With this unit, audio CDs (including CD-Rs and CD-RWs

) can be replayed. MP3 files can be replayed from CDs, USB flash drives

and SD / SDHC memory cards

(32 GB max.). 4 Setting up / Connecting the Unit The control unit and the replay unit are de- signed for installation into a rack for units with a width of 482 mm (19”), but they can also be used as tabletop units. The replay unit must always be operated horizontally, whereas the control unit can be installed as desired, e. g. also inclined. For rack in- stallation, 2 rack spaces each are required for the control unit and the replay unit (1 RS = 44.45 mm). Prior to making or changing any connections, switch off the CD-230USB and the units to be connected!

Use the two connection cables provided to connect the control unit to the replay unit: Connect the jack CONNECT TO CONTROL UNIT A (30) of replay unit A to the jack CONNECT TO MAIN UNIT A of operating unit A. Proceed in the same way to make a connection between replay unit B and operating unit B.

2) Connect each of the signal outputs LINE

OUT (28, 31) to a line level input of a mixer or amplifier, for example (likely lettering: Line, CD, Aux).

3) Connect the mains jack (29) to a socket

(230 V/ 50 Hz) via the mains cable provided. 5 Operation Switch on the unit with the POWER switch (26). During the reading process, READING will appear on the display (7). After that, when a CD is inserted, the display will show information about the CD; if no CD is in- serted, NO DISC will appear on the display.

1) To insert a CD, open the CD tray (21) with

the button (3 or 25). Insert the CD with the lettering facing upwards, and close the CD tray with the button . Note: The CD tray will be locked as long as a CD is being replayed. If required, stop the replay with the button (17).

2) Additionally or as an alternative, insert a

into the slot SD / MMC (22) with the notched corner of the card to the right and facing the unit. To remove the card, push the card into the slot until it disengages.

After switching on, the CD drives are always selected. To select the USB flash drive or the memory card, press the button CD / USB / SD (11) the appropriate number of times. The LEDs (4) above the jog wheel will indicate the replay medium selected. Note: A different replay medium can only be selected in the pause mode. If required, use the button to set the player to pause.

4) All the other operating options are listed

in the tables on the following pages. After operation, switch the CD/ MP3 player off with the POWER switch. 6 Maintenance of the Unit Protect the unit against dust, vibrations, humidity and heat (admissible ambient tem- perature: 0 – 40° C). For cleaning only use a dry, soft cloth; never use water or chemicals. Note concerning sound interruptions and reading errors Cigarette smoke and dust will easily pene- trate through all openings of the unit and will also settle on the optics of the laser sampling systems. If this deposit should cause reading errors and sound interruptions, the unit must be cleaned by skilled personnel. Please note that there will be a charge on cleaning, even during the warranty period! 7 Specifications Frequency range: 20 – 20 000 Hz THD: < 01 % Channel separation: > 80 dB Dynamic range: > 90 dB S/N ratio: > 80 dB Output: 2 V (line level), RCAjacks Anti-shock memory: for CDDA 10 sec for MP3 15 sec Power supply: 230 V/ 50 Hz Power consumption: 30 VA max Ambient temperature: 0 – 40° C Dimensions (W × H × D) Control unit: 482 × 88 × 100 mm, 2 RS Replay unit: 482 × 88 × 270 mm, 2 RS Weight: 61 kg
