use.

DAISY CHAIN PLAYBACK
Connections (outline)

To connect in daisy chain, connect as shown on the diagram above. For details, refer to the following page.
Daisy chain control signals: Connect the connector cords (5-pin cords, included) from the last sub unit in the chain to the next higher one, and so on.
- Digital audio signals: These are connected in the same way as the daisy chain control signals. Be sure to connect both connector cords (included) between the units, whether you select the single zone mode or the multi zone mode.
* Digital output from the main unit (DCM-5000) with the daisy chain.
Each unit in the daisy chain has its own digital output signals based on the each system clock and the main unit transfers its digital data to outside equipments.
So it may cause the digital-unlock for a while and may result a pause in the sound or a spike noise when switching to another unit during the daisy chain operation. It depends on the receiving equipments (digital amp, D/A converter etc.) respectively.
In this case, do not connect the digital output to other equipments.
(We recommended to use the Audio signal output)
Connections (detailed)
(Connections when using a DCM-5000 as the main unit)
- When using DCM-5001s as sub units, up to five DCM-5001s can be connected (resulting in a 600-disc CD changer).

For connections of the DCM-5000 to the amplifier and other components, refer to the DCM-5000's operating instructions.
DCM-5000 (main unit)
DCM-5001 (first)
DCM-5001 (second)
- To avoid the hum, noise and other troubles during operation, please connect the supplied connector cords.

Cautions on daisy chain connections
Daisy chain connection (COAX)
- Connect the input and output jacks to the output and input jacks (respectively) with the same numbers.

* Be sure to connect both (1, 2) cords.
Daisy chain connection (control)
The cord can be connected to either the 1 or 2 jack.


Mode switch setting with daisy chain connection
Set the mode switches of the different components as described on the tables below.
Main unit (DCM-5000) setting
| Switch setting | Setting (ID No.) | Disc no. assignment | |||
| SW1 | SW2 | SW3 | SW4 | ||
| 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | Main unit of a daisy chain | 1 ~ 100 |
Sub unit (DCM-5001) setting
| Switch setting | Setting (ID No.) | Disc no. assignment | |||
| SW1 | SW2 | SW3 | SW4 | ||
| 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1st sub unit in daisy chain | 101 ~ 200 |
| 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 2nd sub unit in daisy chain | 201 ~ 300 |
| 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 3rd sub unit in daisy chain | 301 ~ 400 |
| 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 4th sub unit in daisy chain | 401 ~ 500 |
| 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 5th sub unit in daisy chain | 501 ~ 600 |
- Be sure to make the above settings. Be sure to set the DCM-5000 as the main unit. The first sub unit (the sub unit connected after the main unit) must be set to "0001". It cannot be set as the second or third sub unit. It is also not possible to skip numbers in the middle. The sub unit connected after the first sub unit must be set to the ID number for the second sub unit.
- If the mode switches are set wrong, the system cannot be operated normally.
Example: For the 3rd sub unit
DCM-5000 DCM-5001 DCM-5001 DCM-5001

"1000" "0001" "0010" "0011"
Playback
- Check the connections between all the components and the ID number settings of the different units (set with the mode switches), then turn on the power.
- Do not turn on the power switch of the main unit before turning on the power of the sub units. (It is necessary for the main unit to recognize the other unit.)
The numbers of the currently connected sub units appear in the "PLAYER" area of the DCM-5000's fluorescent display, indicating that the sub units are recognized as sub units.
Example: When a total of three units are connected (one DCM-5000 and two DCM-5001s): "1", "2" and "3" light.

- Once the above is completed, the DCM-5001s can be operated in the same way as the DCM-5000 using the keys on the DCM-5000's front panel or the remote control unit. (For details, refer to the DCM-5000's operating instructions.)
The system can be used as a CD changer with a maximum of 600 discs, and various operations can be performed (disc files, group playback, etc.).
- Before turn on the daisy chain system, be sure to check that the each unit's door is closed.
If you turn on the power with any unit open, its unit and the lower sub units can not be recognized as the part of the daisy chain system. - If you once open the door of one unit (main or sub unit) in the system, the daisy chain system stops its operation. Close the doors in order to restart the operation of the system.
- If you once turn off one of the unit (main unit or other sub unit) during operation, the system cannot be operated properly. So in this case, once turn off all the units and turn on the power of all the units again.
- Do not turn off the sub units during playback in any case. It will produce the noise from the audio output due to unusual condition of the system.
- If the connection cords (daisy chain control cords or digital audio cords for daisy chain) are not connected properly. Error message "Error 080 000" or "Error 1000 000" ( is a number code) appears on the display under circumstances.
If this happens, once turn off all the units of the system and check that the each connection cords are properly connected or not.
After correct the connection, turn on the power of the each unit again.
(If the problem persists, contact your store of purchase)
- About the error code in daisy chain
If the error code appears on the DCM-5000's display in the daisy chain system, the player No. that caused the error is also showed on the display.
Example: Error in the 1st sub unit.

DCM-5000 (Main unit) display
In this case, open the door of the displayed player depends on the error type. (For details, please refer to the DCM-5000's instruction manual.)
Close the door after check the disc, etc.
Once turn off the power of all units and turn on the daisy chain system again.
8 COMPACT DISCS
